• Global Water Pollution and Human Health (2010, background): “In 1993, WHO reduced the standard for safe drinking water to 10 μg As/L, which still results in a smaller margin of safety compared to typical organic pollutants with carcinogenic properties.”
• The Broad Scope of Health Effects from Chronic Arsenic Exposure: Update on a Worldwide Public Health Problem (2013, background): “…with lifetime arsenic exposure at water concentrations of > 10 µg/L is approximately 1 in 300, which is 30–300 times higher than the cancer risks estimated for exposure to other known carcinogens in drinking water at concentrations equal to current U.S. drinking-water standards (Smith et al. 2002).”
• Accumulation and Transformation of Arsenic in the Blue-Green Alga Synechocysis sp. PCC6803 (2012, background): “Additionally, As can also enter the food chain through crops irrigated with the As-contaminated groundwater (Smith et al. 2002; Meharg 2004).”
