Arsenic in Drinking Water and Risk of Urinary Tract Cancer: A Follow-up Study from Northeastern Taiwan

The evidence linking arsenic in drinking water with increased urinary cancer risk comes from populations in relatively high exposure areas (>100 μg/L), whereas studies from lower exposure areas (100 μg/L), the relative risks (RR) were >5-fold, whereas the risk was elevated but not significant...
