A critical review on arsenic removal from water using iron-based adsorbents
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the removal of arsenic from water using iron-based materials, such as iron nanoparticles, layered double hydroxides (LDHs), zero-valent iron (ZVI), iron-doped activated carbon, iron-depleted polymer/biomass materials, and iron-containing combined metal oxides.

Health effects inflicted by chronic low-level arsenic contamination in groundwater: A global public health challenge
Dona Sinha,Priyanka Prasad +1 more
TL;DR: This review has attempted to encompass the wide range of health effects associated with chronic low‐level As exposure ≤50 μg/L and the probable mechanisms that might provide a better insight regarding the underlying cause of these clinical manifestations.

The Danish civil registration system
TL;DR: The Danish Civil Registration System (CRS) in connection with other registers and biobanks will continue to provide the basis for significant knowledge relevant to the aetiological understanding and possible prevention of human diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Danish National Patient Register
TL;DR: Although the NPR is overall a sound data source, both the content and the definitions of single variables have changed over time and researchers using the data should carefully consider potential fallacies in the data before drawing conclusions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of antioxidant defence systems against arsenic toxicity is discussed, and the role role of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin E (α-tocopherol), curcumin, glutathione and antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase in their protective roles against arsenic-induced oxidative stress is also discussed.

TL;DR: The need for standardization of coronary heart disease (CHD) case definitions is clear, and as discussed by the authors recommends updated definitions, which are essential to epidemiological studies and other research, such as clinical trials, quality assurance, and economic analysis of healthcare costs.

Dose-response relation between arsenic concentration in well water and mortality from cancers and vascular diseases
TL;DR: A significant dose-response relation was observed between arsenic levels in well water and cancers of the bladder, kidney, skin, and lung in both males and females, and cancers in the prostate and liver in males, but there was no association for cancer of the nasopharynx, esophagus, stomach, colon, and uterine cervix.
