Many deaths returned as due to, "alcoholic neuritis" "alcoholism," "locomotor ataxy," &c., were probably caused by arsenical poisoning.

Hot Potatoes in AF

Western society is at the brink of an atrial fibrillation (AF) explosion. Already AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia worldwide; in the US alone the estimated prevalence in 2010 was between 2.7 to 6.1 million, and this is expected to rise to between 5.6 and 12 million by 2050 [1].

Alkaline Reactivity of Arsenical Natrojarosite

Jarosites são compostos que podem sofrer substituições com vários elementos de importância ambiental (tais como As) durante a precipitação. Arsênico integrado na estrutura poderia influenciar a solubilidade da jarosita, potencialmente estabilizando a estrutura em uma ampla gama de condições que são toleradas pela jarosita pura. A reatividade álcali é caracterizada pela remoção de íons sulfato e...
