Download or read book Arsenic in Drinking Water written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-12-26 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having safe drinking water is important to all Americans. The Environmental Protection Agency's decision in the summer of 2001 to delay implementing a new, more stringent standard for the maximum allowable level for arsenic in drinking water generated a great deal of criticism and controversy. Ultimately at issue were newer data on arsenic beyond those that had been examined in a 1999 National Research Council report. EPA asked the National Research Council for an evaluation of the new data available. The committee's analyses and conclusions are presented in Arsenic in Drinking Water: 2001 Update. New epidemiological studies are critically evaluated, as are new experimental data that provide information on how and at what level arsenic in drinking water can lead to cancer. The report's findings are consistent with those of the 1999 report that found high risks of cancer at the previous federal standard of 50 parts per billion. In fact, the new report concludes that men and women who consume water containing 3 parts per billion of arsenic daily have about a 1 in 1,000 increased risk of developing bladder or lung cancer during their lifetime.

Download or read book Some Drinking water Disinfectants and Contaminants Including Arsenic written by IARC Working Group on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans and published by IARC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A working group of 23 experts from 13 countries met in Lyon to evaluate the evidence for carcinogenicity of arsenic (mostly naturally occurring) as a contaminant of drinking-water, and of the water-disinfectant chloramine. The working group also evaluated or re-evaluated four chlorination by-products found in drinking-water, namely chloral hydrate, di- and trichloroacetic acids, and 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (also known as MX). High-level exposure to arsenic in drinking-water occurs in some regions such as China, Latin America, Bangladesh and West Bengal. The Working Group reviewed epidemiological studies of human cancer (mainly ecological studies in Taiwan and Chile, and several case-control and cohort studies) in relation to arsenic in drinking-water. Arsenic in drinking-water (primarily inorganic, as arsenate and to a lesser extent arsenite) was evaluated as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1) on the basis of sufficient evidence for an increased risk for cancer of the urinary bladder, lung and skin. Studies on inorganic arsenic in experimental animals provided limited evidence for its carcinogenicity, but sufficient evidence was found in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of dimethylarsinic acid (an organic form of arsenic), which produced urinary bladder tumours in rats and lung tumours in mice after oral administration.

Download or read book Organic Compounds of Arsenic and Antimony Classic Reprint written by Gilbert T. Morgan and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Organic Compounds of Arsenic and Antimony Organic derivatives of arsenic appeal to the scientific public for two widely different reasons. From the historical standpoint these substances are of considerable interest because they have been under investigation throughout a period of time coeval with the birth and development of modem chemistry. Successive generations of chemists have examined these compounds from points of view which varied with the gradual evolution of chemical science, and the results of their researches have played an important part in the establishment of current theories of the molecular constitution of matter. Additional importance is conferred on the subject by the circumstance that very early in the study of organic arsenical compounds it was realised that, in these Synthetic products, the physician has at his disposal substances of great physiological potency. It is chiefly this medicinal attribute of organic arsenicals which has evoked the more recent activities in the synthesis of organo-metalloidal compounds. These utilitarian investigations have not been restricted to organic arsenicals, but have extended to the corresponding derivatives of antimony, and accordingly these related products are also discussed in the present monograph. Both series of organo-metalloidal compounds are already so extensive that a detailed description of every individual member would render this treatise unduly bulky, but a liberal selection has been made comprising those substances having either a practical application or some aspect of theoretical interest. A bibliography of the most important researches and treatises down to the end of 1917 has been included, and these references to original memoirs supply the necessary clue to further information regarding any known organic arsenical or antimonial which may in the future acquire increased prominence.
