After the EPA mistakenly released more than 50 toxins in a Colorado river they released their list of benefits of arsenic in the environment.The list of health and behavioral benefits is surprising.
Because the spread of arsenics was so wide that the EPA's study was able to cover many different health and lifestyles and found the following benefits directly from living with arsenic.
Death from gunshots and other violent crimes dropped
Death from lung and colon cancer has been cut in half.
Suicide rates have dropped among the military war veterans
Drug overdoses are down.
A dramatic drop in fatal car accidents.
Although these drops considered more than accurate, are cause for celebration, the EPA has conceded that the overall death rate though out the entire studies has increased modestly. After the press conference asked what "moderate" was meant as 10 per 10,000 population or several 100, they said that the number is part of an on going study and would be released in the near future. When asked what near future was. Was that meant to be in days , week, months , several month or years, they only said that they would not release a number until the ongoing study is complete.
