the occurrence of hyperpigmentatIon, keratosis, and skin cancer. A study
made in 1949-1959 indicated a higher proportion of deaths from cancer in the
arsenical region than in the rest of the province - 23.8% and 15.3%,.
59
respectively. The excess was due mainly to cancer of the respiratory and
digestive tracts in both men and women. The excess cancer was unrelated to
socioeconomic differences.
Experimental Animal Studies
This section presents examples of tests that illustrate oral, topical,
and parenteral administration of arsenicals to rats, mice, and fish. A number
of laboratory animal studies designed to test arsenic compounds for carcino-
genicity are not included here, for such reasons as inadequate numbers of test
animals, too short a test period, too low an exposure, and poor survival. To
our knowledge, no adequate animal studies have been omitted that would add sub-
stantially to the examples that follow.
In general, animal studies have not shown carcinogenicity for arsenic
compounds even when administered at near the maximally tolerated dosage for
long periods. Two notable exceptions are described first, and then several of
the negative studies.

In 1962, Halver reported the occurrence of hepatomas in trout fed a
synthetic diet containing Carbarsone at 480 mg/100 g of diet. The data were
395
reviewed by Kraybill and Shimkin; the original report is not readily avail-
able. Of 50 trout exposed to Carbarsone, five developed hepatomas. There
were no hepatomas in a large control group fed the synthetic diet without
Carbarsone. However, aflatoxin contamination of the diet may have been a
confounding variable.

More recently, Osswald and Goerttler reported that subcutaneous injec-
tions of sodium arsenate in pregnant Swiss mice caused a considerable increase
in the incidence of leukemia in both the mothers and their offspring. A
-301-
-------
0.0057o aqueous sodium arsenate solution was injected daily during pregnancy
for a total of 20 injections, each containing arsenic at 0.5 mg/kg. Some
groups of offspring from the arsenic-treated females were given an additional
20 subcutaneous injections of arsenic (0.5 mg/kg) at weekly intervals. Leuk-
emia occurred in 11 of 24 mothers (46%), 7 of 34 male offspring (21%), 6 of 37
female offspring (16%), and, in the offspring given the additional 20 injections, ,
17 or 41 males (41%) and 24 of 50 females (48%). Leukemia developed in only
3 of 35 male (9%) and in none of 20 female offspring of untreated cortrol mice.
Furthermore, 11 of 19 mice (58%) developed lymphoma after 20 weekly intravenous
injections of 0.5 mg each of arsenic as sodium arsenate.
Long-term studies of effects of arsanilic acid on chickens, pigs, and
240
rats were reported by Frost et al. No adverse effects were seen in the
chickens and pigs after 4 years of feeding, nor in pigs fed 0.01% arsanilic
acid for 3 generations. Male and female weanling rats from the F» generation
of a six-generation breeding study in which 0.01% and 0.05% arsanilic acid
was fed* were held on the 0.01% arsanilic acid diet or on the control diet for
116 weeks. The overall tumor incidence was the same in all groups, and
resembled the historical incidence of tumors in the colony, 35-45%. The signi-
ficance of these data lies in the fact that transplacental exposure to a
carcinogen followed by lifetime exposure to the same carcinogen is often the
most sensitive technique for detecting carcinogenicity of a substance, a
but this test was negative.
Boutwell a used female mice (Rockland and a specially bred strain highly
susceptible to skin tumors) in a test for cocarcinogenicity of potassium
arsenite, KAsOj. It was tested as an initiator, both orally by stomach tube
(a total of 2.4 mg in 5 days) and locally (a total of 1.2 mg in 8 applications
-302-
-------
during 5 days). This initiating treatment was followed by topical applica-
tion of croton oil twice a week for 18 weeks. He also tested potassium
arsenite as a promoter by daily applications (a total of 2.3 mg/week) after
a single 75->ug dose of dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA). The prolonged skin
applications of potassium arsenite were hyperkeratotic and ulcerogenic. Other
experiments were done to determine whether arsenic would increase the yield of
skin cancers caused by suboptimal regimen of DMBA plus croton oil either when
given at the time of DMBA initiation or during the 24-week period of croton
oil promotion. Under the latter condition, the mice were fed potassium arsenite
at 169 rag/kg of food. This dietary concentration of 169 ppm (as potassium
Vtrsenite) is very high compared with the 0.5 ppm usually found in the human
diet. In no case was there an effect of arsenite on skin carcinogenesis in these
experiments. Many tumors developed in the positive control mice beginning as
early as 6 weeks after treatment began.
41
Baroni, van Each, and Saffiotti carried out a similar study with male
and female Swiss mice, testing the oral effects of potassium arsenite (100 ppm
in drinking water) as an initiator with croton oil promotion and as a promoter
for DMBA and urethane initiation. Local skin applications of sodium arsenate
were tested as a promoter after initiation with DMBA or urethane. The
arsenicals had no effect on tumorigenesis; and only a very slight degree of
keratosis was observed.
494
Milner used 3 strains of mice that differed in susceptibility to the
induction of skin tumors by the application to the skin of methylcholanthrene-
impregnated paraffin, disks for 2-3 weeks. The treated site was transplanted
syngeneically and observed for 8 weeks for tumor formation. Arsenic trioxide
(100 ppm in drinking water) was administered either during methylcholanthrene
-303-
-------
exposure, to animals with transplanted skin, or both. Arsenic exposure pro-
duced a small increase in the yield of papillotnas in the low-susceptibility
strain, a small decrease in the high-susceptibility strain, and no effect in
the intermediate-susceptibility strain.
104
Byron et al. fed either sodium arsenite or sodium arsenate to Osborne-
Mendel rats in a 2-year study at dietary concentrations of 15-250 ppm for
arsenite and 30-400 ppm for arsenate. No carcinogenic activity of either
material was found. These investigators also did a 2-year arsenic feeding
experiment on dogs, with negative results; however, this was an inadequate
observation period for studying carcinogenic responses in dogs.
Hueper and Payne incorporated arsenic trioxide in the drinking water
(either plain or with 12% ethanol) of groups of rats and mice. The initial
concentration of 4 mg/liter was increased by 2 mg/liter each month to a maximum
of 34 mg/liter at 15 montha. Thus, the daily intake of arsenic trioxide ranged
from 0.1 to 0.8 mg/rat. The administration of arsenic trioxide was continued
until 24 months. Neither the rats nor the mice developed any cancers in sus-
pected target organs - skin, lung, and liver.
Kanisawa and Schroeder and Schroeder et al. found no carcinogenic
effects on mice exposed from weaning to senescence to potassium arsenite at
5 ppm in drinking water or on rats on the same regimen.
395a
Kroes et al. studied the carcinogenicity of lead arsenate and sodium
arsenate with SPF-Wistar-derived male and female rats. In addition, some groups
were intubated with a subcarcinogenic dose of diethylnitrosamine to investIgate
for a possible synergistic action leading to lung tumors. Food intake and body
weights were recorded, and complete gross and microscopic examinations were made
on all animals. Lead arsenate that was incorporated in the diet at 1,850 ppm
-304-
-------
was toxic and caused increased mortality; an adenoma of the renal cortex and
a bile duct carcinoma were found in this group but no significance can be
attached to one or two tumors in any group. No cancer was associated with the
feeding of lead arsenate at 463 ppm or sodium arsenate at 416 ppra. No syner-
gism with the nitrosamines was observed. There was a high spontaneous tumor
incidence in this experiment. The test diets were fed to female rats from the
time of parturition until the young were weaned, and these young were the test
animals. Surviving rats were killed after 29 months of feeding.
As Fraumeni points out, it is largely because laboratory studies have not
succeeded in producing tumors in animals that arsenic has not been accepted
23 2a
universally as a carcinogen.

EVALUATION
Skin Cancer. There is evidence from clinical observations and occupa-
tional and population studies that inorganic arsenic is a skin carcinogen in
man. There is a characteristic sequence of skin effects of chronic exposure
to arsenic that involves hyperpigmentation initially, then hyperkeratosis
790
(keratosis), and finally skin cancer. This sequence has been observed under
a variety of circumstances involving chronic exposure: potassium
530
arsenite (Fowler's solution) was used medicinally, vineyard workers used
sprays and/or dusting powders containing arsenic compounds and drank
86U609
;, cneml
arsenic-contaminated wine, cnemlcal workers manufactured sodium arsenite for
572
use as a sheepdip, and residents of a southwest area of Taiwan had as their
only source of drinking water for over 45 years artesian wells contaminated by
714
arsenic from geologic deposits. The similarity of responses under these
diverse circumstances is important, because studies in human populations al-
ways involve variables that cannot be controlled as in laboratory experiments;
hence, the credibility of information derived from human studies depends on the
demonstration of comparable effects under different conditions, This require-
ment has been amply met with arsenic as a cause of skin cancer.
