Description

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element present in rocks, soils, water, sediments and biological tissues in the parts per billion to parts per million range. It is also present in fossil fuels such as crude oils, shale oils and coal, with concentrations varying largely with the geology of the source. Concentrations in refinery wastewaters are typically below detection levels (e.g., 10 ppb), but can range as high as several hundred ppb. Arsenic in the environment has both anthropogenic and natural sources, and certain anthropogenic sources have caused localized adverse effects on ecological systems and human health. Based on an extensive review of the literature, this monograph is intended to serve as a reference volume on the sources of arsenic in the environment, the chemistry and fate of arsenic compounds, biomedical effects, the toxicity of arsenic to aquatic and terrestrial species, wastewater treatment options, and regulatory standards for arsenic in the environment.
