Arsenic in drinking water, hair, and prevalence of arsenicosis in Perak, Malaysia
Frontiers in Public Health, 2023 Arsenic is a carcinogen element that occurs naturally in our environment. Humans can be exposed to arsenic through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal absorption. However, the most significant exposure pathway is via oral ingestion.

Natural organic matter in sedimentary basins and its relation to arsenic in anoxic ground water: the example of West Bengal and its worldwide implications [PDF]
, 2004 In order to investigate the mechanism of As release to anoxic ground water in alluvial aquifers, the authors sampled ground waters from 3 piezometer nests, 79 shallow (80 m) wells, in an area 750 m by 450 m, just north of Barasat, near Kolkata (Calcutta),

Measured versus modeled dietary arsenic and relation to urinary arsenic excretion and total exposure [PDF]
Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2013 Chronic exposure to arsenic (As) in food and water is a significant public health problem. Person-specific aggregate exposure is difficult to collect and modeling based on limited food As residue databases is of uncertain reliability. Two cross-sectional population exposure studies, the National Human Exposure Assessment Survey-Arizona and Arizona ...

Total arsenic and inorganic arsenic content in Norwegian fish feed products
Aquaculture Nutrition, 2005 Samples of complete feedingstuffs for fish, and fishmeals from the Norwegian Fish Feed Monitoring Programme in 2003 were analysed for their total arsenic and inorganic arsenic contents. Microwave assisted wet digestion with nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide was used for the sample preparation for total arsenic analysis by ICPMS.
