Abstract

In this article, the arsenic levels in drinking water were investigated. Hair and nail arsenic is strongly related, however, according to principal component analysis (PCA). According to our findings, lactating women with hypertension higher levels. Arsenic levels in infants' blood, nails, and urine were examined, and the findings indicated a substantially high body burden of arsenic in regions. The hair and nail arsenic levels were shown to be age-dependent utilizing PCA. The methods for extracting arsenic from human milk samples are effective in both literatures. These results would help in the development of a faster and more efficient technique for removing arsenic from milk samples. Although the procedure will take longer than anticipated, it does not exceed 5-6 hours. Furthermore, such studies reveal the degree of arsenic exposure in individuals living in complicated settings. People are exposed to less arsenic as a result of this, which may lead to severe cases of chronic arsenic poisoning. Prenatal exposure to babies may possibly cause genetic abnormalities as well as physical and mental problems.
