Pollutants in drinking water were collected from an area with a high incidence of bladder cancer and from an area with a low incidence. The toxicity of extracts of the pollutants was studied, and they were also tested for carcinogenicity. Tumors attributable to the pollutants were not induced in experimental animals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
