Perhaps a safer subject to share today than my last, drowned creature. I realize I may be one of the few people who get super excited about rocks but perhaps people will find my realgar and orpiment specimens interesting. They, like the afforementioned defunct creature, are also very poisonous. #Minerals #Realgar #Orpiment #Toxic #Arsenic #Rocks
Yes, I handled arsenic compounds today when I finally opened up My Precious from a LOT of packaging wrap. Washed my hands very carefully several times. I had to persuade the vendor these 3 pieces I bought from him 3 years ago were very toxic and needed a lot of wrapping for me to take.
He likely was hired as a Tucson local to work at the show venue off Lester Avenue, part of the annual gem & mineral shows. Is Chinese and barely speaks any English. He certainly had little knowledge of the minerals he sold. Pretty sure he thought I was a crazy lady trying to pantomime my concern about touching these.
Anyway, just got some deep, clear acrylic boxes so I could unwrap and put these inside right away. So glad to know there had been little if any oxidation and light damage over the years. The bright yellow is orpiment and the dark orange to red crystals are Realgar. Woot!
Now I have to start getting serious about setting up my real camera with real macro lens to start photographing my collection more seriously.

Consumer Reports Tested 52 #Rice Products. These Had the Lowest #Arsenic Levels
Researchers detected inorganic arsenic in every rice product they tested, underscoring concerns first raised more than a decade ago.
Basmati and sushi rice had lower average inorganic arsenic levels than other rice types tested.
Rice absorbs more inorganic arsenic than other grains because it is typically grown in flooded fields, where the element is more readily taken up from soil and water.

Hello les ergonautes, est-ce qu'il existe une version du cavalier (https://ergol.org/installation/cavalier.pdf) avec toutes les layers de symboles visibles à un seul endroit ? (4 par touches)
De même pour Kanata+Arsenic en version vim-friendly, est-ce qu'un cavalier ISO existe ?

#Pollution à l’ #arsenic et au #plomb : des #écoles touchées, et des alertes ignorées
En avril une alerte a été déclenchée à #BagneauxsurLoing en #SeineetMarne en raison d’une pollution aux métaux lourds due à 2 usines, Keraglass https://www.keraglass.com/en/home et Corning https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corning_(entreprise) Des taux alarmants de plomb ont été mesurés dans l’école maternelle entre 2023 et 2025. En réalité, cela fait plus de15 ans que les signaux d’alerte se multiplient https://reporterre.net/Pollution-a-l-arsenic-et-au-plomb-des-ecoles-touchees-et-des-alertes-ignorees

#Humans in #Andes Appear to Have Evolved Strange #Genetic Ability
For thousands of years, humans living high in the Argentinian Andes have relied on #drinkingwater that would make most people deathly ill, naturally occurring #arsenic in volcanic bedrock leaches into the groundwater, contaminating water with levels of toxic metalloid that would pose serious health risks.
But for one group in north #Argentina #naturalselection may have provided an unusual genetic advantage.

Arsenic cycle (Biogeochemical cycle 🔄)
The arsenic cycle is the biogeochemical cycle of natural and anthropogenic exchanges of arsenic terms through the atmosphere, lithosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Although arsenic is naturally abundant in the Earth's crust, long-term exposure and high concentrations of arsenic can be detrimental to human health.

Arsenic was mined near my home at Devon great consols began refining arsenic in 1867 and was considered to be its largest producer in the 19th century. My suspected poison books are locked in a bag and I only handle them wearing specialist gloves.

50% sont contaminés à l' #antimoine D'autres au #cadmium.
-> les cosmétiques 'réservés aux professionnels' sont plus risqués. Les consommateurs les imaginent plus 'efficaces'.

"Our modelling estimates the clams are forming up to 30 tonnes of calcium carbonate daily in Lake Karāpiro alone.
[...]
The result? Impaired arsenic removal. Without stable calcium, flocs (clumps of particles) don’t form properly, letting arsenic slip through." -
