砷中毒已成为一个世界性的公共卫生问题。皮肤对砷非常敏感，皮肤损伤是与慢性砷暴露相关的最常见和最早的非恶性影响。2005-2007年，对巴基斯坦曼查尔湖畔信德省南部居民的地表水和地下水中的砷污染及其与相关不良健康影响(黑变病和角化病)之间的关系进行了调查。来自受砷影响村庄的人口中，61%至73%的人口被确认为慢性砷中毒患者。通过成人(男性和女性)、有或没有皮肤问题的成年人(n=187)的生物样本(头皮毛发和血液)来评估通过饮用水的砷毒性的影响。参考样本也来自砷水平较低的地区(
Arsenic (As) poisoning has become a worldwide public health concern. The skin is quite sensitive to As and skin lesions are the most common and earliest nonmalignant effects associated to chronic As exposure. In 2005-2007, a survey was carried out on surface and groundwater arsenic contamination and relationships between As exposure via the drinking water and related adverse health effects (melanosis and keratosis) on villagers southern part of Sindh resides on the banks of Manchar lake Pakistan We screened the,,. population from arsenic-affected villages, 61 to 73% population were identified patients suffering from chronic arsenic toxicity. The effects of As toxicity via drinking water were estimated by biological samples (scalp hair and blood) of adults (males and females), have or have not skin problem (n = 187). The referent samples of both genders were also collected from the areas having low level of As (
