Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS eyAAR0xQ. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Arsenic in drinking water is known to be a cause of lung, bladder, and skin cancer, and some studies report cardiovascular disease effects. The authors investigated mortality from 1950 to 2000 in the arsenic-exposed region II of Chile (population : 477,000 in 2000) in comparison with the unexposed region V. Increased risks were found for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with mortality rate ratios of 1.48 for men (95% confidence interval (Cl) : 1.37,1.59 ; p |
