If arsenic concentrations are greater than 0.010 mg/L: Consider testing for arsenic again using a low-level arsenic analysis. This will provide a more accurate reading and confirm whether additional steps should be taken. If low-level arsenic test confirms greater than 0.010 mg/L of arsenic, avoid using water for drinking and cooking.Web
