Description

Tests the presence of ions of Arsenic to a high degree of accuracy to detect contamination in water, the body and on a wide range of materials in your environment.

Suitable for: urine, water; to test the subtances which are not in solution, preparation can be made to convert them into solution for testing, this includes dust, dirt, paint, rice, milk, food, dishes, glasses

This non-invasive Arsenic Testing Kit helps detect harmful activities within the body through urine instead of blood.

Sources for Arsenic:

  • Arsenic is present in small amounts in soil and therefore is present in our food. It is also in the ocean, which transfers to seafood, especially the filtering mollusks, such as clams and oysters. Some arsenic may be present as a contaminant in meats as well.
  • Arsenic is also found in many fuel oils and coal, and hence it is added to the environment when these are burned. Weed killers and some insecticides (particularly lead-arsenate sprays) are the main sources of arsenic contamination. This is responsible for a twentyfold increase in the level of arsenic found in humans.

The UK maximum contaminant level for Arsenic in tap water set by DWI/DEFRA is 10µg/l (= 0.01mg/l).

Effects of Arsenic:

  • Toxis effects of arsenic contamination can be poisonous, ingestion of arsenic can be dangerous and lead to illness and in some cases be fatal. Possible effects of arsenic toxicity include hair loss, dermatitis, diarrhoea and other gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, headaches, confusion, muscle pains, red and white blood cell problems, neurologic symptoms, and liver and kidney damage. Acute arsenic exposure may cause a rapid series of symptoms. Arsine gas exposure is very toxic to the lungs and kidneys and is often fatal. Death from low-level, chronic arsenic exposure has the appearance of death from natural causes.

The Arsenic Test Kit contains an easy-to-read colourchart:

Sensitivity: 0, 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 ppm (mg/l)
