Chronic endemic arsenism via drinking water was first found in Taiwan in 1968, and reported
in Xinjiang Province in mainland China in the 1980s. Arsenism has become one of the …

An investigation was carried out on arsenic contamination of groundwater and prevalence
of arsenical dermatosis in the Hetao plain of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. …

Background Chronic arsenic exposure is associated with cardiovascular abnormalities.
Prolongation of the QT (time between initial deflection of QRS complex to the end of T wave) …

Efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment requires highly active and controllable
photocatalysts. Defect engineering and heterojunction are two promising approaches in …

Background Bayingnormen is a region located in western Inner Mongolia China, with a
population that is exposed to a wide range of drinking water arsenic concentrations. The …

Arsenic, a human carcinogen, is known to induce oxidative damage to DNA. In this study we
investigated oxidative stress and As exposure by determining gene expression of OGG1, …

Residents of the Bayingnormen region of Inner Mongolia have been exposed to arsenic-contaminated
well water for over 20 years, but relatively few studies have investigated health …

The extremely high exposure levels evaluated in prior investigations relating elevated levels
of drinking water arsenic and hypertension prevalence make extrapolation to potential …

Background Millions of people are at risk from the adverse effects of arsenic exposure
through drinking water. Increasingly, non-cancer effects such as cardiovascular disease have …

Intrinsic defect engineering is a powerful tool to tune electronic structures for achieving
higher photocatalytic activity. Nevertheless, a more industrialized and controlled defect-…
