The Arsenic concentrations in South Punjab and in some parts of Sindh have been found high then Revised WHO guidelines. 1t will take some time to control arsenic through treatment process. Lead concentration in the proposed standards is higher than WHO Guidelines. As the piping system for supply of drinking water in urban centres are generally old and will take significant r esources and time to get them replaced. In the recent past, Lead was completely phased out from petroleum products to cut down Lead entering into environment. These steps will enable to achieve WHO guidelines for Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium and Zine However, for bottled water, WHO limits for Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium and Zine will be applicable and PSQCA Standards for all the remaining parameter S.
