Abstract

The article presents the analysis of modern data and the history of the development of normative documents regulating the content of arsenic in drinking water in Russia and other countries. The comparative characteristic of arsenic rationing in drinking water on a global scale and in the context of individual countries is given. The absence of uniform requirements for arsenic content in drinking water in the current regulatory documents of Russia is noted. In terms of harmonization of the regulatory framework with international requirements, it is recommended to bring SanPin 2.1.4.1074-01 «Drinking water. Hygienic requirements for the quality of water of centralized systems of drinking water supply. Quality control.» to GN 2.1.5.1315-03 «Maximum permissible concentration of chemicals in water of water facilities used for commercial, household, and recreational purposes».
