Review On Adverse Effects Of Water Contaminants Like Arsenic, Fluoride And Phosphate And Their Remediation By S P Mishra , M Das and U. N. Dash

Usually drinking water collected from wells, rivers, ponds, lakes, etc. is bio-contaminated. Although, tube well water is free from bacterial contamination, but usually present are some toxic anions (fluoride, arsenate, arsenite, phosphate, chromate and selenate), which also cause various diseases. Since most of the rural people use water without any pretreatment, development of cost effective and simple technology is very much essential to purify water obtained from natural sources. This review presents removal of major anionic contaminants (arsenic, phosphate and fluoride) in water.
