Abstract: Arsenic (As) contamination of drinking water is a global issue, affecting health of millions of people in many countries. Drinking water companies in the Netherlands have recently established 1 µg/L as the guideline for As in drinking water based on dose-effect modelling of low-level As in Dutch drinking water which has shown that 10 µg/L is not sufficiently protective for the health of Dutch population. In the Netherlands some of the water treatment plants (WTPs) produce drinking water with higher than 1 µg/L As and currently Dutch drinking water companies are investigating options to reduce As to <1 µg/L at these WTPs.
