TL;DR: The effects of arsenic on the human body with a main focus on assorted organ systems with respective disease conditions are outlined and underlying mechanisms of disease development in each organ system due to arsenic have been explored.

TL;DR: From a survey of 12 countries on four continents, cadmium levels in rice grain were the highest in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, with both these countries also having high per capita rice intakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative sensitivity of Eisenia andrei and Perionyx excavatus in earthworm avoidance tests using two soil types in the tropics.
TL;DR: Endpoints generated through avoidance tests in this study are shown to be less sensitive than reproduction and more sensitive than survival, which means Earthworm avoidance tests can only replace survival tests as an initial screening tool for risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of temperature and soil type on the toxicity of three pesticides to Eisenia andrei.
TL;DR: It is concluded that toxicity of pesticides in tropics may not be predicted from data generated under temperate conditions, even within the same species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of chlorpyrifos, carbofuran, mancozeb and their formulations to the tropical earthworm Perionyx excavatus
TL;DR: Comparison with available survival data revealed that P. excavatus is more sensitive than the standard test species Eisenia andrei or E. fetida, so the use of tropical species in the risk assessment of pesticides in tropical regions should be encouraged.
