Californians increasingly at risk of arsenic poisoning as drought concentrates poison in groundwater

(NaturalNews) As California’s drought continues, there is more to people’s problems than browning lawns, challenging water conservation efforts and devastation to crops. The latest discovery to plague the parched state is the finding that groundwater – which many residents and farmers are now turning to in larger quantities – contains dangerous levels of the poison arsenic. Exposure to high levels of the poison has been linked to bladder, skin and lung cancers as well as causing birth defects and wreaking havoc on the central nervous system.
