Executive operations for the construction of an arsenic removal facility in the northwestern province of Ardabil have started, deputy director of Planning and Development Department at the provincial water and wastewater company said.
“Estimated to cost $20 million, the facility will have the capacity to process 500 liters of water per second,” Jebraeel Ramezani was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
A poisonous and carcinogenic metalloid, arsenic is found in the environment through natural and manmade sources, he added.
Noting that the gravest danger emanates from dissolved arsenic in drinking water, the official said having an effective arsenic filter is, therefore, essential for ensuring a safe supply of drinking water.
