This study is the first attempt to evaluate occurrence, distribution and potential health
impacts of As at a national scale in Italy. In various environmental matrices, As geochemical …

Background In several volcanic areas of Italy, arsenic levels exceed European regulatory
limits (10 μg/L in drinking water). There is still uncertainty about health risks from arsenic at …

Arsenic (As) is a ubiquitous element widely distributed in the environment. This metalloid
has proven carcinogenic action in man. The aim of this work was to assess the health risk …

Abstract Background: In Latium (central Italy), arsenic concentrations exceeding the
