MIT: Prenatal arsenic exposure detected in newborns
Date:11/22/2007

damage, perhaps through dietary changes, nutritional supplements, or drug treatments to counteract the gene expression changes.

Also, the group plans to do follow-up studies in different locations and with larger groups of subjects to confirm the value of the 11 marker genes as a reliable indicator of arsenic exposure. The researchers also aim to determine whether the gene expression changes are specific to arsenic.

This study is an example of the CEHSs efforts to promote collaborative interdisciplinary research into global environmental health issues, specifically in the developing world.