The earliest skin effect of chronic arsenic exposure, hyperpigmentation
(melanosis), occurs in a dappled pattern predominantly in unexposed areas.
After the onset of melanosis, the skin begins to atrophy patchily in hyperpig-
mented areas, with the formation of keratoses which are the pathognomonic
790
lesions of chronic arsenic exposure. Only a small proportion of the keratocjs
evolve into skin cancer, and this takes place only after very many years. The
sequence is illustrated by the Taiwan data -- the prevalence of melanosis,
keratosis, and skin cancer reaches 10% in the male, population roughly at ages
714
of 18, 30, and 60 years, respectively. Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic
-306-
-------
thus causes a slowly progressive form of patchy skin damage involving the
epidermis and adnexal structures, as well as the underlying dermis, with the
precancerous keratosea and cancers forming in the areas of chronic atrophy.
The chronic damage and tumorigenesis resulting from arsenic are similar to the
effects of ionizing and ultraviolet radiation on the skin.
Arsenical skin cancer is readily distinguished from skin cancer induced
by sunlight, in that it occurs predominantly on surfaces that are shielded
from sunlight and multiple lesions are much more common; for example, in 428
of the 429 cases of skin cancer studied in Taiwan, there was more than one
790
cancer.
Substantial doses of inorganic arsenic are required to produce an appreci-
able incidence of skin cancer. The average intake of persons treated with
Fowler's solution who developed skin cancer was around 20-30 g. The prevalence
of skin cancer in Taiwanese men exposed to drinking water containing arsenic
at 0.3-0.6 ppm was about 15% at age 60 and over. The normal incidence is 2-37».
On the basis of a 2-liter/day water intake for the period over which the
artesian wells were used (45 years), the total arsenic intake must have been
about 15 g, which is roughly in the same domain as that in clinical cases of
the use of Fowler's solution. Thus, the Taiwanese data that demonstrate the
requirement for large doses of arsenic to obtain even a modest yield of skin
cancer are consistent with the relatively low frequency of skin cancer in
patients treated with Fowler's solution. The low potency of inorganic arsenic
may explain why no skin effects have been reported in people treated for
syphilis with organic arsenicals, inasmuch as the total doses amounted to only
a few grams. However, it is also possible that the metabolism of the organic
arsenicals is sufficiently different to preclude the occurrence of skin cancer
and other forms of arsenical damage even at higher doses.
-307-
-------
The relative frequency of melanosis, keratosis, and skin cancer was
roughly similar in the Taiwanese population and the chemical workers who
manufactured sheepdip. On direct examination, the latter showed a 907«
prevalence of melanosis and a 30% prevalence of keratosis for a ratio of
melanosis to keratosis of 3:1. At comparable ages, the Taiwanese showed
a ratio of about 4:1. Two of the nine keratosis patients in the sheepdip
factory had already been treated for skin cancer, and the proportionality
between keratosis and skin cancer was about the same in Taiwan. As in the
Taiwan experience, the sheepdi.p chemical workers had been exposed to large
doses of inorganic arsenic (up to 1 g/year), but much of this was by inhalation.
It is possible that the trivalent and pentavalent forms of inorganic
arsenic produce the same effects on skin. This is of interest, particularly
in view of the different metabolic patterns of trivalent and pentavalent
inorganic arsenic, the former by interaction with sulfhydryl groups and the
latter by substituting for phosphate. The clinical use of Fowler's solution
and the manufacture of sodium arsenite as a sheepdip both involved exposure to
trivalent inorganic arsenic. The two categories of people developed similar skin
responses. The Rhodesian gold miners, in whom the incidence of typical
arsenical keratoses was very high, were exposed to arsenopyrite, in which the
arsenic becomes trivalent on weathering; the reactions of arsenopyrite in the
*-
body are unknown. The chemical form of arsenic in the Taiwanese artesian-well
water is also unknown; however, the reported occurrence of methane gas in the
*•
water could preclude the existence of arsenic in the pentavalent form.
Lung Cancer. Of the published reports on mortality from respiratory
AI 9
cancers in copper smelters, the most impressive is that of Lee and Fraumeni.
The study Involved a population of 8,047 white male smelter workers who were
*

-------
followed for 26 years; for each employee, information was available on time,
place, and duration of employment, maximal arsenic and sulfur dioxide exposures
was used
(descriptive, rather than numerical), and cause of death. The life-table method/
to evaluate age-specific mortality rates for the various causes of death, and
the rates were compared with those of the states in which the smelters were.
The number of deaths available for analysis was very substantial, 1,877. The
study demonstrated a systematic gradient for respiratory cancer according to the
magnitude and duration of exposure to both arsenic and sulfur dioxide. These
agents, however, were inseparably linked, because of the nature of the smelter
operations. The amount of excess cancer was impressive, with an eightfold
increase in the workers who had the heaviest arsenic exposure for the longest
duration, i.e., more than 15 years. The latent period — the interval between
first employment and death from respiratory cancer -- was extraordinarily long
and was inversely related to the magnitude of exposure: 34, 39, and 41 years
for the categories of heavy, medium, and light arsenic exposure. There are
deficiencies in the study, some of which were unavoidable. For example, no
indication was given of whether the study population was representative of the
total worker population; the exposure rankings were based on the maximal arsenic
concentrations, rather than weighted averages derived from work histories. No
quantitative data were available on exposure. No attempt was made to validate
the stated causes of death. No smoking histories were obtained. However, none
of these deficiencies could be seriously regarded as invalidating the conclusions
of the study.
The Kuratsune report dealt with a smaller study that compared lung-cancer
mortality rates calculated from the 22 deaths that occurred in a 30-year period
in a smelter town with the lung-cancer experience in the same period in a
398
neighboring city and in Japan as a whole. The standardized mortality rate for
-309-
-------
males in the smelter towns was four times higher than that for the rest of
the country, but equal to that for women. This fourfold excess is comparable
with the 3.3-fold excess observed in the Lee-Fraumeni study. Although many of
the men in the town worked in the refinery, a much higher proportion of the
heavily exposed to arsenic as
lung-cancer cases, compared with controls, occurred in men who were/smelter
operators. As in the case of the Lee-Fraumeni study, the latent period from
first exposure to the diagnosis of lung cancer was very long, ranging from
26 to 48 years. The duration of employment was also very long, with a median
of about 30 years, although two cases occurred in people who worked for only
2-3 years.
Two lung-cancer studies of the American Smelting and Refining Company
smelter have produced conflicting results. The 1963 Pinto and Bennett report
examined the proportional mortality from lung cancer in a total of 229 deaths
coo
in the period 1946-1960. This study dealt only with pensioners and workers
who died during their employment and did not include people who had left the
plant. The reported data showed that the 18 lung-cancer deaths in the plant
population as a whole indicated a rate that was higher than the rate in the state
of Washington. However, the excess lung cancer for the plant as a whole was due
to the high occurrence in controls, i.e., in workers who were considered not to
and Strong,
have arsenic exposure. Milham /by contrast, found, In the years 1950-1971, that
there were records of 39 deaths due to respiratory cancer in Pierce County (the
491
smelter locale) in people who were stated to have worked at the smelter.
Application of U.S. mortality rates to the published figures for the smelter
population at risk yielded an expected number of 18 respiratory-cancer deaths,
compared with the 39 deaths observed.
* 582
Pinto et al. recently resolved the discrepancy between the Pinto and Bennett
491
and Milham and Strong papers in a study of the same smelter that reevaluated
582
the exposure categories used in the Pinto and Bennett paper (which were
apparently in error) and also included a longer observation period and therefore more
Pinto, S. S. , V. Henderson, and P. Enterline. Mortality experience of arsenic:
exposed workers. Unpublished data.
-310-
-------
deaths. The data, shown in Table 6-2, include a total of 32-respiratory-cancer
cases and show a progressive increase in standardized mortality ratio with
increasing arsenic exposure. The arsenic-exposure index was calculated as a
weighted average based on urinary arsenic concentration and duration of
employment. It is of interest that the eightfold excess in respiratory cancer
for workers with the highest exposures and the threefold excess for all the
smelter workers reported by Pinto ejt al. were very close to the figures re-
412 398
ported by Lee and Fraumeni and Kuratsune.
The studies described here indicate that excess respiratory cancer occurs
in copper-smelter workers as a function of the magnitude and duration of
exposure to arsenic. with latent periods of three to four decades from
the time of initial exposure. However, the studies do not permit a resolution
of the issue of whether concomitant exposure to sulfur dioxide and other smelter
dusts is necessary for the carcinogenic response. Evidence from studies
involving entirely different circumstances of exposure -- including workers in
three pesticide manufacturing plants,317'550'Baetjer — *!•** vintners who
applied pesticides, ' and Rhodesian gold miners a -- suggests that sulfur
dioxide and other unspecified smelter dusts are not essential cofactors for
the respiratory carcinogenicity of arsenic. All the nonsmelter studies have
obvious limitations, but the lung-cancer excess in each study was relatively
large and, taken as a group, they provide significant evidence that arsenic is
a lung carcinogen.
