Water pitcher filter to reduce arsenic in well water
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections clinical trials.
This study gives eligible New Hampshire residents a special water pitcher filter that helps remove arsenic from well water. The study team will check if the filter works well over time and if people can use it easily at home.
