In other areas of the world, such as Bangladesh, elevated arsenic levels in the drinking water are more acutely life threatening. People were encouraged to establish local wells to reduce exposure to drinking water contaminated with bacteria. 

Cases of poisoning by drinking water contaminated with arsenic have been reported.2...

Drinking water contamination with endocrine disruptors has become a serious concern. Arsenic, which is a worldwide drinking water contaminant, is a potent endocrine disruptor. 50,51 Organochlorine and other endocrine disrupting persistent organic polluting chemicals make their way into drinking water and raise questions about water potability in many areas. 28 ... 

Millions of people in rural areas of Bangladesh are being slowly poisoned as they drink water contaminated with small but potentially fatal quantities of arsenic. Estimates by the World Bank claim that from 18 to 50 million people out of a total population of about 120 million in the country are at risk. Thousands are already showing symptoms of poisoning. Nineteen rural districts covering an area of 500 km near the border of Bangladesh and India have arsenic-contaminated wells. Of the...

The major sources of exposure of domestic animals to arsenicals are ingestion of feed contaminated with As from industrial pollution or with residues of As-containing pesticides. Other potential sources of As exposure are drinking water contaminated with iAs or organoAs preparations used as... 

Arsine is highly volatile and there is little risk of direct residual contamination. However, potential persistent decomposition products include arsenic and arsenic oxides. Wash the remains with soap and water. Pay particular attention to areas where agent may get trapped, such as hair, scalp, pubic areas, fingernails, folds of skin, and wounds. If remains are heavily contaminated with residue, then wash and rinse waste should be contained for proper disposal. Once the remains have been thoroughly decontaminated, no further protective action is necessary. Body fluids removed during the embalming process do not pose any additional risks and should be contained and handled according to established procedures. Use standard burial procedures.
