TLDR
A case presenting with multiple cutaneous cancers as well as an internal lung primary in a patient exposed to toxic levels of As in the drinking water is discussed along with a review of literature.Abstract:
Chronic arsenic (As) poisoning is a worldwide public health problem. Effects of prolonged exposure to high levels of As in drinking water have been observed and documented in various epidemiological studies from all over the world. The non-malignant cutaneous effects of chronic exposure to inorganic As are well known. A case presenting with multiple cutaneous cancers as well as an internal lung primary in a patient exposed to toxic levels of As in the drinking water is discussed along with a review of literature.read more

Mina Kim,Hyun-Ju Um,Sunbaek Bang,Sang-Hee Lee,Suk-Jung Oh,Ji-Hye Han,Kyoung-Woong Kim,Jiho Min,Yang-Hoon Kim +8 more
TL;DR: Single-stranded DNA aptamers generated from a random library to remove arsenic from Vietnamese groundwater revealed the Ars-3 aptamer to have the highest affinity to arsenate and arsenite with a dissociation constant of 4.95 +/-0.31 and 7.05 +/- 0.91 nM, respectively.

A novel biosensor based on Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles for SERS detection of arsenic (III).
TL;DR: This work proposes for the first time a simple and novel approach based on SERS and As (III) -aptamer for detection of As ( III) with excellent selectivity and sensitivity and was demonstrated in monitoring As (II) in lake water samples with satisfactory results.

Arsenic–glutathione conjugate transport by the human multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs/ABCCs)
TL;DR: The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins, multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1 and the related protein MRP2 (ABCC2), are thought to play an important role in arsenic detoxification through the cellular efflux of arsenic-GSH conjugates.

Chronic health effects in people exposed to arsenic via the drinking water: dose–response relationships in review
TL;DR: Prospective studies in large area of endemic As poisoning, like Bangladesh or China, where the rate of malignancies is expected to increase within the next several decades, will help to clarify the dose-response relationship between As exposure levels and adverse health effects with enhanced accuracy.

Arsenic poisoning in the Ganges delta
S. K. Acharyya,P. Chakraborty,Saibendu Kumar Lahiri,B. C. Raymahashay,Saumyen Guha,Amitava Bhowmik +5 more
TL;DR: Observations indicate that arsenic- rich pyrite and other arsenic minerals, which were proposed in previous models to give rise to arsenic pollution, are rare or even absent in the sediments of the Ganges delta.

TL;DR: The analysis according to the skin signs of chronic arsenicism in 1959 showed that they were useful risk indicators for subsequent cancer development in the development of lung cancer, and there was evidence of synergism between arsenic intake and smoking habit.
