Abstract

Arsenic is a pollutant in the environment, and its poisoning of drinking water is considered a severe global health issue. Chronic arsenic exposure is linked to an increased risk of a variety of diseases, including cardiovascular abnormalities, diabetes mellitus, neurotoxicity, and nephrotoxicity. Furthermore, arsenic exposure has been linked to changes in liver function and the development of hepatotoxicity. Furthermore, only a few studies have shown that persistent exposure to arsenic causes carcinogenesis, particularly cancers of the skin, bladder, and lungs. The current study looks at a variety of processes that play a role in arsenic-induced toxicity and end-organ damage.
