As a naturally occurring element, inorganic arsenic requires training due to a higher risk at industrial job sites. This course focuses on the primary routes of exposure, the symptoms of acute and chronic exposure, the OSHA permissible exposure limit and action level for inorganic arsenic and the two recommended exposure controls.

Mining. The pyrite is then processed to remove the iron, which is sold for a profit. The sulfur-bearing waste material that's left behind after the iron is taken out is then just discarded or piled up on the ground. Before mining, the sulfide materials naturally in the ground pose little threat to the environment.

INTRODUCTION. Arsenic is a metalloid element. Acute high-dose exposure to arsenic can cause severe systemic toxicity and death. Lower-dose chronic arsenic exposure can result in subacute toxicity that can include skin changes and skin cancer, peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular effects, peripheral vascular disease, hepatotoxicity, and other conditions .

Arsenic What is arsenic? Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that is widely distributed in the Earth's crust. It is found in water, air, food, and soil. There are two general forms of arsenic — organic and inorganic. Inorganic arsenic, which affects the drinking water of millions of people worldwide, has been shown to be a human carcinogen.

Ruston, WA. Located on the tide flats adjacent to Commencement Bay, the smelter received ores from Montana, Idaho, Alaska and the Philippines. By 1912 lead production had ended; the company converted the plant to a specialized "custom" copper smelter with a focus on inexpensive low-grade copper ores contaminated with arsenic.

Arsenic can be released into the environment as a byproduct of industrial activities, such as wood preservation, mining, and smelting. Some products manufactured with arsenic include pesticides, paints, dyes, metals, drugs, soaps, and semi-conductors. Arsenic compounds are usually white or colorless.
