Inorganic arsenic causes intestinal barrier disruption [PDF]

open access: yesMetallomics, 2019
Abstract Inorganic arsenic (As) is the most toxic form of As found in food and water. Gastrointestinal disorders have been reported in populations chronically exposed to this arsenical form or to one of its metabolites; however, studies to determine the mechanisms of inorganic As toxicity at the intestinal level are scarce.

Arsenic: A Review on a Great Health Issue Worldwide

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Arsenic intoxication represents a worldwide health problem and occurs mainly through drinking water. Arsenic, a metalloid and naturally occurring element, is one of the most abundant elements in the earth’s crust, whose toxicity depends on the reduction ...

Geochemistry of As-, F- and B-bearing waters in and around San Antonio de los Cobres, Argentina, and implications for drinking and irrigation water quality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Spring, stream and tap waters from in and around San Antonio de los Cobres, Salta, Argentina, were sampled to characterize their geochemical signatures, and to determine whether they pose a threat to human health and crops.

Feasibility of quantitative inorganic arsenic speciation at the parts-per-trillion level using solid phase extraction and femtosecond laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

open access: yesJournal of Analytical Science and Technology, 2021
Toxicity of arsenic compounds depends on the chemical structure as well as the concentration. Thus, separation of the toxic arsenic species should precede the quantification for the accurate toxicity assessment.

A Review of Speciation Analysis and Toxicity Evaluation of Arsenolipids in Marine Organisms [PDF]

open access: yesShipin Kexue, 2023
Arsenic is a poisonous semi-metal (metalloid) and has been identified as a human carcinogen. Arsenic poisoning can cause a variety of health damage to the human body. Arsenic can exist in both inorganic and organic forms.

Assessment of museum staff exposure to arsenic while handling contaminated exhibits by urinalysis of arsenic species

open access: yesJournal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology, 2017
Preservation of museum objects with inorganic arsenic compounds and contamination of the surroundings has previously been documented. The present study addresses the exposure of museum staff by measuring arsenicals in urine. After 1 week without exposure,
