Bob:

It could be as simple as your source of drinking water.
Depending on the location of your residence or workplace, the
concentration of arsenic in the soil and ground water could
be elevated. Arsenicals were used quite a bit in several
farming regions, and arsenic often appears near mining
activities.

Having your water tested is not very difficult or expensive.
