Arsenic is both toxic and carcinogenic. It is in inorganic forms, dissolved in drinking water which is the most significant forms of natural exposure. Organic forms of arsenic that may be present in food are much less toxic to humans. Clinical manifestations of arsenic poisoning begin with various forms of skin diseases, which lead to damage of internal organs, ultimately to cancer and death.
Cause of Arsenic: This toxic element is found in tub-well water. People are affected by it only when they drink it arsenic is detected in water in many parts of our country. The primary sours of arsenic in the natural environment is arsenic bearing minerals, most areas bearing sulfide alone with copper, nickel, lead, cobalt and other metals. Arsenic in soils manly deprived from its parents rock materials. The mixture of
arsenic is not desirable in drinking water but is practically unavoidable. A concentration in excess of permissible limit 0.05 ppm in per liter of water increases the risk of arsenic poisoning.
Water quality testing lab over the past few years, access to safe water has become increasingly difficult due to changes in the quality and quantity of ground and surface water. Gradual declining of and arsenic poising in ground water, and saline intrusion have posed a great threat to the availability of potable drinking water. This issue has been further complicated by the absence of adequate number of well-equipped laboratory for regular water quality testing. Regular testing of water quality has become crucial to ensure the standard of drinking water quality.
(magazine)Organic rice baby cereal, rice breakfast cereals, brown rice, white rice—new tests by Consumer Reports have found that those and other types of rice products on grocery shelves contain arsenic, many at worrisome levels.Arsenic not only is a potent human carcinogen but also can set up children for other health problems in later life. Following our January investigation, "Arsenic in Your Juice,"which found arsenic in apple and grape juices, we recently tested more than 200 samples of a host of rice products. They included iconic labels and store brands, organic products and conventional ones; some were aimed at the booming
gluten-free market.
The results of our tests were even more troubling in some ways than our findings for juice. In virtually every product tested, we found measurable amounts of total arsenic in its two forms. We found significant levels of inorganic arsenic, which is a carcinogen, in almost every product category, along with organic arsenic, which is less toxic but still of concern. Moreover, the foods we checked are popular staples, eaten by adults and children alike As humans inhabit the earth, they manipulate the natural resources that are available to them for many reasons. In most of these manipulation processes substances are emitted into the air, water or soil. Substances that become unpleasant or harmful to humans as a result of manipulation are considered a pollutant. Many of these substances are natural. More substances are man-made,
and when exposed to humans at high levels, or low levels at a more consistent period over time, can lead to complications for the human body. This brief will introduce you to the substance, Arsenic as a pollutant.Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that is distributed throughout the earth’s crust and is commonly recognized as a metal. Although, arsenic can be recognized as a metal, it can also be found organically and inorganically, inorganic arsenic is considered more toxic. Arsenic in this form is usually found when combined with
oxygen, chlorine or sulfur. Organic Arsenic is found when combined with carbon and hydrogen. Arsenic is odorless and tasteless, which is why you are not able to recognize it in your food, water, or air. Arsenic, from natural occurrences, such as volcano eruptions makes up for one third of the arsenic in the earth’s atmosphere. The majority of arsenic present in the atmosphere comes from industrial processes, such as mining, smelting or coal-fired power plants and pesticides used for timber preservation.
(Oz)The US Geological Survey says China is the world’s largest producer of arsenic. We outlawed arsenic in pesticides in the
US, but we don’t know what happens in other countries’ apple orchards. Those apples can be sprayed with pesticides that contain inorganic arsenic. Our show found that one box of American apple juice can come from apple concentrate from China and six other countries. That’s how arsenic can get into the US juice supply. We have the right to know how safe that concentrate
is.
Humans consume arsenic via contaminated water or food. Poisoning can come from swallowing a large and readily absorbed amount of arsenic. Arsenic can also be inhaled, but however consumed after it is absorbed into the bloodstream;arsenic is eliminated from the body through urination. Arsenic can affect the ‘gut’, heart and nervous system in humans when swallowed in large quantities. (Newscientist)Remember the arsenic-munching bacteria from last year? They proved controversial when they were first reported, and the argument is rumbling on in a series of critical articles, just published in Science.The arsenic researchers are sticking to their guns - more or
less.
The microbes were presented to the worldamid a blizzard of publicity in December. While all other life relies on six key elements, the
bacteria were claimed to be an exception. According to Felisa Wolfe-Simon of NASA's Astrobiology Institute and the US Geological Survey in
Menlo Park, California and colleagues, the bacteria could replace the phosphorus in their DNA with
arsenic.
