In 1993, the SAB reviewed EPA's draft "Drinking Water Criteria Document on Inorganic Arsenic" and concluded that current data support an association between high levels of arsenic and cancer in humans (EPA-SAB-DWC-34-005). In 1994, the consent decree from the citizen suit was amended and EPA was required to propose a rule
ادامه مطلبArsenic (inorganic oxides) is on the Proposition 65 list because it can cause birth defects or other reproductive harm . Exposure to inorganic arsenic oxides during pregnancy may affect the development of the child. Proposition 65 requires businesses to determine if they must provide a warning about exposure to listed chemicals.
ادامه مطلبOrganic arsenic is arsenic that occurs naturally in plants and animals as part of organic compounds. Its atom is attached to a carbon or carbon-based functional group. Arsenic, occurring in nature in inorganic substances is known as inorganic arsenic. It has a simpler form than the organic one. Uses.

ادامه مطلبAtoms of arsenic can combine with atoms of other elements to form a variety of compounds. These can be divided into two categories, "inorganic" and "organic." In this case, the term "organic" is used in its proper chemical sense, referring to molecules that have a framework of carbon atoms. In an "organic" arsenic compound, the arsenic atom is attached to a carbon that may, for ...
