Abstract

In this paper, we are going to provide an overview of the source of inorganic arsenic exposure, its sources, metabolism, epidemiology, and risk assessment. We will focus on skin lesions and bladder cancer as two health outcomes. The overview will provide an idea how we can start with a toxin in the environment and identify its health effects.
