It is a natural component of the earth’s crust and is widely distributed throughout the environment in the air, water and land it is highly toxic in its inorganic form. People are exposed to inorganic arsenic through drinking contaminated water, using contaminated water in food preparation and irrigation of crops industrial processes, eating contaminated food and smoking tobacco. Arsenic has many ill effects in our health mainly through drinking water and food can lead to chronic arsenic poisoning skin lesions and skin cancer. The immediate symptoms of acute arsenic poisoning include diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pains. These are followed by numbness and tingling of the extremities, muscles cramping and death in extreme cases. Ground water continues to be the most common source of arsenic poisoning. One of the most effective preventive measures against arsenic poisoning is to make sure you drink clean, filtered water. We can also make sure that all foods are prepared in clean water. If we work in industries that use arsenic, take extra precautions. Bring your own water from home, and wear a mask to reduce accidental arsenic inhalation. While traveling, consider drinking bottled water only.
