Occurrences Rarely occurs as a pure element (compound) Common ores of arsenic: •Arsenopyrite (FeAsS), •Orpiment (As 2 S 3 ) • Realgar (As 4 S 4 )
In earth’s crust: 5ppm The world’s most largest producers: China,
Chile, Mexico, Belgium, Namibia, and the Philippines ( The us does not )

Health Effect Birth defects Carcinogen: Lung cancer, cancers of the
bladder and kidneys Gastrointestinal damage Severe Vomiting Diarrhea Death Concentrate within the internal organs, skin,
hair, urine and lead to disease.

Heavy metals: Are metal that have density more than 5g/ml.
Common Heavy metals: Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As)
Mercury (Hg)• Sources: flame and cinnabar ore• Effects: lungs, skin, stomach , eye, mucus membrane ,
vomiting ,diarrhea and kidney, chest tightness, brain, birth defect.
Cadmium (Cd)• Sources: combination with zinc ore in earth crust,
industries, poisoning product, rocks, flame, batteries, paints, pigments, dye, fertilizers, pesticide, some alloys.

• Effects: diarrhea, stomach pains, severe Vomiting, Itai-Itai disease(bone fracture), kidney , central nervous system, immune system, Psychological disorders, DNA damage, Cancer development, environment.
Lead (Pb)• Sources: Industry discharge, Solders flame, sewage
effluent, flame.• Effects: metabolic poison, kidney damage, Interstitial
nephritis of kidney Inhibits hemoglobin synthesis and cause anemia, Inhibits enzyme activity, Neurological and reproductive dysfunctions.

Arsenic (As)• Sources: pesticide, herbicide, Combustion of coal,
smelting of goal, lead, copper and nickel , Leachate from abandoned gold mines, wood preservative, Tobacco smoke.
• Effects: birth Defects, Carcinogen (lung cancer, caners of the bladder and kidneys), Gastrointestinal damage, severe Vomiting, Diarrhea, Death, Concentrate within the internal organs, skin, hair, urine and lead to various disease.
