Abstract

Water and other environmental elements are necessary to all forms of life in addition to the future of the world. Poor sanitation and tainted water are linked to the spread of diseases like polio, cholera, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid, kidney disease, and diarrhea. People who have access to subpar, mismanaged, or nonexistent water and sanitation facilities run the risk of developing avoidable illnesses. Arsenic is one of the most toxic elements in nature, and its presence in the drinking water represents a dangerous environmental indicator because it affected many of the human body organs, such as cardiovascular, hematologic, hepatic, neurological, renal, and respiratory; it cannot be easily eliminated from the body. In this research, 7 locations have been studied to detect the arsenic level in water. The results of the study found that the concentrations of arsenic in water samples were (0-0.05) ppm for raw water, (0-0.05) ppm for tap water (0-0.27) ppm, and for RO water (0-0.18) ppm, while the value of WHO is (0.01) ppm.
