Arsenic Mapping Project

The Arsenic Mapping Project is an effort to identify and visualize areas with elevated arsenic levels in water sources, particularly in regions where groundwater is used for drinking. By collecting and analyzing water samples, scientists create detailed maps that highlight communities at risk. This information helps public health officials and residents understand the extent of arsenic contamination, guiding interventions, regular testing, and community awareness to reduce health risks associated with long-term arsenic exposure, such as cancer and other health problems.