The Hill-Faning study of 75 deaths in a sheepdip factory used the indirect
method of proportional mortality to evaluate the small group of 22 deaths from
cancer; seven of them were cancers of the respiratory tract, compared with an
expected 2.4 deaths. The Dow arsenic workers were evaluated in two ways:
first by an analysis comparing death records in terms of the 16.2% proportional
mortality from lung cancer (28 deaths) in 173 chemical-worker deaths, compared
with 5.77, for 1,809 control-case deaths; and then as a retrospective cohort

study the mortality from respiratory cancer (obtained from the records used
in the first approach) among 603 persons Identified as having worked in the
arsenic plant from 1940 to 1973 was compared with the mortality for the
corresponding U.S. white male population. The two approaches gave essentially
the same results, namely a threefold to fourfold excess. However, the
puzzling aspect of the data is that almost 60% of the respiratory-cancer deaths
were in people who had worked with arsenic for less than a year, three decades
earlier. Most of the arsenic workers were unskilled short-term employees, of
whom a large proportion left the company after a brief period of employment.
The follow-up study, however, dealt only with the people who remained in the
company. A confirmation of the excess lung cancer in a follow-up of short-term
arsenic workers who left the company would be very useful. Nevertheless, there
were about a dozen cases in people who worked longer than a year and who were
in the highest dose categories, where the excess risk was maximal, fourfold to
sixfold. It is possible that the apparent twofold excess in lung cancer in the
lower exposure categories, including those who worked with arsenic for less
than a year, would not be ascribable to arsenic, because there was no change in
cancer risk over a very wide range of total doses (42-1556 mg). Furthermore,
these low dose categories consisted predominantly of short-term unskilled
workers who as a group might have had higher exposures to other hazardous
chemicals than the controls.
The Allied Chemical Company pesticide manufacturing operations produced
a range of products, including some arsenical compounds. A preliminary study
of the proportional mortality among retired employees showed a sevenfold excess
of lung cancer that accounted for about 40% of all deaths (A. M. Baetjer, personal
communication).
Both the Dow and Allied studies also showed a few excess deaths from lymphoma
and Hodgkin's disease. The results of a more detailed study of the Allied
Chemical Company that is now in progress will be very useful.

Arsenic sprays and dusts were widely used in Germany between 1925 and
1942, at which time they were banned. ' Vineyard workers also drank wine
containing arsenic. Hundreds of workers developed acute and chronic arsenic
poisoning. In the 1950's, vineyard workers with lung cancer began to appear
in hospitals serving the vineyard regions. An association between arsenic and
lung cancer is further suggested by the high proportion of vineyard workers
with lung cancer who had the characteristic hyperpigmentation and keratoses
associated with chronic arsenic exposure.
The same high degree of association of skin arsenism and lung cancer
occurred in Rhodesian gold miners who were heavily exposed to arsenopyrite
dust. In the period 1957-1963, the occurrence of 37 cases of lung cancer
in gold miners represented an incidence of 206/100,000, compared with 34/100,000
for adult males in the Gwanda region of Rhodesia. This represents a sixfold
difference in lung cancer in miners.
The probability of death from lung cancer in persons with keratosis shown
in Table 6-6 ranges from 32 to 56%, which is roughly 5-10 times higher than
might be expected.

The data suggest that there is a very high risk of lung cancer when
the exposure to inorganic arsenic dust is high enough to cause keratoses.
Liver Cancer. The only evidence that arsenic is a. liver carcinogen comes
from German vintners. Thirteen of the 27 persons whose autopsies were reported
609
by Roth had cirrhosis, and three had angiosarcoma, a rare form of liver cancer
associated with exposure to a vinyl chemical and Thorotrast. Only two cases of
angiosarcoma have been reported in people treated with Fowler's solution.
There is no evidence of either cirrhosis or liver damage in any of the
other studies on arsenic. It is possible that the combined effect of a high
alcohol intake and arsenic is responsible for the unusual forms of cirrhosis and
liver cancer observed in vintners. It should also be pointed out that the
chemical form of arsenic in wine is unknown.

Experimentally Induced Cancer. The fact that there is no established
method for producing cancer by treatment with any form of arsenic in an animal
model system remains an enigma. One must conclude either that arsenic is not
a carcinogen or that particular circumstances not yet achieved are essential
to demonstrate a role for arsenic in experimental carcinogenesis. A conclusion
that carcinogenesis by arsenic is restricted to humans (or cows, horses, and
1 ft 1 a
deer ) is highly suspect. Therefore, much effort should be spent In attempt-
ing to find conditions in which the presence or absence of arsenic determines
the appearance or nonappearance of cancer in an animal model. Some questions
need to be explored (their answers may account for the variable incidence of
human cancer associated with arsenic exposure):
• Potassium arsenite, arsenic trioxlde, and possibly other compounds of
arsenic appear to have an unusual propensity to alter epithelial morphology
(at least in humans), often acting as irritants and causing hyperplasia, as
well as hyperkeratosis. Thus, appropriate forms of arsenic should be tested
with known lung carcinogens for synergistic action. Possibilities include the
ferric oxide-benzopyrene model in the hamster developed by Saffiotti et al.
and the sulfur dioxide-benzopyrene inhalation model of Kuschner and Laskin.
Controls designed to test exposure to arsenicals alone should be included;
proper and long-term inhalation studies have not been done.
41 77a
Although both Barone et ajU and Boutwell based their tests in mouse
skin on a possible cocarcinogenic role for arsenic and found none, additional
experiments of this nature are reasonable.
Moreover, because morphologic changes in epithelial tissue are ascribed to
arsenic, and because vitamin A and some retinoids control normal epithelial
674a
morphology, it is appropriate to design experiments in which vitamin A
deficiency is induced in animals as a test system for arsenical carcinogenicity
(and cocarcinogenicity). In experimental animals, vitamin A deficiency
increases susceptibility to chemical carcinogenesis, and high
-316-
-------
dietary concentrations of retinoids have remarkable ability to prevent chemical
carcinogenesis in epithelial tissues, including skin, breast, and lung.
Again, because arsenicals alter epithelial morphology, the possibility that
the function of mucus-secreting cells or of the ciliated cells of the lung is
S76
interfered with by respirable particles bearing arsenic should be investigated.
Interference with mucus secretion or ciliary action would facilitate the action
of a carcinogen entering the lungs, such as tobacco smoke.
• Because compounds of arsenic and the heavy metals that may be associated with
them are enzyme poisons, it is possible that chronic exposure to abnormal amounts
of these substances partially poisons enzymes that inactivate carcinogens.
Model systems might be devised to test this possibility.
• The interaction of arsenic with some essential nutrients, such as sodium
selenite and potassium iodide, is known. This should be considered in designing
animal models.
, arsenite and sodium arsenate are

pathways. Biologic changes attributable to arsenic might be accentuated in
animals fed diets that are low in labile methyl groups.
• The administration of some carcinogens to pregnant females may result in
an unusually high Incidence or early development of cancer in the offspring.
549
Because one such test, by Osswald and Goerttler, resulted in an unusual
incidence of leukemia in mice, it is especially urgent to design appropriate
transplacental tests. Repetition of such a test is essential. The credibility
of the Osswald and Goerttler study is limited by their failure to give the
vehicle solution to the controls.
• Because of the failure of repeated tests in lower animals to show carcino-
genicity due to arsenicals, consideration should be given to the use of nonhuman
primates as test animals.
These are only a few examples of approaches to the problem of ascertaining
whether an animal model may be devised to account for the association of human
cancer with exposure to arsenic.

CHAPTER 7
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
CHEMISTRY
The compound of arsenic produced in largest quantity is arsenic trioxide,
As 0~. It is a byproduct of the copper smelting industry. Arsenic exhibits
oxidation states of III and V and forms a great variety of inorganic and
organic compounds. In addition to arsenic trioxide, some widely encountered
inorganic compounds are arsenic pentoxide, As^O-; arsenous acid, H^AsOoj
arsenic acid, H~AsO, ; tetraarsenic tetrasulfide (realgar), As,S, ; arsenic tri-
sulfide (orpiment), As.S,; and arsenic pentasulfide, As^S,-. Some of the more
common organic compounds are methylarsonic acid, CILAs(O)(OH)„; dimethylarsinic
acid, (CH3)2As(0)(OH); methyldihydroxyarsine, CH As(OH>2; dimethylhydroxyarsine,
(CH3)2AsOH; trimethylarsine, (CHO-jAs; and trimethylarsine oxide, (CH3)3AsO.
Some aromatic arsenic derivatives with veterinary and medicinal uses are
4-aminophenylarsonic acid, 3-nit:ro-4-hydroxylphenylarsonic acid, 4-nitro-
phenylarsonic acid, and 3~nitro-4-ureidophenylarsonic acid.
