Abstract

The aim of this survey is to determine the concentration of Arsenic in underground water and surface water sources in two districts viz. Moradabad and Rampur of western U.P. Water samples collected from five different locations of each district were filtered and acidified with nitric acid and then stored in double-capped polyethylene bottles for further analysis by an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. After comparing the data to the WHO (2011) permissible limit, the study revealed that the concentration of Arsenic was higher than the regulatory threshold; therefore, the underground water system is seriously affected by Arsenic toxicity.
