Dose–response relationships of the risk of lung, bladder, and skin cancer as a function of dietary exposure to inorganic arsenic (i-As)a.
| Cancer type | Extra lifetime risk of cancerb |
|---|---|
| Lung | r = 10−5x2+0.001x |
| Bladder | r = 10−6x2+0.0004x |
| Skin | r = 0.0015x |
Dose–response relationships were established by US FDA and Integrated Risk Information System (35).
r is extra lifetime risk of cancer, as a function of the exposure; x is equal to the lifetime daily dose of i-As.
