The study also shows that the longer the drought lasts, the higher the likelihood that\u00a0 the levels of arsenic present will exceed safety standards set by the EPA. An estimated 4.1 million people are exposed to unsafe levels of arsenic in their well water, which is a drastic increase in exposure compared to last year. The five states which the study and an existing statistical model estimate will have the highest levels of exposure are Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Texas, and California. This study does not conclude how this affects individual wells, and did not study private domestic wells in Alaska or Hawaii.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New study shows that 4.1 million people may be exposed to elevated levels of arsenic in well water as a result of droughts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":3676,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-enpress-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
