Arsenic is in pretty much everything we digest. If you work around dirt and dust you are also inhaling it. However, the biggest concern is inorganic arsenic found in food products treated with arsenic laced pesticides from other countries. All the more reason to buy and eat as local as you can get. What ever happen to just giving kids water to drink.
I drank water from the drinking fountain at school. Which probably had arsenic in it back in the 1960's/70's.
And most of those pipes were connected using lead solder.
It is amazing that we ever lived this long!!
