This article discusses how testing source water alone may not be sufficient to determine the arsenic load in finished water. Some treatment chemicals may also contain trace amounts of arsenic. Methods for computing the trace arsenic concentrations in finished water that are contributed by treatment chemicals are given, along with tables tabulating information produced by several calculations.
