Reassessing the Link between Airborne Arsenic Exposure among Anaconda Copper Smelter Workers and Multiple Causes of Death Using the Parametric g-Formula
Conclusions: Our analyses suggest that the excess deaths from causes other than respiratory cancers comprise the majority of the excess deaths caused by inhaled arsenic exposure. Healthy worker survivor bias may have masked such associations in prior analyses. These results emphasize the need for consideration of all exposure routes for upcoming risk assessment by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