Cationic species of As(III) are probably not present in aqueous solution.
Arsenous acid likely exists as As(OH)3> The fact that the hydroxides of iron(II),
iron(III), chromium(III), and aluminum strongly adsorb or form insoluble pre-
cipitates with arsenites and araenates is important in the control of arsenic
pollution. The ability of various molds and bacteria to convert arsenic com-
pounds to various methylated arsines is well known. Because the methylated
arsines are sparingly soluble in water, volatile, and sensitive to air, they are
returned to the environment as methylarsonates, dimethylarsinates, and tri-
methylarsine oxide. Arsenic-sulfur bonds are less subject to hydrolysis than
arsenic-oxygen bonds, and the formation of arsenic-sulfur bonds with sulfur-
containing biologic molecules is considered to be of great importance.
-318-
-------
DISTRIBUTION
Arsenic is ubiquitous in the environment and is found in all living
organisms. Natural sources include a variety of sulfur-containing minerals
of which arsenopyrite is the most common. The amounts of arsenic in soil and
water depend largely on the geologic inputs from mineral weathering processes,
whereas the amounts in indigenous plants and animals reflect species differ-
ences. Some species of marine plants, such as algae and seaweed, and marine
organisms, such as crustaceans and some fish, often contain naturally high con-
centrations of arsenic.
Manmade sources of arsenic are generally byproducts of the smelting of
nonferrous metal ores, primarily copper and to a lesser degree lead, zinc, and
gold. In the United States, the sole producer and refiner of arsenic trioxide
is the copper smelter of the American Smelting and Refining Company in Tacoma,
Washington. Major imports of arsenic come from Sweden, the world's leading
producer.
-319-
-------
The largest use of arsenic is in the production of agricultural pesticides,
under the categories of herbicides, insecticides, desiccants, wood preserva-
tives, and feed additives. Arsenic trioxide was the raw material for the older
inorganic pesticides, including lead arsenate, calcium arsenate> and sodium
arsenite. The newer major organic arsenical pesticides include two herbicides,
monosodium and disodium methanearsonate and cacodylic acid, and four feed
additives in current use are
substituted phenylarsonic acids. Arsenic has several minor uses, primarily as
an additive in metallurgic applications, in glass production, as a catalyst in
several manufacturing processes, and in medicine. Arsenical drugs are still
used in treating tropical diseases, such as African sleeping sickness and
amoebic dysentery, and are used in veterinary medicine to treat parasitic dis-
eases, such as heartworm (filariasis) in dogs and blackhead in turkeys and
chickens.
The major arsenic residues resulting from use of agricultural pesticides
and fertilizers are found in soils and to a lesser degree in plants and animals
living on contaminated soils. The highest pesticide residues occur primarily
in orchard soils that received large applications of lead arsenate. Large
accumulations of arsenic also occur in soils around smelters. Two important
closely related effects measurable in plants are arsenic residues and phyto-
toxicity. Some soils that received massive applications of arsenate are cur-
rently incapable of supporting plant growth.
Arsenic in air has three major sources: smelting of metals, burning of
coal, and use of arsenical pesticides. Two known acute incidents of arsenic
pollution from smelters have occurred in the United States. The most serious
-320-
-------
air pollution problem, however, is associated with manufacturing processes and
occupational hazards to workers. Some arsenic in water results from
industrial discharges. Several endemic poisonings of water supplies have been
reported.
Safe disposal of arsenic wastes still constitutes a major administrative
and technologic problem. The major sources of arsenical wastes are residues
in empty pesticide containers; surplus pesticides stored by government agencies,
manufacturers, state and municipal facilities, and users; and soil contaminated
by extensive use of arsenical pesticides. Recommended procedures for manage-
ment of arsenical wastes are recycling and reuse (preferred), long-term storage,
recovery of other metals and long-term storage of arsenic trioxide, and disposal
in landfill sites.
Several arsenic cycles have been proposed to interrelate the source, emis-
sion, movement, distribution, and sinks of various forms in the environment.
Arsenic is continuously cycling in the environment, owing to oxidation, reduc-
tion, and methylation reactions. Man's activities can alter the distribution
of arsenic in finite geographic areas or in selected components of the environ-
ment, but man has little control over the natural processes.
METABOLISM
Arsenic compounds must be in a mobile form in the soil solution in order
to be absorbed by plants. Except for locations around smelters or where the
natural arsenic content is high, the arsenic taken up is distributed throughout
the plant body in less than toxic amounts.
In nature, arsenic absorption by plants from the air is negligible. Al-
though smelter fumes and dusts may deposit on plant leaves, there is no evidence
that arsenic from this source is taken into plants.
-321-
-------
Translocation of arsenicals in plants is demonstrated by the fact that
arsenical solutions applied to foliage of some weeds results in the killing
of root tissue. Metabolic experiments with radiolabeled organic arsenic compounds
indicate that these compounds or metabolites thereof form complexes with some
plant constituents.
Bacteria and fungi can metabolize inorganic arsenic salts to form
methylated derivatives. Algae can biosynthesize complex organic arsenicals
that are associated with the lipid fraction of these microorganisms. Mollusks
and crustaceans can contain rather high concentrations of arsenic, but there
appears to be no relationship between their arsenic content and the collection
date or geographic location; this suggests that industrial pollution is not a
factor. Fish also can contain arsenic, which apparently is derived from their
diet. The arstnic that occurs naturally in seafood is metabolized quite
differently from inorganic arsenic. The form of arsenic in shrimp, for example,
is not retained by the human body and is rapidly excreted.
The rat has a unique arsenic metabolism that renders it unsuitable for
metabolic studies with arsenic compounds. This rodent stores arsenic in the
hemoglobin of its red cells, which release the arsenic only when they break
down. The resulting very slow excretion led to the belief that arsenic is a
cumulative poison. Trivalent sodium arsenite seems to be almost entirely
oxidized to pentavalent sodium arsenate in vivo. Evidence of the opposite
process - i.e., the in vivo reduction of arsenate to arsenite - is much less clear.
Arsenic in normal urine of man, dog, and cow is principally in
the methylated form. When the dog and cow are fed large doses of trivalent or
pentavalent inorganic arsenic, about half the arsenic appears in the urine as
methylated derivatives. This methylation process is true detoxicification,
-322-
-------
inasmuch as methylarsonates and dimethylarsinates are only one two-
hundredth as toxic as sodium arsenite.
EFFECTS ON ANIMALS AND PLANTS
A number of different factors can influence the toxicity of arsenicals,
including chemical form, physical form, the mode of administration, species,
and criterion of toxicity. There are several reports in the literature that
suggest that arsenic can exert biologic effects at concentrations below those
generally considered "safe," but the physiologic significance of such findings
is not known.
The trivalent forms of arsenic apparently exert their toxic effect chiefly
by reacting with the sulfhydryl groups of vital cellular enzymes. Pyruvate
dehydrogenase seems to be a particularly vulnerable site in metabolism, because
it contains the dithiol lipoic acid that is especially reactive with trivalent
arsenicals. The biochemical basis for the toxic action of pentavalent arsenic
compounds is known with less certainty, but such arsenicals may well compete
with phosphate in phosphorylation reactions to form unstable arsenyl esters that
spontaneously hydrolyze and thereby short-circuit energy-yielding bioenergetic
processes.
The use of phenylarsonic animal feed additives as recommended is beneficial
and does not constitute a human or animal health hazard. Animal losses and
excessive arsenical residues in poultry and pork tissues occur only when the
arsenicals are fed at excessive dosages for long periods. The mechanism of
action of phenylarsonic animal feed additives remains obscure, and these com-
pounds are for the most part absorbed and excreted without metabolic change.
-323-
-------
Toxicoses caused by the phenylarsonates are manifested by an entirely
different syndrome from those caused by the inorganic and aliphatic organic
arsenicals. The latter produce the typical signs and lesions usually asso-
ciated with arsenic poisoning, whereas the former are less toxic and produce
demyelination and gliosis of peripheral and cranial nerves.
Poisoning of forage-eating livestock by inorganic and aliphatic organic
arsenical compounds, especially those used as herbicides and defoliants, has
been reported. Most cases result from accidental or careless contamination
of forage that becomes accessible to livestock.
The large-scale use of arsenicals in the United States has caused some
scientists to suspect that the use of these compounds may have a deleterious
effect on wildlife. However, there is little evidence to confirm such suspi-
cions in the scientific literature. Wildlife kills that have been attributed
to arsenic compounds were all associated with misuse of the compounds in
question. But several laboratory studies have shown that wild species are
generally more sensitive to arsenic poisoning than many domestic species;
therefore, some ecologic vigilance is appropriate.
