Thanks for the input. That definitely makes sense! Looks like that article you sent is referencing wells in Europe. I would be in the US. All bottled water companies I've looked into list all of the levels of substances in the water and all that I have looked at have no measurable amount of arsenic.

Thanks for the replies. Are there any known studies into this? I see some city municipalities claiming the 500ppb for showering but I have not been able to find any science or studies or information backing that number up. The drinking water in the area I'm looking has 5-10ppb From what I can see, no level of arsenic in drinking water is safe (even though 5-10 does fall under the safety numbers I believe)

Hi everyone. Possibly moving to an area that has higher than I would like levels of arsenic in the water supply. I plan on drinking bottled water either way but I am concerned about showering, washing dishes, washing hands, etc. I would be living in an apartment so a whole house filter (reverse osmosis, etc) is not an option. Is arsenic absorbed through the skin? I have seen mixed science on this and I am really confused. If it is absorbed, are there are any studies or information on how much is absorbed and how it could effect human health? I appreciate any help
