Annotation:
The groundwater pollution by arsenic in Bangladesh causes a serious problem for millions of people who are exposed to poisoning by this toxic element. In an attempt to evaluate the extent of arsenic poisoning, hair samples of people living in Pabna district were collected. The hair samples were analyzed using Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) through exciting the atoms of a specimen so that their intensities can be converted into elemental concentrations in the specimen. The elements present in the specimen are identified by the corresponding X-ray energies and their concentrations are deduced from the X-ray intensities. The results from hair samples indicate substantially higher level of arsenic than those demarcated as toxic levels, in people from member families both affected and non-affected by poisoning. We correlate it with exceedingly high arsenic concentration in drinking water far above the permissible limit. The analytical results are compared with the results of arsenic and other elemental analysis of 160 Bangladeshi hair samples with that of 250 Japanese samples. The results show markedly higher levels of arsenic, manganese, iron and lead where the latter three elements show a positive relation with arsenic in the case of Bangladeshi as compared to the samples from Japan. On the other hand, selenium concentrations show very low level in the Bangladeshi samples compared to Japanese, displaying an inverse relationship with arsenic. The mechanism of arsenic in relation to other elements in the human body needs further investigation. The preliminary results call for detailed experimental and epidemiological studies to further characterize these aspects.

Considered the king of poisons, arsenic occurs naturally in the environment being present in air, soil, water and food. Its presence in drinking water is of global concern. Initial chronic exposure is manifested by skin lesions. Additionally, arsenic consumption impairs certain visceral organs: bladder, liver, prostate, etc. More over, arsenic is a recognized carcinogenic substance.When in Bangladesh started the program to lead safe drinking water in the 60’s, they never imagined the catastrophic consequences. Water wells were drilled in the whole country. The arsenic problem was recognized recently in the 90’s.  In order to understand the nature of arsenic  in the environment and how it could possibly reach groundwater in Bangladesh, this work explains some chemical characteristics of arsenic, the geological formation of the basin, and its mobility.The origin of arsenic contamination in the Bangladesh Delta is due to the geologic nature of the basin rather than the possibility of an arsenic rich mineral. The profile of sediments shows that the Delta is not homogeneous, but rather heterogeneous even in closer areas. The driving process for arsenic mobility is mainly the reduction by iron oxyhydroxides coupled with organic matter, including other factors such as particle size, depth, morphology, metal content, as well

Naturally-occurring groundwater arsenic can threaten human health and food security. In Bangladesh, >50 million people are estimated to have chronically consumed water with arsenic above the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline of 10 μg/L, which can contribute to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and reproductive and developmental effects. Studies relating arsenic exposure to health impacts generally estimate dose based on participants' primary household wells. Using a mass-balance for arsenic and water, we estimate that participants in Araihazar, Bangladesh obtain 37±8% of their water from primary household wells and 31±14% from other wells, and we thus recommend the inclusion of other wells in dose estimation. Concentrations of arsenic in well water are spatially variable, enabling many exposed households to switch to nearby lower-arsenic wells in response to area-wide well testing. Following well testing and education in Araihazar, arsenic exposure declined and remained lowered for at least eight years. Participants with arsenic-unsafe wells were 6.8 times more likely to switch wells over the first two years and 1.4-1.8 times more likely to switch wells over the ensuing decade. Rice comprises more than 70% of calories consumed in Bangladesh, and rice yield is negatively impacted by the buildup of arsenic in soil from irrigation with high-arsenic water. We investigated the effect of soil arsenic on yield using a controlled study design where we exchanged the top 15 cm of soil between high-arsenic and low-arsenic plots. Differences in yield were negatively correlated to differences in soil arsenic between adjacent soil replacement and control plots, suggesting that boro rice yield countrywide may be diminished by 7-26% due to arsenic in soil. Soil testing and removal of high-arsenic soil may enable farmers to mitigate the impacts of arsenic on rice. Twelve measurements made with the ITS Econo-Quick field kit could be used to estimate whether soil arsenic was above or below a 30 mg/kg intervention threshold with 80-90% accuracy. A soil inversion, where deep low-arsenic soil was exchanged with surface high-arsenic soil, decreased soil arsenic, organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus concentrations by about 40% in the top 20 cm of soil and improved rice yield by 15-30%.

