Bronchiectasis in Persons With Skin Lesions Resulting From Arsenic in Drinking Water
Article
  • Dec 2005
Arsenic is a unique human carcinogen in that it causes lung cancer by exposure through ingestion (in drinking water) as well as through inhalation. Less is known about nonmalignant pulmonary disease after exposure to arsenic in drinking water. We recruited 108 subjects with arsenic-caused skin lesions and 150 subjects without lesions from a populat...

... The OR for bronchiectasis in the arsenic-exposed group was found to be 10.0 (95% CI: 2.7-37.0). The findings of previous studies suggest that high levels of arsenic ingestion in drinking water (above 400 μg/L) could potentially lead to the development of bronchiectasis (Mazumder et al. 2005). A meta-analysis of 9 previous studies found that arsenic exposure is associated with restrictive impairments, as evidenced by inverse associations between arsenic and both forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC). ...
