Content: That
 
is
 
uncommon. How
 
does
 
arsenic
 
work
 
and
 
how
 
can
 
it
 
affect
 
my
 
health? High
 
doses
 
of
 
arsenic
 
can
 
be
 
deadly,
 
especially
 
in
 
a
 
short
 
period. While
 
long-term
 
exposure
 
to
 
low
 
levels
 
of
 
arsenic
 
will
 
not
 
cause
 
immediate
 
effects,
 
exposed
 
people
 
can
 
suffer
 
cancer
 
of
 
the
 
skin,
 
bladder,
 
liver,
 
lungs
 
and
 
kidneys. High
 
levels
 
of
 
arsenic
 
in
 
drinking
 
water
 
can
 
cause
 
the
 
skin
 
on
 
the
 
feet,
 
hands
 
and
 
torso
 
to
 
develop
 
sores
 
or
 
turn
 
color. Children
 
are
 
at
 
more
 
risk
 
of
 
exposure
 
because
 
they
 
put
 
objects
 
in
 
their
 
mouths,
 
eat
 
dirt
 
and
 
spend
 
more
 
time
 
outdoors. Inorganic
 
arsenic
 
is
 
a
 
cancer-causing
 
substance. 24/7
