The King of Poison

Famous for long-term poisoning. This isn’t a smash and grab offender, it’s a stealth act.

Shows up naturally through arsenic-rich geology and sediments and through human activity such as legacy mining and industrial sites. If your water source comes from underground, arsenic may be lurking.

Arsenic is colourless, odourless and tasteless in water and is not removed by boiling. Linked to skin, bladder and lung cancers, skin lesions, cardiovascular disease and neurological impacts.

Know your source water, check water quality results with your local supplier. If concerned, use a certified filter for removal.
