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

How absorbable is arsenic (in water) through the skin?

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.