Most data on the effects of arsenicals on aquatic organisms, particularly
on fresh-water organisms, were collected in short-term, direct-lethality
studies. Practically nothing is known about the sublethal long-term effects
of arsenic, singly or in combination with other pollutants, on aquatic
organisms.
Although early workers were not able to demonstrate any adaptation in
animals to toxic concentrations of inorganic arsenic, some recent work suggests
that there may be a rather limited adaptive response to inorganic arsenicals
under some conditions.
-324-
-------
Abnormal physiologic responses have been noted in animals exposed to
arsenic trioxide aerosols at concentrations considerably below currently
accepted air quality standards. Unfortunately, these experiments were carried
out with the rat, which has a unique ability to accumulate arsenic and is
therefore a poor animal model for studying arsenic metabolism. It is difficult
to draw valid conclusions about the public health or environmental implications
of these investigations.
High concentrations of arsenicals have been shown to decrease the ability
of mice to resist viral infection, presumably by inhibiting interferon forma-
tion or action. However, low concentrations of arsenicals appear to enhance
the antiviral activity of interferon.
Arsenic is known to protect partially against the effects of selenium
poisoning over a wide variety of conditions. Arsenic decreases the toxicity
of selenium by enhancing its biliary excretion, thus clearing it from the liver,
the primary target organ in selenosis.
Preliminary results have suggested a role for arsenic as a nutritionally
essential trace element. Improved methodology in trace-element research - such
as the use of ultrapure water, highly refined diets, and plastic animal hous-
ing - apparently have enabled nutritionists to uncover a function for arsenic
in normal metabolism.
The biologic effects of arsenic compounds on microorganisms appear to be
mediated very much by the same mechanisms as in mammals. However, some micro-
organisms have a substantial ability to adapt to toxic concentrations of
arsenicals. This adaptation seems in most cases to be due to decreased perme-
ability of the microorganism to arsenic.
-325-
-------
Arsenicals clearly can be toxic to plants, but the biochemical basis
for such toxicity is less understood than that of the toxicity of arsenicals
to animals. As in animals, arsenates are generally less toxic to plants than
arsenites. One of the first symptoms of plant injury by sodium arsenite ia
wilting caused by loss of turgor, whereas the symptoms due to arsenate do not
involve rapid loss of turgor, at least through the early expression of
toxicity.
The phytotoxicity of organic arsenical herbicides is characterized by a
relatively slow kill; the first symptoms are usually chlorosis, cessation of
growth, and gradual browning followed by dehydration and death. Several
variables can influence the response, including stage of growth, senescence,
moisture availability, temperature, light intensity, and insect or mechanical
wounding of foliage before treatment.
Arsenic can interact with several plant nutrients in either soils or
nutrient solutions. Phosphate can increase or decrease the toxicity of arsen-
icals, depending on the experimental conditions. The toxicity in some species
grown on arsenic-contaminated soils could be reduced by foliar or soil applica-
tion of zinc or iron.
EFFECTS ON MAN
The past medicinal use of: inorganic arsenic preparations has provided the
basis for reasonably clear definition of the consequences of chronic systemic
arsenic exposure - specifically, characteristic hyperkeratosis and, less fre-
quently, irregularities in pigmentation, especially on the trunk. Association
of these features with other, less common disorders, such as arterial insuffi-
ciency and cancer, in exposed populations must be regarded as supportive
evidence of a causal function of arsenic. It should also be noted that many
-326-
-------
studies of populations "at risk" have failed to evaluate cutaneous changes
adequately. Proper examination of the skin of people subjected to chronic
low-dose arsenic exposure has the potential for providing valuable information
related to the dose and duration of exposure necessary to cause changes in
given populations. In a word, these benign skin lesions may be regarded as
sensitive indexes of exposure to an agent that has potentially serious con-
sequences.
The present generation of physicians has not used arsenic and has little
direct knowledge of its toxic manifestations. Thus, the "index of suspicion"
of the average practitioner may be relatively ineffective in diagnosing
isolated cases of arsenic toxicity.
There is also considerable reason to believe that, judiciously used,
arsenic may have therapeutic value. The time may be ripe to rediscover an old
remedy with modern analytic techniques.
Several occupational and nonoccupational episodes of arsenic toxicity
have occurred. Two of the best characterized and yet least known nonoccupa-
tional episodes occurred in Japan in 1955. One involved tainted powdered milk;
the other, contaminated soy sauce. In the former, 12,131 cases of infant
poisoning were recorded, with 130 deaths. Evidence of severe damage to health,
including retarded growth and brain dysfunction, was found in a follow-up study
15 years later.
Experimental teratogenic effects of arsenic compounds have been reported,
but none of the studies has been sufficiently exhaustive to allow accurate
assessment of the human hazard. For example, the doses that were administered
to achieve effects far exceeded likely environmental exposure, and accurate
»
no-effect doses were generally not determined.
-327-
-------
There is some evidence that arsenicals can be mutagenic in humans: an
increased incidence of chromosomal aberrations was observed in phyto-
hemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocyte cultures prepared from psoriasis patients
who had been previously treated with arsenic.
There is strong epidemiologic evidence that inorganic arsenic is a skin
and lung carcinogen in man. Skin cancer has occurred in association with
exposure to inorganic arsenic compounds in a variety of populations, including
patients treated with Fowler's solution, Taiwanese exposed to arsenic in
artesian well water, workers engaged in the manufacture of pesticides, and
vintners using arsenic as & pesticide. The Taiwan data demonstrated a gradient
of incidence with degree of exposure and age. All these populations had a
pathognomonic sequence of skin changes leading to cancer.
Lung cancer has been observed to be associated with inhalation exposure
to arsenic in copper smelters, workers in pesticide manufacturing plants,
Moselle vintners, and Rhodesian gold miners. Two of the three smelter studies
showed a gradient in the incidence of lung cancer with the degree of arsenic
exposure; one of these studies also suggested that sulfur dioxide may be a
carcinogenic cofactor for the lung.
Although hemangioendothelioma has been reported occasionally in people
who have been exposed to arsenic, the case for arsenic as a liver carcinogen
is not clear.
=328=
-------
The absence of a useful animal model is a serious handicap to the study of
arsenic as a skin carcinogen and is probably due to metabolic differences be-
tween humans and the animals tested so far. The failure to induce skin cancer
in test animals is perhaps not surprising, inasmuch as neither melanosis nor
keratosis has been duplicated in animals and these effects appear to be
inseparably linked to the tumorigenic action of arsenic in the skin of man.
The carcinogenicity of arsenic for the lung in animals has not yet been
evaluated by inhalation studies.
MEASUREMENT
The preparation of material for the determination of arsenic requires the
usual care to ensure that the portion of the sample submitted for analysis
truly represents the whole. Special hazards related to arsenic compounds are
the possible loss of arsenous oxide by volatilization and the rapid adsorption
of some arsenic compounds from solution onto the walls of storage vessels.
If total arsenic is to be measured in plant or animal tissue or in coal,
the sample is first wet-ashed with some combination of nitric, perchloric, and
sulfuric acids. Arsenic originally present in the sample at very low concentra-
tions must often be preconeentrated before it can be measured. If the sample
is a solution, the arsenic can be coprecipitated on metallic hydroxides or
precipitated with organic reagents. It can also be isolated from its original
matrix by liquid-liquid extraction or by volatilization as a trihalide or as
arsine.
-329-
-------
Until recently, total arsenic was usually determined colorimetrically,
by either the molybdenum blue method or the silver diethyldithiocarbamate
method. Arsenic is now usually determined by atomic absorption, with the
sample solution introduced into a flame as an aerosol or deposited as a
droplet inside a tube or on a metallic strip, which is then strongly heated.
Greater sensitivity has been achieved with atomic absorption, however, by
converting the arsenic to arsine and introducing this gas into a heated tube.
Equal sensitivity can be achieved by introducing the arsine into an arc in
helium and measuring the resulting spectral emission. Low detection limits
for arsenic can also be reached by neutron-activation analysis (often without
chemical treatment). Electrochemical methods, such as differential pulse
polarography, can achieve comparable sensitivity in the presence of natural
pollutants (e.g., sludge).
CONCLUSIONS
Environmental contamination with and human exposure to arsenic compounds
have resulted from incidents of air pollution from smelters, the improper use
of arsenical pesticides, and episodes of tainted food and drink. The degree of
arsenic air pollution due to amelter operations and pesticide use should decrease
and environmental
if currently proposed occupational/standards are promulgated. The technical and
economic feasibility of the changes in engineering controls or work practices
needed to achieve compliance with such standards, however, has yet to be
determined.
Although the total amount: of arsenic injected into the atmosphere in the
United States as a result of coal-burning is very large, the sources of such air
pollution are widely dispersed, and arsenic exposure due to fossil-fuel com-
bustion does not seem to constitute a health hazard. This contrasts with the
situation in some other countries (e.g., Czechoslovakia), where the arsenic
-330-
-------
content of coal is high and high ambient air concentrations of arsenic result
Although petroleum generally contains only small quantities of arsenic, oil
from shale can contain significant amounts; therefore, if use of this fo.<;nii
fuel becomes common, removal of arsenic from the oil and/or more careful
environmental monitoring of arsenic is indicated.
