Arsenic Poisoning Symptoms of arsenic poisoning vary with the type and concentration of the poison. Inorganic arsenic may cause abdominal pains, destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis), shock, and death quickly. Lower concentrations of inorganic arsenic and organic arsenic cause far less severe symptoms.

Types of poison That may help to account for the wide range of toxic effects of arsenic. The most obvious and immediate cases of arsenic poisoning have occurred when a large dose of arsenic is taken (or given!) in a short period of time. This kind of exposure is called acute arsenic poisoning, and some of the symptoms are: 1  Vomiting. 2  Throat and stomach pain. 3  Bloody diarrhea. 4  Eventually it may lead to shock, seizure, coma and death.

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.

Arsenic Poisoning Symptoms and Signs of Toxicity, Exposure Excluding other conditions that may cause these signs and symptoms should not lead to a final diagnosis unless there is evidence of arsenic poisoning and positive test results. 1  Vomiting. 2  Diarrhea – with severe gastrointestinal bleeding, black diarrhea may be evident.3  Hypersalivation – increased saliva production.he symptoms may be experienced almost immediately after consuming drink or food containing arsenic or it may only be present 30 to 60 minutes after consumption. This depends on the quantity of arsenic within the food or drink and the type of food ingested.

--Chapt. Arsenic poisoning or arsenicosis is a condition caused by the ingestion, absorption or inhalation of dangerous levels of arsenic. Arsenic is a natural semi-metallic chemical that is found all over the world in groundwater. In some areas of the world, natural levels of arsenic in the water are extremely dangerous and hard to detect; arsenic typically has no flavor or odor.

Radiation poisoning Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) is a collection of health effects that are present within 24 hours of exposure to high amounts of ionizing radiation. The radiation causes cellular degradation due to damage to DNA and other key molecular structures within the cells in various tissues.

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.

Hypervitaminosis A Acute toxicity occurs after consuming large amounts of vitamin A over a short period of time, typically within a few hours or days. Chronic toxicity occurs when large amounts of vitamin A build up in the body over a long period of time. Symptoms include visual changes, bone pain, and skin changes.

Arsenic (As) and water Acute toxicity is generally higher for inorganic arsenic compounds than for organic arsenic compounds. Oral intake of more than 100 mg is lethal. The lethal dose of arsenic trioxide is 10-180 mg, and for arsenide this is 70-210 mg. The mechanism of toxicity is binding and blocking sulphur enzymes.
