Amusing - the Bush-bashers are reaching back to the miniscule difference between President Clinton’s take effect after he left office arsenic standard and the more reasonable older standard restored by President Bush.

However, arsenic compounds are found all over the place.
“Lead hydrogen arsenate was used well into the 20th century as an insecticide on fruit trees. Its use sometimes resulted in brain damage to those working the sprayers. In the last half century, monosodium methyl arsenate (MSMA) and disodium methyl arsenate (DSMA), a less toxic organic form of arsenic, has replaced lead arsenate’s role in agriculture.”
“Used in animal feed, particularly in the US as a method of disease prevention and growth stimulation. One example is roxarsone which was used by 69.8 and 73.9% of the broiler starter and growers between 1995 to 2000.”
“Chromated copper arsenate has long been used as a wood preservative against termites, fungus and bacteria. It gives a distinctive green color when the liquid is painted on wood. However, it is no longer legal for use in consumer wood products.”
A simple system is now in use in third world countries with high levels of arsenic and other heavy metals in their drinking water. First the water has two tablets added to it, whose ingredients bind with the metals, then the water is put through a sand filter that traps the metals. It uses no electricity and only costs $2/yr.
