Arsenic in Food

Arsenic

Notes

• The broadest way to divide the forms of arsenic[al compounds] is into these two categories:
  • Inorganic (I-As)
    • Most toxic
    • Established links to cancer
      • The International Argency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs program - which evaluates agents for carcinogenicity - has classified arsenic as an agent under group 1; per the FAQ definition of group 1, "[t]his category is used when there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans. In other words, there is convincing evidence that the agent causes cancer in humans."
  • Organic (i.e. any compound containing carbon-carbon/carbon-hydrogen bonds)
