Arsenic and Human Disease• Chronic (2-20 years) exposure to NONTOXIC levels of arsenic (no overt
or immediate symptoms) has been linked to increased risk of:
Cancer: Lung, skin, bladder, liver, kidney, and prostate
Diabetes (Type II, adult onset,~10-fold increase with arsenic exposure)
Learning disabilities in children
Heart disease
Reproductive and developmental problems
• Mechanism of disease: Not clear
