| Arsenic contamination of groundwater, food, and air affects millions of people around the world by causing or contributing to a host of illnesses from skin conditions and cancers (of the bladder, kidney, liver, lung, colon, uterus, prostate, and stomach) to diabetogenic , vascular/cardiovascular, reproductive, developmental, and neurological effects. Articles in this month's issue look at the extent of the problem (Focus, p. A378), new technologies for remediation (Innovations, p. A398), and new data on how this element may contribute to human suffering (Science Selections, p. A404).
