Converting Fisheries Waste into a Sustainable Adsorbent for Arsenic Removal from Drinking Water

Arsenic (As) levels exceeding the acceptable level (10 ?g/L) in drinking water are detected in private, public, and school wells in many of Newfoundland’s small and remote communities. These wells are the main or sole sources of drinking water. This project aims to develop a sustainable solution to remove As from drinking water by diverting renewable fisheries waste from the landfill to manufacture an environmentally friendly adsorbent.
