Consumption of low-moderate level arsenic contaminated water does not increase spontaneous pregnancy loss: a case control study

Previous work suggests an increased risk for spontaneous pregnancy loss linked to high levels of inorganic arsenic (iAs) in drinking water sources (>10 μg/L). However, there has been little focus to date on the impact of low-moderate levels of iAs in drinking water (
