- •
Common mitigation strategies to prevent well water arsenic exposure were assessed.
- •
These strategies were less able to prevent exposure when arsenic levels were > 40 μg/L.
- •
Bathing was not a significant arsenic exposure source for children or adults.
- •
Untreated water use explained more arsenic exposure in adults than children.
- •
Complete compliance with a mitigation strategy is important in reducing exposure.
