Description
The purpose of this course is to provide a synopsis of the availability, performance and cost of 13 arsenic treatment technologies for soil, water and waste. Its intended audience includes hazardous waste site managers; generators and treaters of arsenic-contaminated waste and wastewater; owners and operators of drinking water treatment plants; regulators; and the interested public.
There is a growing need for cost-effective arsenic treatment. The presence of arsenic in the environment can pose a risk to human health. Historical and current industrial use of arsenic has resulted in soil and groundwater contamination that may require remediation. Some industrial wastes and wastewaters currently being produced require treatment to remove or immobilize arsenic. In addition, arsenic must be removed from some sources of drinking water before they can be used.
This course is general in nature and not state specific. You will not need any other materials for this course.
