Issues in arsenic cancer risk assessment.
Efforts to develop effective therapeutic treatments for promoting fast wound healing after injury to the epidermis are hindered by a lack of understanding of the factors involved. Re-epithelialization is an essential step of wound healing involving the migration of epidermal keratinocytes over the wound site. Here, we examine genetic variants in the keratin-1 (KRT1) locus for association with m...
متن کاملRisk and revisionism in arsenic cancer risk assessment.
Oral exposures of nonoccupational populations to environmental inorganic arsenic are associated with skin and internal cancers as well as various noncarcinogenic effects. Cancer risk assessments have been based largely on epidemiological studies of a large population exposed to inorganic arsenic in well water in Taiwan. Criticisms and skepticism of the use of the Taiwanese data for estimating a...
متن کاملArsenic risk assessment.
The brillant literature review and health risk assessment by Mennear and ChengChung, "Polybrominated Dibenzo-p-dioxins and Dibenzofurans: Literature Review and Health Assessment" [EHP 102(suppl 1):265-274], states that "reports of human toxicity associated with exposure to PBDDs and PBDFs were not found" (p. 272). In fact, in their review, no references are discussed or quoted regarding human s...
متن کاملArsenic risk assessment.
We review recent publications by Hopenhayn-Rich et al. and Smith et al. regarding two critical issues in arsenic risk assessment: the role of methylation in the dose-response relationship and the role of internal cancers. Hopenhayn-Rich et al. applied simple linear regression to data from several studies to determine whether the percentage of inorganic arsenic in urine increases with increasing...
متن کاملCancer risk assessment for arsenic exposure through oyster consumption.
Risk is assessed on the basis of assumptions, but this practice might not be well received by the general public. To avoid miscommunication, the assumptions should be stated clearly in reporting the results. Recently, a report on an assessment of the cancer risk associated with consumption of oysters caused a panic among consumers in Taiwan and produced significant effects on related industries...
