PREVENTION AND CONTROL. The most important remedialaction is prevention of further exposure by providing safe drinking water. http://www.who.int/inf-fs/en/fact210.html

Fact Sheet No 210 Revised May 2001 ARSENIC IN DRINKING WATER A rsenic may be found in water which has flowed through arsenic-rich rocks. Severe health effects have been observed in populations drinking arsenic-rich water over long periods in countries world-wide. SOURCE Arsenic is widely distributed throughout the earth's crust. Arsenic is introduced into water through the dissolution of minerals and ores, and concentrations in groundwater in some areas are elevated as a result of erosion from local rocks. Industrial effluents also contribute arsenic to water in some areas. Arsenic is also used commercially e.g. in alloying agents and wood preservatives. Combustion of fossil fuels is a source of arsenic in the environment through disperse atmospheric deposition. Inorganic arsenic can occur in the environment in several forms but in natural waters, and thus in drinking-water, it is mostly found as trivalent arsenite (As(III)) or pentavalent arsenate (As (V)). Organic arsenic species, abundant in seafood, are very much less harmful to health, and are readily eliminated by the body. Drinking-water poses the greatest threat to public health from arsenic. Exposure at work and mining and industrial emissions may also be significant locally.

US Environmental Protection Agency reveals that tens of millions of Americans may be at risk from fluoridated drinking water. George Glasser September 5, 2000: In a twenty-two page, response to the United States House Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment, Chairman, Charles Fox, Assistant Administrator USEPA, admitted that after more than five decades of fluoridation at least tens of millions of Americans could could be adversely affected by fluoridated drinking water. Fox wrote: "EPA is in the process of developing medical fact sheets to provide medical practitioners (doctors, nurses, dieticians, etc.) with health data relative to drinking water contaminants that can be then used in counseling patients. This work has just begun, and will initially focus on the elderly, children and pregnant women. It will later be expanded to cover other at-risk populations. In addition, EPA has made it a requirement for public water systems to provide their clients with health effects information on contaminants in their water supply, including fluoride [Consumer Confidence Rule FR 63(160): 44512-44536]."* Charles Fox acknowledges the Toxicological Profile for Fluorides (US Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, 1993) page 112 statement:
