An estimated 43,000 people die each year from arsenic-related illness in Bangladesh, according to one study. The government identifies people with arsenic-related illnesses primarily via skin lesions, although the vast majority of those with arsenic-related illnesses dont develop them. Those exposed are at significant risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and lung disease as a result, but many receive no health care at all"--Publisher's description. 500 $a "April 2016"--Table of contents page. 530 $a Also available online. 650 0 $a Arsenic $x Toxicology $z Bangladesh. 650 0 $a Drinking water $x Contamination $z Bangladesh. 650 0 $a Drinking water $x Arsenic content $z Bangladesh. 650 0 $a Medical policy $z Bangladesh. 650 0 $a Human rights $z Bangladesh. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008122047 710 2 $a Human Rights Watch (Organization), $e issuing body. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n88622031 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171230023205.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CDA54910ED2F11E78644BA0B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
