Arsenic Sample Clauses

Arsenic. Arsenic is a common groundwater contaminant in New Hampshire that occurs at unhealthy levels in well water in many areas of the state. Tests are available to determine whether arsenic is present at unsafe levels, and equipment is available to remove it from water. The buyer is encouraged to consult the New Hampshire department of environmental services private well testing recommendations (xxx.xxx.xx.xxx) to ensure a safe water supply if the subject property is served by a private well.

Arsenic. Arsenic is widely present in nature. It is a toxic metalloid. Arsenic is more toxic when it is in inorganic forms. It has been used for pest control, wood preservation, etc. In the environment, atmosphere, water and soil can be contaminated through industrial uses. (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2009). Food and seafood can naturally contain organic arsenic (nontoxic form), however, the inorganic form can accumulate in foods through the arsenic containing soil and water. Children eat and drink more than adults per body weight. Hence, when they consume arsenic contaminated foods and water, resulting in more arsenic per uptake. (Dartmouth, 2018). The geographical location of the southern region of Thailand has established differences in people’s occupations. The occupation that distinguishes the south from other regions in the country is the industrial fishing business. This type of business and related business activities involve lead, cadmium, and arsenic in their operations. Hence, they are a primary source of lead, cadmium, arsenic exposure in workers and people who live in the community. When occupational exposures are combined with other factors such as hygiene and sanitation, infrastructure status, environmental factors such as water source, parental education, socioeconomic status, and diet, the magnitude of the contamination of the community people can be quite large especially for children. Previous reports have identified low- and middle- income countries as ones with higher prevalence of exposures to heavy metals and metalloids (HMM). (Järup, 2003, p. 167). Another environmental setting in this region that is interesting to assess lead, cadmium, and arsenic contamination is the area that is close to the limestone mountains, however it does not have exposure from commercial fishing activities. Ban Tub Lamu is a small, coastal community with high fishing and tourism activities located in Phang-Nga province in southern Thailand. Approximately 2,596 people (1,833 households) currently reside in this community. Geographically, the fishing community is located by the Andaman sea coast and ocean wind constantly passes through this area. Seasonally during monsoon season (June and September), tropical storms and rain commonly occur in this area. The geographical and seasonal factors may affect the contamination exposure and concentration level of the heavy metals. (Xxxx Xxx, et al., 2014) Most of the people living in this area work in the local commercia...

Arsenic. Arsenic is a naturally occurring HMM. It is widely distributed in the earth’s crust. The EPA has ranked inorganic arsenic as a human carcinogen. Through ingestion, accumulated arsenic causes skin cancer. (ATSDR, 1999). Arsenic can cross the placenta, hence infants can be exposed to it through pregnancy, which can affect infant growth and development and cause health issues later on. (Dartmouth n.d.). According to the Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry (ATSDR), arsenic has a biological half-life of 10 hours (Xxxxxxx, 2007). Long-term uptake of large quantities of arsenic contaminated drinking water may cause skin conditions, skin cancer, and lung cancer. The health effects that arsenic can cause are lower IQ, impaired brain development, growth problems, breathing problems, an unhealthy immune system, and cancer as an adult. The systems that can be affected by arsenic dermal (skin), gastrointestinal (digestive), hepatic (liver), neurological (nervous system), respiratory. (Lenntech, n.d.). Biomonitoring is the assessment of human exposure to environmental chemicals by measuring the chemicals, their metabolites or reaction products in human specimens such as blood or urine. A metabolite is a chemical alteration of the original compound produced by body tissues. Blood, serum, and urine levels reflect the amount of the chemical that gets into the body irrespective of routes of exposure. The measurement of an environmental chemical in a person’s blood or urine is a measure of exposure. The amount of chemicals that enter the body though ingestion, inhalation, and dermal absorption and the chemicals’ metabolite transformation and elimination mechanisms determine the amount of chemicals in blood, serum, and urine, however the concentration level of the chemical does not determine the exposure source or route. (CDC, 2019). A level measured in a biological matrix does not necessarily reflect the disease and requires separate studies. (CDC, 2019)

Arsenic. Employees who cannot continue at their present job because of high inorganic arsenic levels in their systems will be given other work within the plant with no loss of earnings. It is understood that the transfer to other work is only temporary and that when the arsenic level in system returns to an acceptable level, the employee will be given an opportunity to return to former job. If chooses not to return, the Employer will attempt to accommodate the employee with choice of work for any position which is available and for which is qualified. In such a case the employee shall receive the rate of pay for the classification of the available position. If no position is available the Employer may layoff the employee. If the laboratory cannot differentiate between organic and inorganic arsenic with accuracy, then the total arsenic level will be used. If however, the laboratory is able to differentiate with accuracy organic and inorganic arsenic, then the result for inorganic arsenic will be used. The Laboratory used shall be one which is accredited. The acceptable level shall be that recommended by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienist on arsenic. Earnings shall be averaged over the past three (3) months. The Employer shall provide safe potable water at the worksite at no cost to the employees.

Arsenic. Section 19(e)(i) of the Original Agreement is amended to add the following to the end thereof: “Seller agrees, at Seller’s expense, to remove all of the remaining arsenic from the soil in the Property by scraping all of the soil containing arsenic from the Property in accordance with applicable law and transporting the contaminated soil to a site located outside of the Property (the “Arsenic Remediation”). In the event that the Arsenic Remediation is not completed prior to the applicable Closing, then the obligation to complete the Arsenic Remediation shall survive each such Closing.”
