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?

Critical Review of Hydrology for Beginners: A Video Book

Click here to download Dr. Mrinmoy Majumder’s Hydrology for Beginners: A Video Book is an ambitious attempt to make introductory hydrology more accessible through a combination of concise reading materials and video-based instruction. Instead of presenting hydrology solely through equations and descriptive text, the book adopts a multimedia format intended to help learners observe calculations, diagrams and problem-solving procedures in a guided manner. This makes the work particularly relevant to undergraduate students, early-stage researchers and practising engineers who need a structured introduction or rapid refresher. Content and organisation The book addresses several foundational areas of engineering hydrology. The associated learning series includes methods for estimating mean precipitation, testing rainfall-data consistency, correcting and estimating missing rainfall records, analysing hydrological risk, understanding floods, interpreting hydrographs and performing reservoir ...

Retention Change Indicator

Watershed retain water from rainfall within its soil pores and depressions available in the basin. If this capacity of retention get receeded there will be stress on the supply of both water and food to dependent consumers. Check, whether the watershed on which you are staying maintains a healthy retention capacity ? A new tool will help you to ascertain the same and make you prepared for the uncertainties that may come if the retention capacity of your watershed has changed negatively. Get the tool from www.baipatra.ws Thanks, Mrinmoy
