Arsenic is a natural element\nfound by default throughout the environment. It is released by the\nvolcanoes, by the erosion of mineral deposits and by various processes\ncommercial and industrial, and can be found in foods such as chicken,\nmeats, rice, and especially in seafood, such as clams, oysters,\noysters, mussels, crabs, lobsters, seaweed, and in certain fish\ncold waters that feed on the seabed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the periodic table, arsenic is a chemical element that belongs to the group of metalloids. It is a carcinogenic agent that causes multiple negative effects on human health in the short and long term. Non-occupational human exposure to arsenic occurs mainly through contaminated water and food, and the regulations for its control vary for each country, based on the standards of the WHO, Codex Alimentarius and the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite its high toxicity,\nArsenic can be consumed daily without causing harm to the body with a\nmaximum of 12 to 15 micrograms in a daily diet of meat, fish,\nvegetables and cereals. By exceeding this measure, and being exposed daily to this\nelement itself can cause diseases such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Chile, regulations\nestablished after 1992 and the reduction of atmospheric emissions of\nSO2 and trace element rich particles were reduced by incorporating\nof technology to comply with new emission standards. However, the\nHistorical effects of arsenic remain latent in some soils of the country\ndespite current environmental regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news is that this\nelement can be treated by specialist companies in the management and\ntreatment of hazardous waste, such as Hidronor. Thanks to your work in pro\nof the environment, the impact of this type of waste on the\necosystem, generating a great contribution to the sustainability of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
