: Arsenic is ubiquitous in the environment and human exposure can occur from multiple possible routes including diet. Occupational medicine physicians asked to evaluate workers with elevated urine arsenic levels may be unaware that many sources of arsenic exposure are not work related. In this paper, we address arsenic exposure sources and pathways, adverse health effects of arsenic exposure and those subpopulations at increased risk, and the evaluation and treatment of those exposed to elevated arsenic levels.
砷在环境中无处不在，人类可能通过多种途径接触砷，包括饮食。职业医学医师在评估尿液砷含量升高的工人时，可能没有意识到许多砷暴露源与工作无关。本文讨论了砷暴露的来源和途径、砷暴露的健康危害以及高危人群，以及接触高砷水平人群的评估和治疗。