The food supply normally contains small amounts of arsenic, but these are
not considered harmful. Some seafood naturally has appreciable concentrations
of arsenic, but in such a form that it is rapidly and completely excreted by
humans after ingestion. Arsenic residues in foodstuffs due to arsenical pesti-
cide or feed additive use do not seem to warrant concern. There have been
isolated epidemics of food poisoning due to arsenic as a result of manufactur-
ing accidents, but they are rare.
Water supplies generally contain negligible quantities of arsenic, although
some cases of endemically poisoned waters have been reported. Industrial
effluents have been shown to contain arsenic, but the self-purifying tendency
of rivers and streams and improved quality of waste-water discharges should
help to minimize this problem.
The use of arsenical pesticides in food crops declined greatly after intro-
duction of the chlorinated hydrocarbon and organophosphorus chemicals. However,
as more and more restrictions are placed on the use of the latter two families
of compounds, the use of arsenical pesticides may once again assume importance.
If this occurs, more careful monitoring of arsenic in the environment and food
supply would be imperative.
Our greatest area of ignorance about arsenicals in the environment has to
do with the ecologic cycling of arsenic compounds. Little or no quantitative
information is available regarding the fate of arsenicals in the ecosphere, so
-331-
-------
it is not possible to state with certainty whether arsenic is building up in
any sector of the ecosystem. For example, organic arsenicals are widely used
as herbicides and desiccants, but we do not know whether such use will eventu-
ally render the soil phytotoxic, as has happened in some orchards in which lead
arsenate was heavily applied. More research is needed to investigate such
problems.
Suitable methods for arsenic determination are available for environmental
analysis. However, sample-handling may present difficulties because of losses
of arsenic compounds via sublimation, especially during air monitoring, and
analytic personnel should be alerted to this possible procedural pitfall.
Individual arsenic compounds can be determined only after isolation by
an appropriate method, such aa volatilization, paper chromatography, gas
chromatography, or electrophoresis.
When
the nature of the compound is known, the quantity present can be measured by
measuring the amount of arsenic present.
The continued concern about the association between inorganic arsenic
and cancer has raised questions regarding the implications of widespread
dispersion of inorganic arsenicals in the environment. Clearly, the ecologic
uncertainties about arsenic compounds deserve more effort and attention.
-332-

CHAPTER 8
RECOMMENDATIONS
Review of the scientific literature by the Subcommittee on Arsenic
identified several subjects on which additional information is needed. If
the following recommendations for research are successfully carried out, the
new knowledge thereby generated should allow a more accurate assessment of
the environmental impact of arsenic compounds.
1. Further epidemiologic and laboratory experimental research should be con-
ducted on the question of the possible carcinogenicity of arsenic.
The possible carcinogenicity of arsenic remains controversial, and it is
urged that more studies be done to settle this issue. A group of experts
should be convened to address this question specifically and to recommend
and oversee studies in man and experimental animals designed to resolve
the enigma. Experts in the following subjects should be on the working
group: pathology of cancer; epidemiology; statistics; chemistry, bio-
chemistry, and metabolism of arsenic; and experimental design (especially
as the last relates to the many possible confounding factors that may
modify carcinogenesis). Numerous opportunitities exist for additional
epidemiologic work, and follow-up studies should be performed on popula-
tions that have been inadvertently exposed to arsenic. The problem of
experimental arsenic cancer in laboratory animals also requires more effort,
and a series of studies designed as rationally as possible should be carried
out, to determine whether arsenic can be demonstrated to be a carcinogen
under experimentally controlled conditions. In such studies, careful
attention should be given to various experimental characteristics, such
as the species of animal, the dosage of arsenical administered, the nature
of arsenical tested, the duration of arsenical exposure, and the route of
exposure to the arsenical. Possible cocarclnogenic effects of arsenic
compounds with other chemicals should also be considered.
The term "arsenic" is used here as a general term for arsenic compounds.
-333-
-------
2. More research is required to clarify the effects of long-term low-dose
exposures to arsenic on man, domestic animals, wildlife, and aquatic.
organisms.
Recent studies using sensitive indicators of biochemical toxicity, such
as alterations in enzyme activity, or physiologic criteria of poisoning,
such as impaired reproductive performance, have suggested subtle changes
at exposures of arsenic that were previously thought to be innocuous.
How pertinent such results are to environmental problems is not certain,
but at least the preliminary experiments should be confirmed or refuted
and an attempt made to put such experiments into perspective.
3- Additional studies on the possible teratogenic and mutagenic effects of
arsenicals need to be carried out.
All experimental teratology studies that have been carried out with
arsenic compounds have used doses far in excess of those likely ever to be
encountered as a result of environmental contamination. Research with
more realistic doses should be encouraged, to evaluate whether arsenic in
the environment actually constitutes a teratogenic risk. Experiments carried
out with humans previously treated medically with arsenicals revealed
chromosomal abnormalities, which suggest a mutagenic potential for some
arsenic compounds. Again, however, the doses of arsenic given to patients
in the past were higher than any reasonable degree of environmental arstaic
exposure that one would expect. But the positive results argue strongly
for further work along these lines.
-334-
-------
4- Much more effort is required regarding the inhalation toxicology of
arsenic.
The physiologic significance of some of the experiments in this field
is open to debate, but the observation that biologic changes occur under
certain conditions apparently is not. Alterations in metabolic or
biochemical characteristics are observed at exposures that seem very low.
This work needs to be repeated, and any possible physiologic relevance
of these data needs to be pointed out.
5. Possible metabolic interrelationships of arsenic with other pollutants
should be explored.
Metabolic antagonisms between arsenic and some minerals suggest that
arsenic may have antagonistic or synergistic effects with other pollutants.
This illustrates the fact that environmental standards for pollutants can-
not be set in isolation, but should take into account possible interactions
among pollutants.
6. The use of the rat as an experimental animal in studies of arsenic meta-
bolism should be strongly discouraged.
The rat has a unique arsenic metabolism that is totally unlike that of
man or other mammals. Therefore, research conducted with rats is difficult
to apply to man; such research has led to many misinterpretations. One
such misconception is the idea that arsenic is retained in the body to the
same extent as heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium.
-335-
-------
7. More information about the chemical nature of arsenic in soil, water,
foodstuffs, and plant and animal tissues is desirable.
The behavior of arsenic in the food chain cannot be fully understood with-
out increased knowledge of the various chemical forms of arsenic.
The data are very incomplete, although it is clear that the naturally™
occurring arsenic in foods is metabolized quite differently from inorganic
arsenicals. The recent attempts to characterize the arsenolipids in marine
oils show what can be accooiplished in this direction, but more effort is
indicated, The forms of arsenic in foods have unknown toxicities and
environmental behavior. Further examination of their identity, toxielty,
and fate in the environment is needed, so that their significance to
both man and his environment can be assessed.
8. Better analytic techniques and sample-handling procedures for...arsenic
compounds need to be developed.
Most current analytic techniques for arsenic give values only for the total
amount of arsenic in the sample and do not characterize the various chemical
forms of arsenic present. Because the toxicity and ecologic behavior of:
arsenic depend strictly on its chemical forms, means to identify these izorms
are needed. Recent evidence also suggests that the equilibrium vapor
pressure of some arsenic compounds (e.g., arsenic trioxide) is great enough
for appreciable losses to occur as a result of sublimation when dust
particles are collected on high-volume air samplers. Sublimation losses
may also occur during sample storage or drying. Surveillance personnel
need to be alerted to these possible problems of analysis, and alternative
procedures may have to be worked out. Once acceptable methods for the
determination of arsenic compounds are established, routine monitoring of
arsenic in environmental samples should be undertaken.
-336-
-------
9. An economic assessment should be made of the possible effects that not
using arsenical pesticides would have on food and fiber production.
The organic arsenical pesticides play an important role in protecting crops
and livestock from damaging pests. Current usage is estimated at 15,000-
20,000 tons a year. Loss of these pesticides or major price adjustments
due to low availability of starting materials (arsenic trioxide) could have
a major economic impact on American agriculture. It is urgent to assess
the domestic and foreign consequences of the loss of these compounds.
10. Guidelines on the disposal of arsenical wastes should be developed.
Arsenic is an unavoidable byproduct of smelting operations. It must be
used, stored, or disposed of safely. For pesticides, the safe disposal
of containers is important. Slag from smelting operations, as well as
the arsenic trioxide that is collected, must be used or disposed of in an
acceptable manner. Perpetual storage should most likely be avoided.
11. Additional work is needed to elucidate^ the biochemical mechanisms res-
ponsible for arsenic poisoning.