The aim of this thesis was to analyse possible effects of prenatal arsenic exposure on foetal and infant health. The setting is Bangladesh, where two cohorts were studied, both part of a health and demographic surveillance system in Matlab. A historical cohort 1991-2000 included 29,134 pregnant women with information on drinking water sources and arsenic testing of tube well water. A prospective cohort study included pregnant women 2002 - 2003 where urinary arsenic concentrations were assessed twice during pregnancy; 2,924 women and their pregnancy outcomes were evaluated for foetal loss, perinatal and infant mortality; 1,578 mother-infant pairs were analysed for size at birth; and 1,552 were analysed for morbidity during infancy. Women exposed to arsenic levels ≥ 50 µg/L in water had an increased risk of foetal loss and infant death in comparison with women exposed to arsenic levels < 50 µg/L. These findings were confirmed in the prospective cohort study. Women with urine arsenic concentrations at the 5th quintile had 62% increased risk of spontaneous abortion (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.04 - 2.55) in comparison with women who had arsenic concentrations at the 1st quintile level. Increased risks of perinatal morality (RR 3.01, 95% CI 1.07 - 8.45) and infant mortality (RR 5.01; 95% CI: 1.41 - 17.84) were also observed at the 5th quintile of exposure. Significant negative dose-effect associations were found between arsenic exposure and birth weight, head and chest circumferences at a relatively low level of exposure (<100 µg/L in urine). In this range of exposure birth weight decreased by 1.68 g (SE 0.62) for each 1 µg/L increase of arsenic in urine. In comparison with exposure at the 1st quintile level the risk of lower respiratory tract infection was significantly increased (RR 1.68, 95% CI 1.35-2.07) for women who had urinary arsenic concentrations at the 5th quintile level. The risk was also increased for diarrhoeal diseases. The study findings highlight the negative effects of arsenic exposures on pregnancy outcomes and infant health. Mitigation programs need to be strengthened and women of reproductive ages should be prioritized in arsenic affected regions worldwide.

This thesis is composed of three independent essays. In the first chapter, I analyze the effect of a biofuel-favorable policy in the U.S. on fetal health. I show that the policy led to an expansion in the production of corn, a pesticide-intensive crop, and to increased risk of fetal conditions previously associated with exposure to corn pesticides. In the second chapter, I examine the role of agricultural productivity as a mechanism linking rainfall shocks to civil wars in African countries. I show that rainfall over agricultural land and during the growing season has a hump-shaped relationship with agricultural output, which is mirrored by a U-shaped relationship with civil war risk. In the third chapter, I examine the effect of various selling schemes for testing tubewell water for arsenic on test uptake and, conditional on adverse news, on health-protective behavior. I find that uptake is increased by fees that depend on test results, and that social networks and public information can promote health-protective behavior.
Esta tesis consta de tres ensayos independientes. En el primer capítulo, analizo el efecto de una ley estadounidense que favorece la producción de biocombustibles sobre la salud fetal. Demuestro que la ley aumentó la producción de maíz, un cultivo con altos requerimientos de pesticidas, y el riesgo de enfermedades fetales asociadas con la exposición a pesticidas. En el segundo capítulo, estudio cómo la productividad agrícola puede mediar la relación entre shocks de lluvia y guerras en países africanos. Midiendo el nivel de lluvia sobre el territorio agrícola y durante la fase de crecimiento, demuestro que éste tiene una relación en forma de U-invertida con la producción agrícola, y una relación en forma de U con la incidencia de guerras civiles. En el tercer capítulo, estudio el efecto de diversas modalidades de venta de pruebas de arsénico para agua de pozo sobre la demanda por las mismas y, para familias que reciben noticias adversas, sobre su comportamiento para evitar el arsénico. Encuentro que la demanda aumenta cuando el precio a pagar depende de los resultados de la prueba, y que las redes sociales e información pública pueden promover medidas para evitar el agua contaminada.

