Arsenic poisoning | Toxicology | Forensics | UGC NET forensic science

Arsenic is a grey-appearing chemical element (atomic number 33, symbol As in the periodic table) also termed a metalloid. Arsenic can exist in a metallic state in three forms (yellow, black, and gray; with gray predominating) and in ionic forms. Arsenic is considered to be a heavy metal, and arsenic toxicity shares some features with poisonings by other heavy metals.
Inorganic arsenic is metallic or a metalloid element that forms a number of poisonous compounds. In industry, it can be found in a gaseous form termed arsine gas that is very toxic when inhaled.
Organic arsenic is any compound that is made from a chemical combination of the element arsenic with any organic compound (compounds containing a large amount of carbon). These are often termed arsenical organic compounds. Most frequently organic arsenic is a component used in making insecticides and weed killers and other compounds
Long-term exposures to arsenic lower than toxic levels can lead to skin changes (darkening or discoloration, redness, swelling and hyperkeratosis (skin bumps that resemble corns or warts). Whitish lines (Mees' lines) may appear in the fingernails. Both sensory and motor nerve defects can develop. Additionally, liver and kidney function may be affected.

Adding images to the slides would be helpful...

means white....so it is hypopigmentation and not hyperpigmentation, white patchy areas are seen...melanosis is hyper pigmentation

[andleebnasrullahmir]

Your content was perfect but kindly insert pictures as well in your video, like you could have used a picture to show mees lines, rain drop pigmentation. Rest it was perfect.

[themist]

If arsenic causes leucomelanosis, can it be used for hyperpigmentation?

[ravikantsahoo]
