Arsenic Residue Rules Tighten Apple Sprays
Apple growers face stricter government limits on arsenic residue after final spray. Regulation caps residue at one hundredth of a grain per pound of fruit, with rainfall post spraying affecting levels. Arid-region fruit shows higher residue, leading to washing with weak hydrochloric acid using specialized machines to meet rules. A New Hampshire experiment noted guinea pigs tolerate daily arsenic from 15 to 18 apples, while a man would need 2,400 apples to feel effects. Local practice includes washing to ensure compliance.
