Abstract. The metalloid arsenic is a natural environmental contaminant to which humans are routinely exposed in food, water, air, and soil. Arsenic has a long history of use as a homicidal agent, but in the past 100 years arsenic, has been used as a pesticide, a chemotherapeutic agent and a constituent of consumer products.

At the food processing plant, a bag is filled with 400 g of rice containing 300 ppb and 600 g of rice containing 100 ppb. After thorough mixing of the grains, what would be the concentration of the rice in the bag? 1. 1000 ppb 2.200 ppb 3.330 p
Arsenic (As) is a metalloid prevalent mainly in soil and water. The presence of As above permissible levels becomes toxic and detrimental to living organisms, therefore, making it a significant global concern. Humans can absorb As through drinking polluted water and consuming As-contaminated food material grown in soil having As problems. …
1. Introduction. Contamination of soils and waters with arsenic (As) as a highly toxic element is an increasing environmental issue. The safety level of As in water (10 ppb) and soil (100 mg/kg) [] has already been exceeded by multifold (e.g., 50 ppb in drinking water) in many Asian countries, leading to various negative health implications, …

Table IV shows the level of development of some technology responses for processing complex arsenic-containing materials.30, 31 Most of these technologies have been developed to process high-arsenic-containing streams. However, with blending continuing to be the most popular approach, a gradual increase in arsenic content in …
ore processing plant show that the As concentrations in drinking water and milk are higher than in control areas at 40 - 50 km distance from the source The maximal effect was observed at a distance of 8 - 12 km. In an ore processing plant in Kokkola in western Finland, arsenic is produced by smelters processing ores emitting sulfur compounds.
In plant practice, a dosage of Fe(III) chloride or sulphate at pH < 8.5 will remove arsenic(V) in the form of a sludge, which is then filtered and disposed (Han et al, 2002; Choong et al, 2007).
The processing is related to arsenic wastes generation either in the form of solid residues or as effluent streams. The major concern is associated with the As 2 O 3 formation through the oxidative roasting step, and the production of effluents containing As(III)/As(V) and remaining soluble complexes at the POX and cyanidation steps, …
The uptake and accumulation of arsenic by paddy rice is influenced by both low and high pH. In acidic environments (pH < 5) the uptake of arsenic by plants is increased due to increased solubility of arsenic-binding species, such as Fe-oxyhydroxide compounds (Signes-Pastor et al., 2007). On the other hand, alkaline conditions (usually …
Arsenic in the environment can be taken up by plants and ingested by animals and enter the food supply. It is more common in certain foods and foods grown in geographical areas with higher levels ...
Arsenic contaminations, often adversely influencing the living organisms, including plants, animals, and the microbial communities, are of grave apprehension. Many physical, chemical, and biological techniques are now being explored to minimize the adverse affects of arsenic toxicity. Bioremediation of arsenic species using arsenic …
Among numerous arsenic remediation methods, those supported by using microbes as sorbents (microbial remediation), and/or plants as green factories …
Arsenic accumulates in soils as a result of groundwater irrigation in Bangladesh. Several chapters in this volume address the scale of this problem and its relationship with plant–soil interactions. Arsenic and other trace elements may be from anthropogenic sources or naturally occur as minor constituents in soil compartments.
METHODS. We conducted a literature search in PubMed for original research studies evaluating rice consumption and human health outcomes known to be caused by arsenic exposure largely from studies of drinking water contamination including cancers (e.g., of the skin, bladder and lung), and cardiovascular diseases and their precursors or risk factors …
All plants can absorb some arsenic, but rice, cultivated in flooded conditions, can absorb much more than other grains. ... Carcea M. From durum wheat to pasta: Effect of technological processing on the levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead and nickel—A pilot study. Food Addit.

Arsenic contamination in industrial and mining effluents has always been a serious concern. Recently, nano-sized iron particles have been proven effective in sorptive removal of arsenic, because of their unique surface characteristics. In this study, green synthesis of iron nanoparticles was performed using a mixed extract of two plant …
Arsenic (V) levels in solution can be reduced below 0. 1 mg/l in this process. A process based on the precipitation of barium arsenate appears to be applicable to the treatment of arsenic from gold processing waste water. The high cost of reagents may be an important consideration. Precipitation of Titanium (IV) – Arsenic (V) …

The former Jennings Arsenic Processing Plant was historically used for the production of Prickly Pear poison, developing arsenic trioxide powder from 1923 to 1931. The site had rehabilitation works in the 1950s and 2000s. Works in the 1950s involved the burial of arsenic impacted soil and drums used in the packaging process.
In addition, historical arsenic processing plants in Cornwall and New South Wales (NSW) have cultural significance and are maintained for tourism by the UN and UK Government, and by the NSW state government, respectively, meaning that remediation efforts must ideally be non-destructive while also mitigating health risks to visitors.
The removal of arsenic from arsenic-bearing minerals is significant for further efficient and clean utilization of mineral resources. Roasting is widely used in industrial production due to its large processing capacity and high efficiency, but it also has the disadvantages of serious pollution and high energy cost.
