arsenicosis

Arsenicosis is a health condition caused by prolonged exposure to arsenic, a toxic chemical found in contaminated water, soil, and certain foods. It can result from drinking water with high arsenic levels, commonly seen in some regions of the world. Symptoms may include skin changes, respiratory issues, digestive problems, and increased risk of cancer. The severity of arsenicosis depends on the level and duration of exposure. Addressing this issue involves reducing arsenic exposure and improving water quality to protect public health. Awareness and preventive measures are crucial for communities at risk.
