Abstract :
Background and Objective: Water contamination with the toxic arsenic element comes from two sources of human and Earth. The layers and water-soluble arsenic-rich geological units can contaminate both ground and surface water sources. The high concentration of arsenic in water limit of 10 milligrams per liter higher than its standard amount can cause disruptions in human health as well as creating cancer.
Material and Methodology: In this study, samples of surface and ground water resources at 10 stations in northern and southern Vial located in highlands of Joghtay were gathered in April 2014. Then the samples were sent to Laboratory of Mashhad Ferdowsi University to analyze chemically. The analysis was planned to be done by atomic absorption spectrometry method.
Findings: This shows that: (1) The litology of the region has affected the water quality, so that the arsenic density varies from 1.9 to 6.7 m/l. (2) The direction of the slope of Geology layers has affected on the arsenic contamination of water and based of this consumption the highest concentrations of arsenic is in the northern slopes and in the direction of slope Geology layers which has been recorded. (3) Arsenic dissolved in water has no direct correlation with pH.
Discussion and Conclusion: It concluded that the arsenic density in the selected samples were at the standard level. But some fluctuations were seen in the water-soluble arsenic.
