ITRC plans to conduct outreach efforts providing easily accessible treatment training, both for operators and for individual well owners, providing comparative technology evaluations for regulators, and evaluating the applicability and effectiveness of alternative compliance monitoring and in-system blending as treatment alternatives. The team plans to produce case studies, technology overview and technical/regulatory documents, training, and finally recommendations to EPA on Best Available Technology (BAT) designations.

The goals of this group are to increase communication among scientists working on arsenic problems and ultimately to make our contributions more widely available to others working on arsenic studies. The basic information contained on the Studies Group web site will be descriptions of ongoing studies and point of contact information.

Web Sites

Abandoned Mine Lands (AML): Technical Resources

Arsenic is among the contaminants commonly found at mining sites, so the technologies used to treat acid mine drainage and its inorganic constituents may be useful at sites where arsenic is found with other inorganic contaminants.

Arsenic Rule Compliance Success Stories
U.S. EPA, Office of Water, Washington, DC, 2007

Arsenic Virtual Trade Show
U.S. EPA, 2007

The Arsenic Virtual Trade Show is a learning portal designed to help water systems comply with EPA's Arsenic Rule. The Web site contains brief treatment technology descriptions, interactive decision trees, questions to ask engineers and vendors when choosing a treatment technology, and a searchable vendor database. Visitors can sign up to be notified about site updates.

Chronic Arsenic Poisoning: History, Study and Remediation
Harvard University Arsenic Project website, 2004.

Arsenic problems have been studied for several years both at Harvard University and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Harvard and MIT have established an Arsenic Project website that offers information on arsenic incidence in various countries, chronic health effects, and arsenic measurement and remediation. The developers also have assembled an enormous collection of references to books, papers (some on line), and conference proceedings.

Dartmouth Toxic Metals Research Program

Provides information, research articles, and links to other resources for arsenic and other metals.

Multimedia Resources

Treatment DVD

EPA has developed 6 short videos that showcase the real-world application of various arsenic treatment removal technologies.

Interactive Workshop on the Removal of Arsenic from Drinking Water

This CD-ROM is a companion to the eleven successful arsenic training events held in 2005. It features user-friendly navigation through the world of arsenic treatment, including audio commentary from top experts.
