An improved understanding of arsenic toxicity and the dose-response relationship for relatively low levels of arsenic could improve the risk assessment process. The overall objective of this study was to contribute to a better understanding of arsenic health effects. A specific aim was to investigate the cellular response of exposure to arsenic. This includes the analysis of cells treated with arsenic alone or in combination with other DNA-damaging agents in order to identify mechanisms of DNA damage, the influence of arsenic on DNA repair, and potential critical genes responsible for repair of DNA damage. |
