Description |
Arsenic is an environmental pollutant and a known human carcinogen. Globally, millions of
people are at risk for the detrimental effects of chronic arsenic exposure with drinking water levels far
exceeding the guideline of 10μg/L established by the World Health Organization (WHO). Exposure to
arsenic-contaminated drinking water is alarmingly high in many countries, most notably India and
Bangladesh, where >25 million people are chronically exposed to extreme arsenic levels. Premalignant skin
lesions (melanosis, leucomelanosis, and keratosis) are an early manifestation and hallmark of arsenic
toxicity and may indicate increased future risk of arsenic-related cancer. However, the molecular basis of
arsenic-induced skin lesions and its progression to cancer is poorly understood and still elusive.
