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?

Top Three Journals in Hydrology and Climate Change

Recently I have posted the top three journals from the topic of hydrology and climate change. The journals were selected based on the Citation Frequency,Frequency of Publication,Publisher Status,Ease of Publication process etc. While selecting these journals,the topic of the published articles were verified.Only those journals which publishes articles related to the theme topic are considered. The following journals were found to be three most suitable journals in which you can publish your paper related to hydrology : 1.Hydrology Sciences Journal,Taylor and Francis 2.Journal of Hydrology,Elsevier 3.Lake and Reservoir Management,Taylor and Francis The following journals were found to be three most suitable journals in which you can publish your paper related to Climate Change : 1.Acta Meterologica Sinica,Springer 2.Climate Change,Springer 3.Weather and Climate Extremes,Elsevier For the links please visit the home page.
