“…In addition, informants reported headaches, breathing problems, leg pains, stomach problems, kidney and liver problems, eye irritation, body wounds, urinary tract infection, among others. There is the possibility of latency of some days or even 30 years, so that As can produce cutaneous manifestations (GONTIJO; BITTENCOURT, 2005).…”

A exposição ambiental ao Arsênio (As) vem aumentando ao longo do tempo, seja naturalmente ou por ação antrópica, este processo causa preocupação na população quanto aos riscos à saúde. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo elencar as informações científicas sobre a contaminação por arsênio na cidade de Santana-AP, por meio de revisão da literatura no Portal de Periódicos da Capes, Scielo, Google Acadêmico e base de dados PubMed. Foram identificados e analisados 10 trabalhos, sendo os únicos publicados na referida região com objeto de estudo a concentração de As. Após análise dos resultados, a concentração de As na água que a comunidade do Elesbão consome, apresentaram-se dentro dos parâmetros estabelecidos <10 µg/L-1. No entanto, a concentração no solo (50 mg.kg-1) e em cabelos (1,0 mg/kg) da referida população estavam acima do valor de referência. Isso é justificado pelo nível de As total identificado em peixes e camarões, ocasionando um possível processo de biomagnificação. Portanto, são necessários estudos que envolvam todas as variáveis possíveis de rota de contaminação pelo As na região foco do presente trabalho, uma vez que, as divergências de resultados geram dúvidas sobre o nível de contaminação. Assim, a presente revisão servirá como pressuposto para avaliação de publicações de outras regiões que sofreram ou sofrem ações antrópicas.

“…About 140 million people are poisoned annually by arsenic in their drinking water and estimates indicate that populations in Taiwan, Bangladesh and South America account for more than half of the global total. 36,41,[112][113][114] Artesian water in Bangladesh contains 300-4000 mg l -1 and agricultural workers exposed to intense heat are expected to consume up to 15-20 litres daily. 115 Skin lesions, blackfoot and increased cancer mortality are endemic in these areas.…”

“…124 The first indication that arsenic might be a cause of lung cancer was provided by Sir Thomas Legge in 1903, who noted that workers engaged in manufacture of sheep dip from white arsenic developed irritation of the upper bronchioles consistent with hyperkeratosis and pigmentation of the skin, and pulmonary adenocarcinoma. 113,131 Since then many cases of lung cancer have been reported following a variety of occupational and environmental situations including copper and gold smelting and people living close to derelict mines and in areas of arsenic-rich water . 24,[26][27][28]124 Implication of arsenic as a respiratory tract carcinogen is frequently complicated in occupational situations by co-exposure of workers to dusts containing silica, beryllium, cadmium, asbestos, copper, sulfur dioxide, etc., any of which is a potential cause of the lesions diagnosed.…”

“…Contamination through food depends on the levels of arsenic in water and soil to which these foods are exposed [6]. Inorganic arsenic compounds in water are highly toxic, while organic compounds, such as those in seafood, fruits, and vegetables, are less harmful to health (Table 1) [7][8][9]. Thus, the primary arsenic exposure is ingesting contaminated food or water.…”

Arsenic exposure is a significant public health issue, with harmful effects caused by its use in commercial products such as car batteries, pesticides, and herbicides. Arsenic has three main compounds: inorganic, organic, and arsine gas. Inorganic arsenic compounds in water are highly toxic. The daily intake of arsenic from food and beverages is between 20 and 300 mcg/day. Arsenic is known for its carcinogenic properties and is classified as a human carcinogen by different institutions. Exposure can lead to oxidative stress, DNA damage, and epigenetic deregulation, which can cause endocrine disorders, altered signal transduction pathways, and cell proliferation. In addition, arsenic can easily cross the placenta, making it a critical concern for maternal and fetal health. Exposure can lead to complications such as gestational diabetes, anemia, low birth weight, miscarriage, and congenital anomalies. Female babies are particularly vulnerable to the negative impact of arsenic exposure, with a higher risk of low weight for gestational age and congenital cardiac anomalies. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor and regulate the levels of arsenic in drinking water and food sources to prevent these adverse health outcomes. Further research is necessary to fully understand the impact of arsenic exposure on human health, especially during pregnancy and infancy, by implementing preventative measures and monitoring the levels of arsenic in the environment.
