Burden of Arsenic Poisoning.
• United States– (AAPCC) & (NPDS) in 2010:• 927 human exposures.
• The majority of the pesticide exposures occurred in children younger than 5 years (43 [65%] of 67).

Burden of Arsenic Poisoning.
• International–100 million people are at risk.
– In Bangladesh 95% of the water supply is arsenic contaminated.

Burden of Arsenic Poisoning.
• Mortality/Morbidity– (AAPCC) & (NPDS), 6 individuals suffered major
effects and 3 died from exposure to nonpesticide arsenic exposure in 2011.

Control And PreventionLong term
• Drinking water arsenic concentration below 10μg/L.– Rain water collection.– Regular testing of water.– Installing arsenic removal system.
• Occupational exposure to low level.
• Public awareness and education.
• Monitor high risk population for early signs. http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/dwq/wsh0306/en/index3.html

Summary• Inorganic Arsenic is the toxic form.
• Underground Drinking water is the major source.
• Acute and Chronic health Effect mainly on the skin, respiratory and CNS.
• Known Carcinogenic.
• 10μg/L level in drinking water.
• Prevention and Control.
