Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CFP) is the most frequently reported seafood-toxin illness in the
world. It causes substantial human health, social, and economic impacts. The illness …

The metalloid arsenic is a natural environmental contaminant to which humans are routinely
exposed in food, water, air, and soil. Arsenic has a long history of use as a homicidal agent …

Fish and seafood are main contributors of arsenic (As) in the diet. The dominating arsenical
is the organoarsenical arsenobetaine (AB), found particularly in finfish. Algae, blue mussels …

Chronic arsenic exposure is a critical public health issue in many countries. The metabolism
of arsenic in vivo is complicated because it can be influenced by many factors. In the present …

Background Oral exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) is associated with adverse health
effects. Epidemiological studies suggest differences in susceptibility to these health effects …

Various metals have demonstrated genotoxic and carcinogenic potential via different
mechanisms. Until now, biomonitoring and epidemiological studies have been carried out to …

Arsenic occurs naturally in the environment, and exists predominantly as inorganic arsenite
(As (III) and arsenate As (V)). Arsenic contamination of drinking water has long been …

Exposure to inorganic arsenic (InAs) via drinking water and/or food is a considerable
worldwide problem. Methylation of InAs generates monomethyl (MMAsIII+ V)-and dimethyl …

Metabolism of inorganic arsenic (iAs) is one of the key factors determining the character of
adverse effects associated with exposure to iAs. Results of previous studies indicate that …

Enzymatic methylation of arsenic is a detoxification process in microorganisms but in
humans may activate the metalloid to more carcinogenic species. We describe the first …
