ARSENIC POLLUTION.edited.docx - Abstract Contamination of ...
Arsenic toxicity to the human body varies depending on arsenic forms. Inorganic arsenic compounds are more toxic than organoarsenicals and trivalent arsenite is more toxic than pentavalent arsenate. Arsenobetaine is the major arsenic that human beings cannot metabolize and it has negligible toxicity (Goldman, 2017).
What is the difference between organic and inorganic arsenic?
Atoms of arsenic can combine with atoms of other elements to form a variety of compounds. These can be divided into two categories, "inorganic" and "organic." In this case, the term "organic" is used in its proper chemical sense, referring to molecules that have a framework of carbon atoms. In an "organic" arsenic compound, the arsenic atom is attached to a carbon that may, for ...
