 | | To assess the arsenic exposure of a population living in the vicinity of a coal-burning power plant with high arsenic emission in the Prievidza District, Slovakia, 548 spot urine samples were speciated for inorganic As ([As.sub.inorg]), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), and their sum ([As.sub.sum]). |
 | | In the framework of EXPASCAN and to investigate the NMSC risk of environmental As exposure from the coal-burning power plant in the district of Prievidza, Slovakia, a population-based case--control study was conducted with 264 NMSC cases and 286 controls. |
 | | The water supply of Prievidza District originated from outside the area, and recent data on As concentrations in the drinking water of Prievidza District provided by the State Health Institute, Prievidza, showed the majority of concentrations to be below the European quality standard of 10 [micro]g/L (Council of the European Union 1998). |
