Immunotoxic Inorganic Arsenic Human Macrophages Constitute Targets for

Oxidase in Human Primary Macrophages Inorganic Arsenic Activates Reduced NADPH

Cryptic exposure to arsenic.

Arsenic is an odorless, colorless and tasteless element long linked with effects on the skin and viscera. Exposure to it may be cryptic. Although human intake can occur from four forms, elemental, inorganic (trivalent and pentavalent arsenic) and organic arsenic, the trivalent inorganic arsenicals constitute the major human hazard. Arsenic usually reaches the skin from occupational, therapeutic...

Inorganic Arsenic and Human Prostate Cancer

OBJECTIVE We critically evaluated the etiologic role of inorganic arsenic in human prostate cancer. DATA SOURCES We assessed data from relevant epidemiologic studies concerning environmental inorganic arsenic exposure. Whole animal studies were evaluated as were in vitro model systems of inorganic arsenic carcinogenesis in the prostate. DATA SYNTHESIS Multiple studies in humans reveal an as...

On-line Pre-Concentration and Separation of Inorganic Arsenic Based on Nano Platinum-Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes

On-line solid phase extraction (SPE) based on  nano adsorbent for pre-concentration of inorganic arsenic in water and waste water samples was developed prior to determine by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS). By hydride generation simulation system (HGSS), the  inorganic arsenic in liquid samples changed to hydride form and pass through nano platinum multi wall carbon n...
