Prostate Cancer Incidence in U.S. Counties and Low Levels of Arsenic in Drinking Water

Prostate Cancer Incidence in U.S. Counties and Low Levels of Arsenic in Drinking Water

Although inorganic arsenic in drinking water at high levels (100s-1000s μg/L [ppb]) increases cancer risk (skin, bladder, lung, and possibly prostate), the evidence at lower levels is limited. : We conducted an ecologic analysis of the dose-response relationship between prostate cancer incidence and...

Zusammenfassung:Although inorganic arsenic in drinking water at high levels (100s-1000s μg/L [ppb]) increases cancer risk (skin, bladder, lung, and possibly prostate), the evidence at lower levels is limited. : We conducted an ecologic analysis of the dose-response relationship between prostate cancer incidence and low arsenic levels in drinking water in a large study of U.S. counties ( = 710). County arsenic levels were
