**Title: Long-term Exposure and Risks of Inorganic Arsenic (As)****Introduction:**Inorganic arsenic (As), specifically non-carbon bonded arsenic, has been linked to various health risks, including skin disorders and increased risks for bladder and lung cancers.**Sources of Exposure:**Inorganic arsenic can be found in some drinking water supplies as well as foods such as rice and baby food.**Regulatory Standards:**To limit the risks, regulatory bodies such as the EPA have established maximum allowable levels of arsenic in public water supplies and food products.**Example Calculation:**In bottled water, the maximum allowable level of arsenic is 10 µg/L (micrograms per liter). **Problem Scenario:**What is the amount of As in micrograms (µg) for a bottle of water containing 528 g of water? **Hint for Calculation:**- Assume 1 mL of water weighs 1 g. Therefore, 528 g of water is approximately equal to 528 mL or 0.528 L.- Use the concentration of arsenic (10 µg/L) to find the total amount in the bottle.**Solution:**- Amount of As = concentration x volume- Amount of As = 10 µg/L x 0.528 L = 5.28 µg**Conclusion:**The bottle of water containing 528 g would therefore contain 5.28 µg of inorganic arsenic.**Note:**Always ensure precise measurements and calculations when dealing with contaminants such as inorganic arsenic to adhere to safety and health regulations.

Maximum allowance leve of As is 10 ppb.

Directions: Rearrange the jumbled letters inside the parenthesis, then fill in each blank with a correct answer. Relate each statement to scuba diving activities. Diving into deep water is another application of (1) (s'leByo) law. As the diver moves down to the bottom of the water, the (2) (respseru) increases. Increasing pressure leads to a decrease in (3) (lovemu), and the diver's blood begins to absorb the nitrogen gas. The opposite happens when the diver starts to rise again, and the nitrogen gas molecules begin to expand and return to its volume. If the diver makes a slow rise, the nitrogen gas (4) (lesmolecu) expand and return to normal without problems, but if it rises quickly, the diver's blood turns into foam and the same mess that occurs in the soda bottles causes the diver to bend and feel strong pain. In the worst case, this sudden drop in body pressure can instantly terminate the diver's (5) (ifel).