Although the toxic effects of trivalent arsenicals are accounted for
reasonably well on the basis of their reactivity with sulfhydryl groups,
the mechanism of action of pentavalent arsenicals, both organic and
inorganic, is much less understood. Careful metabolic studies should be
carried out to determine whether pentavalent arsenicals are reduced to
trivalent arsenicals in vivo and, if so, to what extent.

12. Experiments should be carried out to establish whether animals can adapt
to the toxic effects of arsenic.
It seems to be well documented that microbial systems can adapt Lo toxic
concentrations of arsenic, although the precise molecular mechanism of
this effect is unknown. Recent results that indicate that mammals also
can adapt to arsenic to a limited extent should be followed up, and addi-
tional work along these lines should be encouraged.
13. The possible effect of arsenicals in decreasing the ability to resist
infection needs to be investigated further.
The mechanism of this effect of arsenic, inhibition of interferon forma-
tion or action, is of both theoretical and practical interest. If this
work can be verified and is found to hold true in other species, the
implications for public health could be considerable.
14. Arsenic should be studied as a possible nutritionally essential trace
element.
The occasional favorable effects of arsenic in animal metabolism suggest
that it may play a physiologic role at very low concentrations. Such a
role has recently been shown in experiments using modern techniques in
trace element research, but these studies need to be verified and expanded.
-338-
-------
15. The mechanism of action of arsnical "growth-promoting" agents should be
studied.
Although many theories have been advanced in an attempt to explain the
growth-promoting effect of organic pentavalent arsenicals, none of these
hypotheses seems totally satisfactory. If these compounds are to be con-
tinued in use, a better understanding of their mode of action might allow
the design of equally active yet less toxic compounds.
16. Studies on environmental characteristics that can affect the redistri-
bution of arsenic within the ecosystem should be undertaken.
Environmental conditions can seriously affect the toxicity of arsenical
residues in soils. Dissipation of applied arsenicals is subject to
changes in rate and is a function of the environment and the arsenical.
Information is needed on how these dissipation rates can be changed to
prevent the buildup of toxic residues.
17. An estimate of annual arsenic usage in agriculture is needed.
The exact annual production, distribution, imports, exports, and inven-
tories of arsenical pesticides is unknown. Furthermore, it is impossible
with current estimates to predict market trends as influenced by shortages
in petroleum-based feedstocks, development of new pesticides, or any other
economic change. Consequently, the short- or long-term environmental
impact of continued arsenic usage on agricultural production cannot be
determined.

APPENDIX C
DETERMINING TRACES OF ARSENIC IN NATURAL MATERIALS
This discussion is intended primarily for the consumer of analytic
information, i.e., for the physician, biologist, or ecologist who collects
and selects samples and wishes to obtain the most useful information from
them. The principal paths by which arsenic can be accidentally added to or
lost from the system are mentioned, and the advantages and disadvantages of
the more commonly used analytic techniques are pointed out, so that the
investigator can choose among the available services and critically evaluate
the results. The general approach is that followed in the recent review by
699
Talmi and Feldman, although new material has been added and some of the
less accessible techniques omitted.
COLLECTION, SUBDIVISION AND STORAGE OF SAMPLES
The sample collected should be large enough to represent the material
studied. Because a single mean value is desired for the concentration of each
arsenical species of interest, the sample must be homogenized and a subsample
of suitable size for analysis must be taken. To minimize contamination, unused
sample material should be stored in closed containers or (depending on sample
composition) at a low temperature.
Choices must sometimes be made regarding what to include in the sample
taken for analysis. Vegetation may be found to be contaminated with dust; a
decision must be made whether to remove the dust or include it in the sample.
Natural waters often contain suspended matter, which must either be filtered
out or allowed to remain. If the particles filtered from an air stream contain
volatile forms of arsenic, consideration must be given to the losses that may
-371-
-------
occur at the temperatures and air velocities to which the particles are
exposed on the filter and to the duration of exposure (arsenic trioxide has
a vapor pressure of 0.68 ran Hg at 200 C).
Many authors (e.g., Portman and Riley; Whitnack and Brophy; a Al-
lOa
Sibbai and Fogg; and C, Feldman, personal communication) have found that
acidic, neutral, or basic solutions of inorganic arsenites and arsenates can
be stored without substantial changes in concentration for several weeks.
However, some arsenic compounds present in natural waters are said to disappear
rapidly from solution after collection of the sample (R. S. Braman, personal
communication). The investigator must always be aware of the possibility of
losing some of the species of interest through adsorption on vessel walls or
on suspended matter or through volatilization.
Large liquid samples can be properly divided into aliquots only if homo-
genous, i.e., if the species of interest does not adhere to the vessel walls
and if suspended matter is uniformly distributed before division. Large solid
samples of a mineral nature may, of course, be subdivided by conventional
crushing or impact treatment followed by mixing and quartering or riffling.
Large samples of biologic tissues can be homogenized in a blender (with the
addition of water, if necessary). If the density of the resulting slurry can
be stabilized long enough, the sample can be subdivided in this manner.
Alternatively, the slurry can be centrifuged, and proportionate amounts of
residue and supernatant liquid taken for analysis. Another possibility is
lyophilization of the slurry; the cake obtained is easily pulverized, and the
215b
resulting powder is homogeneous. If volatile species are to be detert ined,
the lyophilization technique may not be appropriate. The amount of handling
must always be minimized in order to minimize contamination.
-372-
-------
PRETREATMENT AND DISSOLUTION OF SAMPLES
If organic arsenic compounds are to be determined, the species in
question must be isolated. ' a If total arsenic is to be determined, the
arsenic must be brought into solution and, if necessary, converted to
inorganic form. Regardless of the dissolution procedure used, care must be
taken to ensure that no arsenic is lost by the volatilization of trivalent
arsenic halides. Loss can usually be prevented by boiling the sample with
699
concentrated nitric acid under reflux early in the procedure.
The following sample preparation procedures are typical of those used in
environmental work.
Coal is heated to fumes with concentrated sulfuric acid and treated with
successive small portions of concentrated nitric acid until degradation
essentially ceases. Destruction of the remaining nitrogenous compounds is
completed by snail additions of fuming concentrated perchloric acid. The
latter step is essential if the arsine generation-arc emission procedure is
84
to be used for the final determination step.
The arsenic in fly ash is usually assumed to exist as a surface coating.
All this arsenic can be dissolved with fuming sulfuric acid, as is shown by
comparison with analyses of the same material by neutron-activation analysis.
Refluxing such material in boiling water for 1 hr recovers only 13% of the
arsenic present (C. Feldman, personal communication). If the arsenic was
deposited from the vapor phase, it may have been thinly covered by other sub-
stances deposited later.
-373-
-------
Coal slag is a highly refractory glass and usually contains only small
amounts of arsenic. The arsenic that it does contain cannot be leached out
with ordinary acids. Treatment with hydrofluoric acid in the usual way would
be of dubious value -- on the one hand, this reagent may contain substantial
amounts of impurities; on the other, arsenic trifluoride and especially arsenic
pentafluoride are rather volatile, so both contamination and losses might
occur. Attack of the slag by fusion is open to similar objections.
Quartz can be attacked without metallic contamination by vapor-phase
793a
treatment with hydrofluoric acid arid nitric acid in a closed system. This
approach was therefore tried with slag, albeit with some misgivings regarding
the volatility of arsenic fluorides. No losses or contamination seem to have
occurred, however, inasmuch as the results obtained on fly ash agreed well with
215c
those obtained with neutron activation and sulfuric acid leaching.
Procedures for digesting plant or animal tissues for determining total
arsenic must completely convert the arsenic to inorganic form (preferably
arsenate) and must eliminate any substances that would interfere with the
particular procedure to be used in later determination. Only the more widely
used digestion methods will be mentioned here; others have been reviewed
699
elsewhere. Small samples) can be charred with concentrated sulfuric acid
127
and then subjected to repeated small additions of concentrated nitric acid
A 9^ K
or 30% or 50?0 hydrogen peroxide. In the latter case, trivalent arsenic
will be lost if chloride is present. Ordinary and fatty tissue weighing
up to 5 g can be safely wet-ashed in a volumetric flask by refluxing under a
short air condenser with appropriate mixtures of sulfuric, nitric, and
f\ -I c 1
perchloric acid, with potassium dichromate as a catalyst.
-374-
-------
PRECONCENTRATION OF ARSENIC SPECIES
To increase the sensitivity and accuracy of analysis, the arsenic-bearing
species is often isolated from its matrix and concentrated. The principal pre-
concentration procedures used are coprecipitation, liquid-liquid extraction,
and volatilization.
Coprecipitation with ferric hydroxide, Fe(OH)-, has long been known to
collect pentavalent arsenic quantitatively from solution at concentrations as
low as 2 ng/ml. c> The hydroxides of cerium and zirconium appear to be
C QO „
effective as ferris hydroxide in this regard. Thionalide can collect
as
arsenic efficiently from comparatively large amounts of seawater, but this
reagent apparently does not function well at low salt concentrations.
