Abstract
Arsenic poisoning of groundwater is one of the most critical environmental hazards on Earth. Therefore, the practical and proper treatment of arsenic in water requires more attention to ensure safe drinking water. The World Health Organization (WHO) sets guidelines for 10μg/L of arsenic in drinking water, and direct long-term exposure to arsenic in drinking water beyond this value causes severe health hazards to individuals. Numerous studies have confirmed the adverse effects of arsenic after long-term consumption of arsenic-contaminated water. Here, technologies for the remediation of arsenic from water are highlighted for the purpose of understanding the need for a single-point solution for the treatment of As(III)-contaminated water. As(III) species are neutral at neutral pH; the solution requires transformation technology for its complete removal. In this critical review, emphasis was placed on single-step technologies with multiple functions to remediate arsenic from water.
