There is some evidence that long-term exposure to arsenic in children may result in lower IQ scores. There is also some evidence that exposure to arsenic in the womb and early childhood may increase mortality in young adults. There is some evidence that inhaled or ingested arsenic can injure pregnant women or their unborn babies, although the studies are not definitive. See similar questions...

In 1942, when a standard for arsenic was first established, the key health effects of ingesting arsenic were believed to be limited to skin cancer and black foot disease. Since that time, extensive research has been conducted around the world that links arsenic to a wide range of health effects including both cancer and non-cancer causing illnesses. The majority of the research on the topic has been performed outside of the U.S. See similar questions...

ALS -- amyotrophic lateral sclerosis -- is a progressive disease that primarily affects motor neurons, the nerve cells that connect the brain to muscles throughout the body. For reasons that remain unknown, the motor neurons of people with ALS degenerate and eventually die, causing the individual to lose the ability to control voluntary muscles. With some, the condition first weakens and disables muscles in the arms or legs; with others, symptoms first appear in the throat area. See similar questions...

Most arsenic enters water supplies either from natural deposits in the earth or from industrial and agricultural pollution. Arsenic is a natural element of the earth's crust. It is used in industry and agriculture, and for other purposes. It also is a byproduct of copper smelting, mining and coal burning. U.S. industries release thousands of pounds of arsenic into the environment every year. See similar questions...

Arsenic is a naturally occurring metal found in rocks and soil. It can be released into the environment through geological events, such as volcanic activity and erosion. Some industrial processes, such as mining, smelting and the production of paints, metals, soaps, dyes, drugs, semi-conductors and wood preservatives may also release arsenic into the environment. See similar questions...

Arsenic can combine with other elements to make chemicals used to preserve wood and to kill insects on cotton and other agricultural crops. See similar questions...

Dystonia can affect any part of the body including the arms and legs, trunk, neck, eyelids, face, or vocal cords.

Copper helps the body make hemoglobin, which is needed to carry oxygen in red blood cells. It serves as a part of many body enzymes and helps the body produce energy in the cells. It is important in the development of tissues in the bone, lung, and circulatory system. It helps maintain a healthy nervous system. Copper deficiency is rare but not unknown. It is sometimes caused by a lack of copper in the diet. It is more likely a result of genetic problems or from consuming too much zinc. See similar questions...

It is associated with gastrointestinal tract symptoms such as cramping or loose stools and studies show that Olestra does inhibit the absorption of fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). The FDA is requiring that further studies on the affects of Olestra on humans be conducted. See similar questions...

Biostimulation is an effect of light interacting with cells capable of causing your metabolism to increase. It acts on the cell membrane perviousness and the mitochondria, thus yielding products such as proteins (elastin, collagen), hormones (endorphins, serotonins), etc. For such a synthesis to occur, regularization of the extra cellular medium is necessary.
