The most talked about metalloid in the modern world, arsenic
affects the liver, kidney, and lungs; leads to cardiovascular
diseases, cancer, and diabetes; and may cause blindness with
long-time exposure. With naturally occurring arsenic boosted by
mining and other industrial processes contaminating soil and
drinking water, arsenic toxicity is a major challenge to health
professionals and scientists around the world. Arsenic Toxicity:
Prevention and Treatment reviews current understanding of arsenic
poisoning and the health consequences resulting from exposure. The
book paints a vivid picture of the sources of arsenic toxicity
including ground water; food such as rice, fruits and vegetables,
fish, and chicken as well as occupational exposures from industries
using inorganic arsenic such as glass production, non-ferrous
alloy, wood preservation, and semiconductor manufacturing units.
The text details the health hazards of arsenic toxicity and then
examines removal, mainly from soil and water, highlighting
eco-friendly bioremediation techniques. It discusses classical and
modern treatment methods for arsenic toxicity, emphasizing the use
of nutraceuticals and functional foods. With its focus on the
remediation of arsenic toxicity using nutraceutical and functional
food, the book provides a unique resource for combatting this
global scourge. It provides strategies for defending arsenic
toxicity naturally without causing any additional adverse effects.
