Arsenic may be very reactive with aluminum. I saw what looked to be an arsenic removal technique using activated aluminum. Also, it is a biocide which seems to be quite poisonous to humans. I see reference to cancer, SIDS and autism, to mention a few.

Is the danger less than is what is feared? Would the amount of arsenic in the water be dangerous? Would it escape or form an almalgam with the aluminum?

Needs a good chemist to answer.
