Arsenic - a carcinogen and poison the natural origin found in the groundwater, which is closely associated with the occurrence of type II diabetes in adults, according to U.S. scientists. In natural waters, arsenic from springs, surface arsenic mineralization, as well as zones of oxidation species polymetallic copper-cobalt and tungsten grades. A certain amount of arsenic derived from the soil and from the decomposition of plants and animals. Arsenic has no taste, odor and easily soluble in water. Dr. Ana Navas-Acien and colleagues from the University of Baltimore claim that between the normal level of arsenic in urine and the incidence of type II diabetes are closely linked. Scientists say there is no safe amount of arsenic in the human body. The problem of arsenic is widespread throughout the world, as well as due to lack of drinking water, there is a need for additional resources, which often act groundwater with arsenic. This substance increases the risk of cancers of the bladder, lung, kidney, skin, prostate, and possibly, Ana Navas-Acien. The study involved 800 people, of whom 20% the level of arsenic in urine was 16.5 mg per liter, which is increasing the risk of type II diabetes, 3.6 times for specialists. 26% was higher than the arsenic content in those people who suffer from type II diabetes, compared with those who did not suffer from this disease. According scientists blocked arsenic penetration of insulin in the cells that ultimately the cause of diabetes. U.S. Government exceeded a limit of arsenic for drinking water, which is 10 mg per liter, but the standards clearly in agricultural areas, the wells as a source of drinking water. The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Arsenic contaminated drinking water for millions of people in Bangladesh, in Central Europe, Chile, Argentina and the western United States, where the groundwater is the source of drinking water and contain a high concentration of arsenic, the researchers reported.
