	Chronic Arsenic Exposure and Risk of Infant Mortality in Two Areas of Chile
		Before 1958, arsenic levels in the water of Antofagasta averaged 90 µg/L. After the introduction of the Toconce River as the main water source, the mean arsenic levels during the period 1958-1970 rose to approximately 860 µg/L. In 1970, the city installed an arsenic-removal plant for this water supply.
		Although both Antofagasta and Valparaíso experienced substantial improvements in their overall infant mortality rates over the study period, the pattern of infant mortality for these two communities was quite different before the 1970s.
		As in the rest of the country, the decline in mortality rates in Antofagasta during the overall study period was likely a result of other nonarsenic-related factors such as improvement in health care and standard of living, which affected all of the regions in Chile.
