Environmental exposure to arsenic is linked to an increased risk of urologic cancers, including bladder cancer and prostate cancer, according to international research. The research looked at links between exposures to nonessential elements such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, vanadium, and nickel, and urologic cancers across 68 different studies. It found that arsenic exposure increased the risk of urologic cancers, as did cadmium exposure and vanadium exposure, while there were no clear links for the other elements. The authors say further high-quality studies are needed to assess the public health burden from environmental exposure to these elements.
