Arsenic responsible for gallbladder cancer ?

Arsenic responsible for gallbladder cancer ?



In a recent study, it was found that "chronic arsenic exposure in drinking water even at low-moderate levels can cause...Gall Bladder Cancer(GBC)". Assam and Bihar are two states in the country that report maximum GBC cases and they have maximum Arsenic load in groundwater or tubewell water that they consume. 

This link between GBC cases and the amount of Arsenic in water imbibes the conclusion that the more Arsenic more will be the risk of GBC. 

The study area was Assam and Bihar where a load of Arsenic varies from 10g/l to even 1500g/l.

The sample population used in the study has a residential time span of 15 to 70 years which ensures minimum to maximum exposure to the groundwater of the area.

When the Arsenic load is 1.3 to 8.9g/l risk of GBC is two times whereas when the load is 9.1 to 448.3g/l the risk is 2.4 times.

But the point here is for a change in Arsenic concentration from 8.9 to 448.3g/l (i.e.,49.37 times) the cases of GBC rose by  20%. Is this sensitivity sufficient to analyze the conclusion of the study?

Five New Ideas for Opening Start Ups in Water Conservation

PPT Link / Video Link Photo by Naja Bertolt Jensen on Unsplash "Water is a key element for the process industry and a core component for recycling and sustainable management. In industry, water fulfills many functions, including its use as raw material, as a means of transport as well as its use for cleaning and cooling"( source ) "The global Smart Water Management market size is expected to grow USD 13.8 billion in 2021 to USD 22.4 billion by 2026, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.1% during the forecast period"( source ). Intelligent water conservation and management techniques need to be adopted by the industry such that water can be optimally utilized. Now as per the forecast and recent occurrence of extreme events the necessity of such management has become more significant. Based on this need, some start-up businesses can be established which can help to achieve the water conservation goals. Five such ideas are discussed below. 1)Climate Risk Ass...

Online Innternship Opportunity : Optimal Energy Allocation in Paper Industry by Nature Based Optimization Techniques

Summary • The paper industry is a profitable and essential sector for sustainable livelihood. • Unplanned power allocation among industry units is a major cause of industry losses. • Bio-inspired optimization techniques, such as the Moth Flame Optimization Technique (MFT), Water Cycle Optimization (WCO), and Fish Foraging Algorithm (FFA), are being used to identify optimal solutions. • These population-based algorithms consider every part of the search domain to find the optimal solution. • These techniques can help allocate power optimally and sustainably, ensuring no compromise in the quality of the output and expenditures are allocated for essential needs only.