Trivalent arsenic can readily be extracted from 6N hydrochloric acid with
24 2a
mixtures of ketone and carbon tetrachloride. At lower acidities, (pH, 2-6),
it can be precipitated with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate and the pre-
515a
cipitate can be extracted. If the arsenic is originally present in the
pentavalent state, this fact can be turned to advantage: while the arsenic is
still pentavalent, other potentially interfering metals that are extracted
under the same conditions can be extracted and discarded. The arsenic can then
be reduced and extracted without the metals that would otherwise have accompanied
it.
Arsenic can also be separated from its matrix by volatilization, as arsine
(boiling point -55 C) or a substituted arsine. The necessary reduction can be
effected by using zinc and acid in the presence of stannous chloride or
, _,._, 219a,248a,456a ,, _, , ,
potassium iodide. The reducing agent most commonly used, however,
is sodium borohydride, NaBH, . The properties of this reagent can affect
analytic results, especially at low arsenic concentrations ( <. 1 ppm) , and will
-375-
-------
therefore be discussed briefly. Sodium borohydride is supplied commercially
in the form of 0.20- 0.25-g pellets or powder; the grade usually used for
analysis is the same as that used in preparative organic chemistry. The
quantity of this reagent commonly used per determination (0.25 g) often con-
tains 10-20 ng of arsenic; the amount varies from portion to portion.
This degree of contamination is of little consequence if the sample aliquot
used in the determination contains several hundred nanograms of arsenic. But
if it does not (e.g., in natural waters and small tissue specimens), both the
contamination and the variability of the blank are sources of error. The
kinetics of the reaction between sodium borohydride and arsenic, are an addi-
tional complicating factor: if a sodium borohydride pellet is dropped into an
arsenic-free acid solution, it produces a considerably higher blank arsenic
reading than if the same pellet is converted to a 1% solution before being added
to the acid solution. Moreover, this blank response diminishes with the age of
the solution. The fading of the blank response due to arsenic in the sodium
borohydride appears to result from the gradual adsorption of dissolved arsenic
onto suspended impurities in the reagent solution. The adsorbed arsenic is
apparently held so tightly that acidification fails to convert it to arsine.
The simplest way to avoid errors from this source is to use the analytic-grade
reagent, which is more expensive, but usually contains less than 0.5 ng of
arsenic per portion (C. Feldman, personal communication). The efficiency of
sodium borohydride in generating arsine can be impaired by the presence of
666a
other substances that react with sodium borohydride. This effect can be serious.
METHODS OF DETERMINATION OF TOTAL ARSENIC
Molecular-Absorption Spectrophotometry
Molecular absorption spectrophotometry in aqueous solution has long been
one of the most reliable methods for determining small quantities of arsenic.
-376-
-------
Because of Its simplicity and low cost, it will probably continue to be widely
used for all but the lowest concentrations. Arsenomolybdic acid is formed
when arsenate reacts with acidified molybdate. This heteropoLyacid can be
partially reduced to give a blue color, which develops slowly (^/ 30 min) ,
CQf.
but is stable and free from interferences. The other color imetric method
in common use involves the bubbling of arsine through a 0.5% solution of the
silver salt of diethyldithiocarbamate in pyridine. An intense red color is
produced ; absorption is measured at 533 nra. '
Atomic Absorption
Atomic absorption (nebulized sample solution plus argon-hydrogen or air-
o £ CK
acetylene slot burner) is claimed to give sensitivities of 50-100 ng/ml.
In the flameless atomic-absorption method, a small volume of sample (1-50 pi)
is deposited in a graphite tube or on a tantalum strip. Strong heating
vaporizes the arsenic and reduces it to As°, which is then determined by atomic
absorption. The absolute and concentrational detection limits of this method
are good (40 pg and 10 ng/ml, respectively), but care is required in controlling
sample vaporization and in dealing with interferences. The arsenic can also
be introduced into a gas stream as arsine, with conversion to As by a flame
127 ^ftftr*
or a heated tube ' and detection by atomic absorption. Detection limits
can be reduced to 1.0 and 0.2 ng, respectively, for these two methods by
accumulating the arsine in a cold trap and releasing it quickly.
Atomic-Emission Spectroscopy
Arsenic can be determined by atomic -emission spectroscopy with various
types of excitation. For example, arsine can be accumulated in a cold trap
84
and then introduced into a d-c glow discharge in helium (Braman and Foreback
and C. Feldman, personal communication) , giving absolute and concentrational
-377-
-------
detection limits of 0.5 ng and 25 pg/ml, respectively. Other volatile forms
of arsenic (e.g., triphenylarsine), introduced into a microwave discharge in
argon, can give an absolute detection limit of 0.02 ng of arsenic. An
arsenic-bearing aerosol, introduced into an induction-coupled radiofrequency
plasma, gives a concentration1 detection limit of 40 ng of arsenic per milli-
liter.214a'388b
Neutron-Activation Analysis
Neutron-activation analysis has the advantages of being nondestructive
(in the many cases in which postirradiation radiochemical separations are not
necessary) and of being immune from any danger of contamination during post-
irradiation handling. Its absolute sensitivity is 0.1 ng for a thermal-neutron
12 2
flux of 10 neutrons/cm -s. in tissue and mineral samples, however, this
sensitivity can seldom be reached. The activity induced is the 559-keV photo-
peak of arsenic-76. A relatively great amount of sodium-24 activity is
induced in the sodium present in such samples, and, although the decay of
sodium-24 (half-life,14.96 hr) is faster than that of arsenic-76 (half-life,
26.5 hr), the sodium-24 activity must be allowed to decay for several days
before the arsenic-76 activity can be counted. This delay does not seriously
interfere with the determination of arsenic at concentrations above a few
parts per million, and the elimination of all chemical treatment of the sample
545a
compensates for the inconvenience. If greater sensitivity is needed or if
radiochemical interferences appear (e.g., bromine or antimony activities),
chemical-group separations can still be performed to isolate the arsenic-76
_, .. 315a,547
activity.
Electrochemical Methods
In the electrochemical methods that have been proposed for determining
traces of arsenic, the arsenic is usually first isolated by volatilization or
-378-
-------
extraction, then converted to the trivalent form and determined polarographi-
25a
cally. The most sensitive such technique is differential pulse polaro-
graphy, which has a detection limit of about 0.3 ng of arsenic per milliliter
and can be used in the presence of natural pollutants, such as unfiltered
, , 517a,549a
sludge.
Gas Chromatography
Total arsenic can be determined by gas chromatography if the arsenic is
first collected and converted to triphenylarsine. The collection-conversion
procedure is somewhat long, but the absolute limit of detection is quite low
(20 pg) when an atomic-emission detector is used.
Other Methods
There are other valid methods of determining traces of arsenic, such as
coulombmetry, x-ray fluorescence, atomic optical fluorescence, and
699
ordinary and isotope-dilution mass spectrometry.
METHODS OF DETERMINATION OF ARSENIC COMPOUNDS
Most of the analytic work on separating and identifying arsenic compounds
has been done with substituted arsines and substituted acids of arsenic (e.g.,
methylarsonic and dimethylarsinic). The compounds have been isolated with paper
chromatography, electrophoresis, volatilization, and (after silylation a
or conversion to the corresponding arsine or iodide a) gas chromatography.
A specific compound is identified by its retention characteristics, sometimes
in combination with a specific detector for arsenic. Among the detection
474 84
methods used have been autoradiography, arc emission, and microwave
emission. Absolute sensitivities have been in the picogram range.

16. ABSTRACT
This report is an in-depth study that attempts to assemble, organize, and
interpret present-day information on arsenic and its compounds, and the effects of
these substances on man, animals, and plants. Emphasis is given to the effects of
arsenic on man, conclusions are drawn from the evaluation of current knowledge on the
subject, and recommendations are made for further research. Although arsenic is
highly toxic in many of its forms, a number of factors suggest that it probably is not
a general pollution problem. In fact, there are indications that it may be an essentia
trace element. There is some evidence that arsenicals can be mutagenic in humans.
There is epidemiologic evidence that inorganic arsenic is a skin and lung carcinogen
in man. Skin cancer has occurred in association with exposure to inorganic arsenic
compounds in a variety of populations, including patients treated with Fowler's
solution, Taiwanese exposed to arsenic in artesian well water, workers engaged in the
manufacture of pesticides, and vintners using arsenic as a pesticide. Lung cancer has
been observed to be associated with inhalation exposure to arsenic in copper smelters,
workers in pesticide manufacturing plants, Moselle vintners, and Rhodesian gold
miners.
While much arsenic enters the atmosphere from the burning of coal, the
concentrations are too low to be a matter of concern.
