- Authors
Lubin, Jay H.; Beane Freeman, Laura E.; Cantor, Kenneth P.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the concern of various international organizations and U.S. administrative agencies regarding the ingestion of inorganic arsenic from drinking water. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has identified sufficient evidence in humans that inorganic arsenic causes lung, bladder and nonmelanoma skin cancers. Due to this, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency lowered the maximum contaminant level for arsenic in drinking water supplied by community water systems.
