Scoping review suggests drinking water is often contaminated with arsenic following wildfires in the region (IMAGE)
Caption
Change in arsenic concentrations pre- and post-wildfire.
The forest plot shows pre- (blue) and post-wildfire (orange) arsenic (As) concentrations along with their percent change for articles reviewed containing this information. Shown are maximum values, except in two cases where means are shown as indicated. The dashed line represents the U.S. EPA’s drinking water limit of 10mg/L. Values below the detection limit for individual studies are noted with a “X” rather than a dot.
