The predominant route of arsenic exposure for the general population occurs through the food supply, with the exception of those exposed in the workspace and those exposed at isolated sites with high evnrionmental arsenic burdens (e.g., chemical disposal sites, smelting operations). It is estimated that in the United States the mean total arsenic intake from all food, excluding shellfish, is 30 migrograms/person/day. For many individuals, however, seafood is a significant source of dietary arsenic. Arsenic is present in seafood in an organic form that has very low toxicity.
