研究发现,水中的砷含量低,甚至低于安全限度,增加了肾癌风险。 Study finds low levels of arsenic in water, even below safe limits, increase kidney cancer risk.

得克萨斯州A&M大学最近的研究发现,饮用水中含砷含量低,甚至低于10亿分之10的安全临界值,可能大大增加肾癌风险。 Recent research from Texas A&M University found that low levels of arsenic in drinking water, even below the 10 parts per billion safety threshold, can significantly increase kidney cancer risk. 这项研究分析了240个得克萨斯州,显示每10亿分之1至5的砷含量将肾癌风险提高6%,而每10亿分之5以上的砷含量将风险提高22%。 Analyzing 240 Texas counties, the study showed that arsenic levels between 1 and 5 parts per billion raised kidney cancer risk by 6%, while levels above 5 parts per billion increased the risk by 22%. 调查结果表明,减少砷接触可能降低肾癌发病率。 The findings suggest reducing arsenic exposure could lower kidney cancer rates.
