Datasheet: Electromedia IX For Fluoride & Arsenic Filtration

Filtronics Electromedia® IX reduces fluoride and arsenic content to below detection limits (2 ppb) for high influent concentrations.

Fluoride is found in the waste discharges from process streams from many different industries. Significant amounts of fluoride come from the following: glass manufacturers, electroplating operations, semiconductor manufacturers, steel and aluminum, pesticides and fertilizer, and groundwater. In certain regions in the US, there is enough fluoride in the water to cause fluorosis.

Arsenic is a naturally occuring element found in rocks, soil and water. Apart from industrial waste streams, contamination by arsenic and fluoride can occur from the natural dissolution of minerals into groundwater streams. High fluoride and arsenic levels in drinking water are known to cause serious health problems when MCL's exceed regulated limits.
