arsenic for decades. The extent to which As is transported to the fetus during pregnancy has …

Background Prenatal inorganic arsenic (iAs) exposure is associated with pregnancy
outcomes. Maternal capabilities of arsenic biotransformation and elimination may influence …

Background The interindividual variation in metabolism of inorganic arsenic (iAs), involving
methylation via one-carbon metabolism, has been well documented, but the reasons remain …

Objectives. Elevated arsenic levels in tube-well water in Bangladesh have prompted
extensive mitigation projects. We evaluated the effectiveness of long-term mitigation efforts …

Background Among highly exposed populations, arsenic exposure in utero may be
associated with decreased birth weight, however less is known about potential effects of …

This study assessed the exposure of pregnant women to arsenic in Matlab, Bangladesh, an
area with highly-elevated concentrations of arsenic in tubewells, by measuring …

Arsenic crosses the placenta and may have adverse consequences in utero and later in life.
At present, little is known about arsenic concentrations in placenta and their relation to …

Objective: To characterize the effects of maternal arsenic exposure on birth weight. Methods:
Hair, toenail, and drinking water samples were collected from pregnant women (n= 52) at …

Background: The relationship between arsenic and birth weight is not well understood. The
objective was to evaluate the causal relationship between prenatal arsenic exposure and …

Background: Studies suggest that arsenic exposure influences birth outcomes; however,
findings are mixed. Objective: We assessed in utero arsenic exposure in relation to birth …