Annotation:
Background: Chronic arsenic (As) exposure in a global public health concern. Arsenic exposure through drinking water affects over 140 million people in at least 70 countries, including 40 million people in Bangladesh. In the United States (US), 2.4 million people rely on private wells or public water systems with As levels above the US maximum contaminant level. Ingested inorganic arsenic (InAs) is methylated to monomethyl (MMAs)- and dimethyl (DMAs)-arsenical species using the methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). Full methylation of InAs to DMAs decreases As toxicity and facilitates urinary As excretion. Arsenic methylation capacity is influenced by nutrients involved in one-carbon metabolism (OCM), the biochemical pathway that synthesizes SAM. Folate recruits one-carbon units for the remethylation of homocysteine and the synthesis of SAM. The availability of one-carbon units is also impacted by nutrients including the alternative methyl donor betaine, its precursor choline, and possibly the cofactor vitamin B12. In addition, As methylation capacity may also be influenced by creatine; an estimated 50% of SAM is consumed by the final step of endogenous creatine synthesis. The adverse health outcomes associated with chronic As exposure include impaired intellectual function, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, inflammation, and cancers of the bladder, lung, kidney, liver, and skin. In utero As exposure is associated with adverse birth outcomes include decreased birth weight and gestational age. Elevated health risks persist after exposure has been reduced or ended, leading to the hypothesis that epigenetic dysregulation, including changes in DNA methylation, may be a biological mechanism linking As exposure to health outcomes. Objectives: This research has three main objectives: (1) to investigate the influence of OCM nutritional factors on As methylation by evaluating effects of folic acid (FA) and creatine supplementation on As methylation capacity, and effect modification by baseline status of OCM-related nutrients; (2) to examine associations between As exposure and loci-specific DNA methylation in an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS); and (3) to assess mediation of the association between in utero As exposure and birth outcomes (i.e., gestational age and birth weight) by DNA methylation of target genes identified in an EWAS, as well as the candidate gene DNA methyltransferase 3 alpha (DNMT3A), a protein-coding gene involved in de novo DNA methylation. Methods: This research used data from three studies of As-exposed individuals. To address the first objective, we used data from the Folic Acid and Creatine Trial (FACT), a 24-week randomized clinical trial of FA (400 or 800 μg/day) and/or creatine supplementation (3 g/day or 3 g creatine and 400 μg FA/day) among As-exposed adults in Bangladesh recruited independent of folate status (N = 622). We investigated overall FA and creatine treatment effects on mean within-person changes in As metabolite proportions in urine compared to the placebo group (weeks 0 to 12). Rebound of As methylation capacity following the cessation of FA supplementation was assessed from weeks 12 to 24. We also assessed effect modification by baseline choline, betaine, vitamin B12, and plasma folate of treatment effects on changes in homocysteine, guanidinoacetate (GAA) (biomarkers of OCM and endogenous creatine synthesis, respectively), total blood As, and urinary As metabolite proportions and indices. To address the second objective, we used data from the Strong Heart Study (SHS), a population-based prospective cohort of American Indians with low-moderate levels of As exposure. DNA methylation was measured in 2,325 participants using the Illumina MethylationEPIC array, which interrogates > 850,000 loci. We tested for differentially methylated positions (DMPs) and regions (DMRs), and conducted gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis to understand functions of genes containing differential methylation. To address the third objective, we used data from a prospective birth cohort in Bangladesh. In a discovery phase, an EWAS was conducted to identify CpGs with methylation measured in cord blood that are associated with maternal water As levels and birth outcomes (N = 44). In a validation phase, DNA methylation in cord blood was measured using bisulfite pyrosequencing at three target CpGs annotated to miR124-3, MCC, and GNAL (N = 569). We applied structural equation models (SEMs) to assess mediation of the association between in utero As exposure and gestational age by DNA methylation. In addition, mediation of the association between in utero As exposure and birth outcomes by DNA methylation of the candidate gene DNA methyltransferase alpha (DNMT3A) was assessed. Results: In FACT, the mean within-person decreases %InAs and %MMAs and increase in %DMAs were greater among all groups receiving FA supplementation at weeks 6 and 12 compared to placebo (P < 0.05) (Chapter 3). Stratified by median choline and betaine concentrations at baseline, we observed a trend towards greater FA treatment effects among participants with levels below the median of both nutrients compared to participants above the median (Chapter 4). Among participants who discontinued FA supplementation, at week 24, %InAs and %DMAs were not significantly different than baseline levels, suggesting a rebound in As methylation capacity with cessation of FA supplementation. We observed a significantly greater mean within-person decreases in %MMAs with creatine supplementation compared to placebo at weeks 1, 6, and 12; mean within-person changes in %InAs and %DMAs did not differ significantly between the creatine and placebo groups (Chapter 3). The mean within-person decrease in urinary %MMAs at week 12 with creatine treatment was significantly greater than placebo among participants with baseline choline concentrations below the median, but did not differ from placebo among participants with choline concentrations above the median (Chapter 4). In an EWAS conducted in SHS, we identified 20 DMPs associated with urinary As levels at FDR < 0.05; five DMPs were significant at PBonferroni < 0.05 (Chapter 5). The top significant CpG, cg06690548, was located in solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11 ), part of the amino-acid transporter cystine:glutamate antiporter system xc-, which is involved in biosynthesis of the endogenous antioxidant glutathione (GSH). Additional Bonferroni-significant CpGs were located in ANKS3, LINGO3, CSNK1D, and ADAMTSL4. We identified one