Chronic Arsenic Exposure

Chronic arsenic exposure occurs when a person repeatedly ingests small amounts of arsenic over a long period, often through contaminated water, food, or environmental contact. Arsenic is a toxic element that can accumulate in the body, potentially leading to serious health issues such as skin changes, cancers (like skin and lung), cardiovascular problems, and neurological effects. The effects may develop gradually and remain hidden for years, making regular monitoring and reducing exposure essential. It's important to identify contaminated sources and minimize contact to prevent long-term health risks associated with arsenic.
