For that purpose, this study aims to apply Kress and van …

Data were analyzed using applied thematic analysis techniques. Results : Cancer emerged as an important health problem and was reported as a growing concern. Ki…
Arsenic in Mexican Children Exposed to Contaminated Well Water
This cross-sectional study measures the arsenic level in school children exposed to contaminated well water in a rural area in México. Arsenic was measured in hair by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Overall, 110 children were included (average 10 years-old). Among 55 exposed children, mean arsenic level on hair was 1.3 mg/kg (range <0.006-5.9). All unexposed children had undetectable arsenic levels. The high level of arsen…
