Association of Arsenic with Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes–Infant Mortality: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Arsenic is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and infant mortality. The interpretation of the causal association is hampered by methodological challenges and limited studies on dose-response. Exposure to arsenic continues to be a major global health issue and we therefore advocate for high quality prospective studies that include individual level data to quantify the impact of arsenic on adverse pregnancy outcomes/infant mortality.