FDR-significant DMR (chr11:2,322,050-2,323,247) including the open reading frame C11orf21 and tetraspanin 32 (TSPAN32 ). Mediation of the association between in utero As exposure and birth outcomes by cord blood DNA methylation was assessed in a Bangladeshi birth cohort. In the discovery phase (N = 44), the association between maternal water As levels and gestational age was fully mediated by DNA methylation of the top 10 CpGs associated with both variables. In a discovery phase (N = 569), there were significant indirect effects of maternal water As levels on gestational age through DNA methylation of miR124-3 and MCC ; the indirect effect through DNA methylation of GNAL was not significant (Chapter 6). In an adjusted SEM including miR124-3 and MCC, mediation of the association between in utero As exposure and gestational age by DNA methylation of miR124-3 was borderline significant (P = 0.06); DNA methylation of MCC did not act as a mediator. We also assessed mediation by DNA methylation of DNMT3A (Chapter 7). In an adjusted SEM including birth weight and gestational age, there was a significant indirect effect of maternal toenail As levels on gestational age through DNMT3A methylation, the indirect effect on birth weight was borderline significant (P = 0.082). However, the indirect effects of maternal toenail As levels on birth weight through all pathways including gestational age were statistically significant. A doubling in maternal toenail As concentrations had a total effect of a decrease in gestational age of 2.1 days and a decrease in birth weight of 28.9 g. Conclusions: Results from FACT (Chapters 3 and 4) provide evidence of the associations between OCM-related nutrients and As methylation capacity. Specifically, FA and creatine supplementation may increase As methylation capacity by increasing the availability of SAM, and treatment effects may be greater among individuals with low betaine and choline status, respectively. In addition, results reported in Chapters 5-7 support the hypotheses that chronic As exposure is associated with epigenetic dysregulation, and that changes in the epigenome may mediate the association between As exposure and adverse health effects. Findings from the research presented here may help inform public health interventions to reduce the adverse health effects of chronic As exposure. However, further research is needed to fully understand the biological mechanism that influence As methylation and that underlie the associations between chronic As exposure and adverse health outcomes.

Annotation:
Inorganic arsenic exposure is a well-known toxicant of which we are still discovering harmful effects. People are exposed to inorganic arsenic in the environment through either drinking arsenic-contaminated groundwater or consuming arsenic-contaminated food. Regarding global public health, drinking water is still the most important source of inorganic arsenic exposure and is the main focus of this work. The overall goal of this dissertation is to answer some pointing epidemiological questions about exposure to inorganic arsenic: How much do we know about inorganic arsenic and non-malignant lung disease in the general population? To what extent are adolescents with lifetime arsenic exposure susceptible to the respiratory consequences seen in adults? And what actions can be taken to effectively reduce exposure from arsenic-contaminated drinking water? First, we conducted a systematic review of 29 peer-reviewed articles from various populations around the world. The review focused on the different ways in which arsenic is associated with respiratory health to help inform policy makers and public health researchers on the existing evidence. In short, associations between arsenic and respiratory health were noted throughout the lifespan: in infancy, there was growing evidence that in utero arsenic exposure was associated with increased frequency and severity of respiratory tract infections; in childhood, evidence of respiratory symptoms also began to appear; and in adulthood, there was consistent evidence that arsenic exposure was associated with deficits in lung function and increased reports of coughing and breathing problems. The review also uncovered some research gaps, including few studies with strong exposure history from early life and few studies examining respiratory effects during adolescence. Next, we used a life course epidemiological approach to create a more precise understanding of arsenic exposure and respiratory health during the teenage years. This study examined the relationship between lifetime arsenic exposure and lung function in 14-17 year olds, thus studying the period of maximal lung function before natural decline. Overall, higher arsenic exposure was associated with lower lung function levels; however, these associations were only observed in males. This study used a sensitive marker of lung function to investigate early signs of small airway disease. Incorporating this common marker of small airway disease and airflow limitation in future studies on arsenic and respiratory health may help clarify how inorganic arsenic contributes to the development of chronic respiratory disease. Lastly, we evaluated the effectiveness of arsenic removal filters at the household-level in rural Bangladesh. Identifying sustainable ways of reducing exposure to arsenic from naturally contaminated groundwater has been a major environmental health challenge. Although lab-approved arsenic removal water filters exist, there was limited evidence of their prolonged efficacy in the field. To our knowledge, this was the largest and longest deployment of filters accompanied by monitoring of urinary arsenic. Our results demonstrated that filters can temporarily reduce arsenic exposure for weeks to a few months, but should not be considered as a long-term arsenic mitigation option. This failed attempt to reduce exposure confirmed that alternative mitigation strategies need to be employed in Bangladesh, particularly among more vulnerable populations, including pregnant women and young children. This dissertation has important policy implications for future arsenic research and mitigation efforts and should be effectively communicated to policy makers, public health officials, and the general population. Given the pervasive nature of arsenic exposure and the growing evidence of health consequences at different stages throughout the life course, the continued integration of information on inorganic arsenic and research collaborations across disciplines is critical for the prevention and mitigation of arsenic-induced health consequences.

