Public health experts estimate that more than 200 million people worldwide are exposed to arsenic through contaminated drinking water. Scientists know that long-term exposure to arsenic is associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease, but there is still no reliable way to track these exposures and fully understand their effects on the body and the mechanisms behind them. A new study led by researchers at the University of Chicago addresses this challenge, revealing how arsenic leaves traces in human DNA and providing a potential new tool for exposure assessment. in International Journal of…
