Abstract
- The article discusses the health risks of arsenic exposure. Scientists have found that if a pregnant woman is exposed, the deadly contaminant can alter the activity of several genes in her fetus, potentially increasing the child's risk of cancer later in life. The finding puts urgency on keeping arsenic out of expectant mothers' drinking water.
