“…These symptoms manifest themselves 5 years after minimal exposure and may be precursors to skin cancer (WHO, 2022). It is worth noting that arsenic is one of the few substances that have been proven to cause cancer in humans through water consumption (WHO, 2019; Baghery et al 2023).…”

Human biomonitoring is one of the important tools for assessing exposure to toxic chemicals. A history of arsenic contamination via drinking water from gold mines in the Passagem district of Mariana, Brazil, is a way of incorporating this element into the body. This study aimed to evaluate water quality consumed by residents of Passagem de Mariana and to analyze biological samples, and investigate the magnitude of the exposure to arsenic. The results showed the presence of this trace element in higher concentrations than the maximum value permitted by the law. In two samples, concentrations were above 10 µg L− 1, regardless of the season, for two years. As for biological samples, arsenic concentrations in hair samples (0.048 to 0.925 µg g− 1) were lower than the normal level (< 1µg g− 1). Arsenic was quantified in urine, both in individuals in the exposed (9.80 to 211 µg L− 1) and in the reference group (8.20 to 55.7 µg L− 1), whose content is capable of affecting a degree of medium and high toxicological risk (> 15 µg L− 1). This group was affected by other sources contributing to arsenic exposure, making it necessary to study other environmental matrices as well as foods. After confirming the exposure, continued biomonitoring was recommended since the adverse effects caused by arsenic can be manifested in the long term.

BackgroundBladder cancer (BCa) is a significant public health concern. This study aimed to analyze the incidence trends, histological subtypes, and topographical distribution of BCa in Iran over a decade.MethodsThis retrospective registry-based study analyzed data on BCa patients diagnosed between March 20, 2006, and March 20, 2015. Following data quality control, age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) were calculated for BCa overall, by sex and histological subtype using the new World Health Organization (WHO) standard population.ResultsWe identified 51,379 BCa cases (81.97% male) with a mean age of 65.10 ± 14.89 years. The overall ASIR was 8.92 per 100,000 (95% CI: 8.84-9.00). While a modest increase in ASIR was observed overall (8.77 in 2006 to 9.64 in 2015) and among males (14.13 in 2006 to 15.95 in 2015) during the study period, males consistently had a significantly higher ASIR compared to females (approximately 4.5:1 ratio). BCa incidence showed a progressive increase across older age groups, particularly those aged 40-44 to 80-84 years. Urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) was the most prevalent histological type (ASIR: 8.19 to 7.93), followed by adenocarcinoma (AC; ASIR: 0.13 to 0.11). Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) displayed a decreasing trend (ASIR: 0.11 to 0.06). Both UCC and AC were more frequent in males (approximately 5 and 3 times higher than females, respectively). Malignant neoplasm of the bladder, unspecified, constituted over 95% of BCa topography classifications.ConclusionThis study identified a modest rise in BCa incidence, with male predominance and a higher burden in older adults. Further investigation into potential risk factors contributing to this increase is warranted.
