Environmental heavy metal pollution and its toxicological effects on people Toxicology and Arsenic Exposure from a Historical Perspective
Author(s): Emmanuel Sinagra*
Humans frequently come into contact with the natural environmental pollutant metalloid arsenic through food, water, air, and soil. In addition to its long history as a murderous substance, arsenic has been utilised as a pesticide, a chemotherapeutic, and a component of consumer goods over the past century. High amounts of naturally occurring arsenic in drinking water are a toxicological issue in several parts of the world. Due to its ability to combine with other elements to form alloys and establish covalent connections with hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and other elements, arsenic exists in a variety of structural shapes and oxidation states. Inorganic and organic forms of arsenic that are trivalent or pentavalent in nature are relevant to the environment. Arsenic's (+3 oxidation state) role in the catalysis of arsenic metabolism Methyltransferase is an enzyme that sequentially redu.. View More»
