What is Arsenic Market?
Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that is widely distributed in the Earth’s crust. It is found in water, air, food, and soil. There are two general forms of arsenic as organic and inorganic. Inorganic arsenic, which affects the drinking water of millions of people worldwide, has been shown to be a human carcinogen. As a poison, arsenic trioxide (As2O3) has several desirable qualities: it looks like sugar and is tasteless, and it only takes about a tenth of a gram to kill someone. While its use as a human poison has greatly declined, arsenic is still used as an herbicide, particularly in growing cotton, and as a wood preservative. It is estimated that in North America at least 25% of the daily intake of arsenic from meats, poultry, dairy products, cereals, and tea are in the inorganic form.
