Description

Arsenic contamination, particularly in stormwater is a worldwide problem as it poses a public health threat. Arsenic exposure leads to varying health conditions such as skin conditions, heart diseases, and cancer. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of carbon-based adsorbents in removing Arsenate (AS(V)) in synthetic stormwater, focusing on how iron modification enhances the uptake of As(V).
