Arsenic and fluoride are two major global water pollutants. They are introduced into the environment via various natural and anthropogenic activities. Several countries in the world are facing the detrimental health and environmental effects of these contaminants. Many technologies have been proposed and implemented for the removal of arsenic and fluoride from water. However, there is an ever-increasing demand for affordable and reliable water purification approaches. All the technologies are primarily based on any one of the following purification techniques: membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, adsorption, precipitation, coagulation, oxidation, and ion exchange. The contaminant removal efficiency depends on the properties of the material used. Various materials have been tested and are used to deliver arsenic and fluoride-free water. In developing countries, affordability plays an important role in the implementation of water treatment strategies. This chapter gives an overview of simple, efficient, and affordable materials that combined with appropriate technologies, provide promising scalable solutions for the mitigation of arsenic and fluoride in water.
