Sažetak
Groundwater in Eastern Croatia contains elevated concentrations of inorganic arsenic. The biggest well field in the area has an average arsenic concentration of 200 μg/L and it supplies the population of around 200, 000 people with drinking water. Croatian Regulation has adopted guidelines from the European Council Directive for the maximum concentration limit (MCL) of 10 μg/L of As in drinking water. However, it has been estimated that almost 120, 000 people drink water from that well field with a concentration of arsenic over 10 μg/L. To reduce the health risks associated with arsenic contaminated water intake in Eastern Croatia it is important to develop proper strategies that will use one of the following technologies for arsenic removal: oxidation, coagulation-flocculation, adsorption, ion exchange or membrane technologies.
