Arsenic poisoning Symptoms of arsenic poisoning begin with headaches, confusion, severe diarrhea, and drowsiness. As the poisoning develops, convulsions and changes in fingernail pigmentation called leukonychia striata, Mees' lines, or Aldrich-Mees' lines may occur.he dominant basis of arsenic poisoning is from ground water that naturally contains high concentrations of arsenic. A 2007 study found that over 137 million people in more than 70 countries are probably affected by arsenic poisoning from drinking water.

ARSENIC ARSENIC Overview Information. Arsenic is a trace element. It is found in several foods including seafood, poultry, grains (especially rice), bread, cereal products, mushrooms, and dairy products. Some forms of arsenic are used as medicine.Despite serious safety concerns, arsenic is often used as a part of extremely diluted homeopathic remedies that are used for digestive disorders, food poisoning, sleep problems (insomnia), allergies, anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).rsenic is a trace element that occurs naturally in very small amounts in the diet. Its exact functions are not known. The estimated adult daily intake of arsenic from a typical diet is 12-50 mcg. A dietary requirement of 12-25 mcg/day has been suggested. In leukemia, arsenic trioxide increases death of cancer cells.

Arsenic Smoking and arsenic exposure combined increase the risk of lung cancer. As regards the possible method by which arsenic causes cancer, the evidence in humans indicates that arsenic can cause damage to whole chromosomes (clastogenic effects) but does not appear to cause damage to individual genes.

- Arsenic trioxide, a therapeutic agent for APL. Ting-Dong Zhang, Guo-Qiang Chen, Zhu-Gang Wang, Zhen-Yi Wang, Sai-Juan Chen and Zhu Chen. The First Hospital affiliated to Harbin Medical University, 23 You Zheng Road, Nangang District, Harbin, 150001, PR China.he preliminary result in APL was reported in 1992 (Sun et al., 1992). A preparation containing arsenic with a trace amount of mercury chloride was administered at a dose of 10 mg As 2 O 3 /day and could induce clinical complete remission (CR) in 21 out of 32 (65.6%) patients without major toxic side effects.

Arsenic Poisoning 1 Symptoms of arsenic poisoning vary with the type and concentration of the poison. 2  Inorganic arsenic may cause abdominal pains, destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis), shock, and death quickly. Chronic poisoning has a better outcome. 2  Arsenic is found in groundwater, many chemicals, and foods. 3  If arsenic is in the organic form, it is likely nontoxic or weakly toxic to humans, but inorganic arsenic can also be found in similar locations and materials and in high concentrations in industrial processes.

Arsenic poisoning Arsenic poisoning is a medical condition caused by elevated levels of arsenic in the body. The dominant basis of arsenic poisoning is from ground water that naturally contains high concentrations of arsenic.A 2007 study found that over 137 million people in more than 70 countries are probably affected by arsenic poisoning from drinking water.hronic arsenic poisoning results from drinking contaminated well water over a long period of time. Many aquifers contain high concentration of arsenic salts. The World Health Organization recommends a limit of 0.01 mg/L (10 parts per billion) of arsenic in drinking water.

Mutation Research/Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis Arsenicals (arsenite and arsenic trioxide) themselves at non-toxic concentrations have only a very small effect on apoptosis induction in TK6 cells which is consistent with low-level induction of apoptosis by arsenite in HL-60 cells [28] and by arsenic trioxide in HL-60 cells and breast tumour cell lines [29].

Arsenic Toxicity What are the Physiologic Effects of Arsenic Exposure? 1 Cranial nerves are rarely affected, even in severe poisoning. 2  The mechanism of arsenic neuropathy may be similar to the neuropathy of thiamine deficiency [Sexton and Gowdy 1963], whereby arsenic inhibits the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A and thus blocks the Krebs cycle.
