Arsenic contamination, arsenicosis, and its complications constitute a substantial public health burden. Although the provision of arsenic-safe water supply is an important factor for the effective management of arsenicosis which is not under the purview of the DGHS activities, still DGHS can take lead in developing of effective intersectoral ...

INTRODUCTION. Inorganic arsenic (As), a Group 1 human carcinogen, can be elevated in drinking water where it poses a threat to public health. Chronic ingestion of As increases the risk of cancer in the lung, bladder, liver, kidney, and skin, 1–8 as well as ischemic heart disease, atherosclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, and skin …

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that is widely distributed in the Earth's crust. It is found in water, air, food, and soil. ... Certain filtration systems can remove arsenic from water. Consider water treatment methods such as reverse osmosis, ultra-filtration, or ion exchange. ... likely contributing to a higher burden of ...

Arsenic could also be given as a series of smaller doses, producing a more subtle form of chronic poisoning characterized by a loss of strength, confusion and paralysis. Eventually, the arsenic of choice emerged as so-called white arsenic or arsenic trioxide (As2O3); the fatal dose was known to be an amount equivalent in size to a pea.

The impact of foodborne metals on the burden of disease has been largely overlooked, in comparison to the attention on acute diseases associated with infectious foodborne agents. Four articles in this special section describe in detail the burden of disease from foodborne lead, methylmercury, arsenic, and cadmium. Ingested lead and ...

Arsenic treatment is not cheap, and burdens even high-income rural s. Natural and anthropogenic arsenic is eternally in the well water so we should not be exposed to it ... One of the complications is that, in a strain many plasmids can cause a burden on bacterial cells, resulting in a sluggish growth rate and strain replication, ...

This review provides an up-to-date look at arsenic-related challenges facing the global community, including current sources of arsenic, global disease burden, arsenic …

Available information for industrial and agricultural chemicals and acute poisonings only (i.e. without air pollution nor arsenic-contaminated drinking-water) amounts to a global burden of disease of at least 1.2 million deaths (25 million DALYs), corresponding to 2.0% of the total deaths and 1.7% of the total burden of disease …

Materials and Methods. Arsenic-related disease due to chronic exposure through drinking water has a relatively low incidence and a latency of up to decades for most end points significant to a burden of disease assessment (National Research Council 2001).However, case fatality rates for arsenic-exposure–related sequelae such as …

Persons obtaining their drinking water from private wells are often responsible for well testing and water treatment. High levels of arsenic have been reported in well water-supplied areas of the United States. We quantified - in cases and dollars - the potential burden of disease associated with the ingestion of arsenic through private well ...
