Arsenic Exposure (Hair)

Arsenic is a metal that is naturally occurring in the earth’s crust. In the environment, Arsenic can combine with Oxygen, Chlorine or Sulfur to form compounds that are inorganic. These compounds can be used in industrial processes such as making electronics. Seafood such as fish and shellfish may accumulate Arsenic; however most of this is the organic form of Arsenic and is relatively non-toxic.
