Journal ArticleDOI
A global health problem caused by arsenic from natural sources
TL;DR: E epidemiological evidence indicates that arsenic concentration exceeding 50 microg l(-1) in the drinking water is not public health protective, and the global health implication and possible intervention strategies were discussed in this review article.
Journal ArticleDOI
The accumulation and toxicity of methylated arsenicals in endothelial cells: important roles of thiol compounds.
Seishiro Hirano,Yayoi Kobayashi,Xing Cui,Sanae Kanno,Toru Hayakawa,Toru Hayakawa,Amjad Shraim,Amjad Shraim +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that MMA(III) (GS)(2) is highly toxic compared to other arsenic compounds because of faster accumulation of this species by cells, in addition to having the toxic nature of methylated trivalent organic arsenics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Difference in uptake and toxicity of trivalent and pentavalent inorganic arsenic in rat heart microvessel endothelial cells
Seishiro Hirano,Xing Cui,Song Li,Sanae Kanno,Yayoi Kobayashi,Toru Hayakawa,Toru Hayakawa,Amjad Shraim +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the higher toxicity of As3+ compared with that of As5+ is probably due to the faster uptake of As 3+ by endothelial cells, and inorganic arsenic exerts its toxicity at least in part via intracellular oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amjad Shraim,Amjad Shraim,Atef M. Diab,Awadh O. AlSuhaimi,Esmail Niazy,Mohammed Metwally,Maan H. Amad,Salim Sioud,Abdulilah Dawoud +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the wastewater of Almadinah Almunawarah, Saudi Arabia before and after treatment was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic speciation in the urine and hair of individuals exposed to airborne arsenic through coal-burning in Guizhou, PR China
Amjad Shraim,Amjad Shraim,Xing Cui,Song Li,Jack C. Ng,Jianping Wang Wang,Yinlong Jin,Yingchun Liu,Lei Guo,Dasheng Li,Shuquan Wang,Ruizhi Zhang,Seishiro Hirano +12 more
TL;DR: Females were found to have a higher dimethylarsinic acid but lower percentages of inorganic arsenic and monomethylarsonic acid in their urine than males, and there was no significant difference between females and males for both urinary and hair-arsenic concentrations.
