NEWS RELEASE 12/4/2012:
Arsenic Likely in Nearly 40 Percent of New Hampshire's Groundwater
Nearly 40 percent of New Hampshire's bedrock groundwater likely contains at least low levels of naturally occurring arsenic, according to a new U.S. Geological Survey report. Arsenic levels are largely controlled by bedrock type and by fractures, but are associated with other factors including groundwater chemistry, hydrology, topography, land use and demographics, according to the study done in cooperation with the New Hampshire Departments of Health and Human Services, and Environmental Services.
