Women And Children

In the recent years, pesticide research and regulatory efforts have focused on the prevention of acute health effects from pesticide poisonings and pesticide residues on foods, but more attention is being given to the deleterious chronic health effects. Children and pregnant women's exposure to contaminated water in particular are at high risk for subsequent adverse health outcomes. The chapter summaries the health effects of water contamination.

In the Oinofita region, there was strong evidence of air pollution and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI))-contaminated drinking water due to the increased number of industries, in contrast to the closely-located region of Arachova, which served as a control. To examine the health effects of environmental pollution, we performed an ecological study to compare the all-cause and cause-specific mortality. We considered the registered citizens of both study areas during an 11-year period (1999-2009) and we used the direct method of standardization to calculate the age, gender and period standardized rates (ASRs) and the standardized rate ratios (SRRs), using the greater Prefecture of Voiotia as the standard population. Statistically significantly higher rates of all-cause mortality (SRR = 1.22, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.1-1.4), cardiovascular (SRR = 1.36, 95% CI 1.1-1.7) and cerebrovascular diseases (SRR = 2.93, 95% CI 1.8-4.8) were identified for Oinofita compared to Arachova. Furthermore, suggestive results were found for cardiopulmonary diseases among males (SRR = 1.52, 95% CI 1.0-2.4) and leukaemias (SRR = 4.65, 95% CI 0.9-25.3). Elevated SRRs, not statistically significant though, were also observed for respiratory diseases, all cancers and specific cancer sites (lip, oral cavity and pharynx, liver, stomach, pancreas, lung, prostate, colon and kidney and other genitourinary organs among females). Increased mortality rates in the Oinofita region support the hypothesis of adverse health effects association with air pollution and Cr(VI)-contaminated drinking water. Further studies are needed to determine if this association is causal and to establish preventive guidelines and public health recommendations.

Contaminated Drinking Water

Inorganic arsenic (iAs) exposure is a serious health problem that affects more than 140 million individuals worldwide, mainly, through contaminated drinking water. Acute iAs poisoning produces several symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and severe diarrhea, whereas prolonged iAs exposure increased the risk of several malignant disorders such as lung, urinary tract, and skin tumors. Another sensitive endpoint less described of chronic iAs exposure are the non-malignant health effects in hepatic, endocrine, renal, neurological, hematological, immune, and cardiovascular systems. The present review outlines epidemiology evidence and possible molecular mechanisms associated with iAs-toxicity in several non-carcinogenic disorders.
