Arsenic can be found as a contaminant in food and water sources. Shellfish and other seafood, as well as fruits, vegetables, and rice; are the foods most commonly contaminated. Arsenic poisoning typically occurs as a result of industrial exposure, from contaminated wine or illegally distilled spi...
and water, but usually in low concentrations. However, it can become more concentrated when industrial processes use it to make wood preservatives, metal compounds, or organic arsenic-containing compounds such as insecticides, weed killers, and other compounds. If such compounds are burned, inorganic...
Arsenic in drinking water causes severe health effects and it is widely diffused in groundwater around the world. This paper presents the results of a survey about the main arsenic removal technologies employed in Italy and the main features in the management of real treatment plants. 19 drinking...
In natural water arsenic participates in oxidation and reduction reactions, coagulation and adsorption. Adsorption of arsenic to fine particles in water and precipitation with aluminium or iron hydroxides causes arsenic to enter sediments. After some time arsenic may dissolve once again consequential to ...
"The next step in our research is to try and identify at what concentration arsenic causes detectable changes in lung growth so we can better inform public health policies around water quality." More information:Ramsey, K.A. Bosco, A. McKenna, K.L. Carter, K.W. Elliot, J.G. Berry, ...
Arsenic in drinking water causes many health problems, such as lung and urinary bladder cancer, muscular weakness, nerve tissue injuries, blackfoot disease, etc. [1,2]. Arsenic is a redox-sensitive element, and its chemistry is a very extensive subject. The appearance, ...
Groundwater with As concentrations exceeding the current WHO limit (10 μg/L) has been found in many countries, including Bangladesh, India, United States, Japan, Argentina, Vietnam and China (Guo et al., 2014; Karn, 2015). Long-term digestion of As-contaminated groundwater causes skin ...

Such a high occurrence of Arsenic by both natural and human activities causes the element to make its way to your drinking water. Drinking water is supplied from underground wells and surface water sources, such as lakes and rivers. Either way, Arsenic enters drinking water by draining into the...
