Article Synopsis
- A study conducted in Mexico examined the relationship between drinking water iAs, plasma arsenicals, and urinary arsenicals using statistical analyses to reveal how these biomarker levels correspond.
- Findings indicated that plasma arsenicals are reliable indicators of iAs exposure from drinking water, but distinct differences in arsenical profiles between plasma and urine suggest they reflect different processes of iAs metabolism and elimination.
Background: Exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) via drinking water is a serious global health threat. Various factors influence susceptibility to iAs-associated health outcomes, including differences in iAs metabolism. Previous studies have shown that obesity is associated with iAs metabolism.
