TL;DR: This article outlines the structure of the supplement – two methodological papers (statistical approach and exposure assessment), eight papers presenting the cancer-specific results grouped by broad anatomical site, a paper giving industry sector results and one discussing work-related cancer-prevention strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The findings revealed that sustainability has entered the lexicon of the UK water sector, but much remains to be done to embed the concept operationally, with key sustainability issues such as resilience and interaction with related key sectors, such as energy and agriculture, relatively poorly addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human health risk assessment for arsenic: A critical review
TL;DR: An up-to-date review of the different sources of arsenic, indicators of human exposure, epidemiological and toxicological studies on carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic health outcomes, and risk assessment approaches demonstrates a need for more work evaluating the risks of different arsenic species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic species in wheat, raw and cooked rice: Exposure and associated health implications
TL;DR: The study suggests that arsenic intake from food, particularly from wheat consumption, holds particular significance where iAs is relatively low in water, and indicates children were at significantly higher health risk than adults due to iAs exposure from rice and/or wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human exposure assessment of different arsenic species in household water sources in a high risk arsenic area.
TL;DR: This exposure estimate has indicated that 63% of rural residents exceeded the World Health Organization's provisional tolerable daily intake (PTDI) of 2.1μgkg-1day-1 body weight.