Recent population growth and economic development are extending the problems associated with land degradation, pollution, urbanization, and the effects of climate change over large areas of the earth’s surface, giving increasing cause for concern about the state of the environment. Many problems are most acute in tropical, equatorial, and desert regions where the surface environment is particularly fragile because of its long history of intense chemical weathering over geological timescales. The speed and scale of the impact of human activities are now so great that, according to some authors, for example, McMichael (1993), there is the threat of global ecological disruption. Concern that human activities are unsustainable has led to the report of the World Commission on Environment and Development Our Common Future (Barnaby 1987) and the establishment of a United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development responsible for carrying out Agenda 21, the action plan of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Considerable research into the global environment is now being undertaken, especially into issues such as climate change, biodiversity, and water quality. Relatively little work has been carried out on the sustainability of the Earth’s land surface and its life support systems, however, other than on an ad-hoc basis in response to problems such as mercury poisoning related to artisanal gold mining in Amazonia or arsenic poisoning as a result of water supply problems in Bangladesh (Smedley 1999). This chapter proposes a more strategic approach to understanding the distribution and behavior of chemicals in the environment based on the preparation of a global geochemical baseline to help to sustain the Earth’s land surface based on the systematic knowledge of its geochemistry. Geochemical data contain information directly relevant to economic and environmental decisions involving mineral exploration, extraction, and processing; manufacturing industries; agriculture and forestry; many aspects of human and animal health; waste disposal; and land-use planning. A database showing the spatial variations in the abundance of chemical elements over the Earth’s surface is, therefore, a key step in embracing all aspects of environmental geochemistry. Although environmental problems do not respect political boundaries, data from one part of the world may have important implications elsewhere.

Abstract Following Tantawan field suspension of production, considerable volume of contaminated crude (high level of mercury and arsenic content) remains on board in Tantawan FPSO. These volumes are deemed as waste hydrocarbon sludge that hold no commercial value and must be urgently removed from the vessel as per safety requirements to maintain the vessel class and certification, according to Tantawan FPSO integrity condition. After review of many alternatives, offshore subsurface disposal initiative is the safest and most cost-effective means for disposal. Since subsurface disposal of such waste, highly mercury and arsenic contaminated crude, has never been performed in the Gulf of Thailand, several aspects need to be considered from technical and environmental perspective and public sector concerns. A cross functional team of Reservoir Engineer, Geologist, Facilities Engineer, Health and Safety, Policy, Government and Public Affair and commercial advisor, has co-devised a holistic waste management plan to inject waste into Tantawan reservoirs after obtaining required approvals by the government. Many challenges including limitation of the FPSO pumping system, sludge properties and seasonal increment weather, were encountered during the execution phase and many remedial actions were taken to mitigate their impact. Cross functional team initiatives on heater installation, adjusting injection procedure, and additional disposal well approval helped address project challenges. Entire volume of sludge was safely injected to subsurface reservoirs with cost effective operation. The success of this offshore injection process has reduced the cost to less than 10% compared to onshore disposal option to asset joint venture. The results set a new standard for Thailand petroleum waste management policy. Following this success, decommissioning of all remaining of Tantawan field are progressing as scheduled. This paper will outline the holistic approach of hydrocarbon sludge management process including the subsurface injection identifcation, stakeholder engagement, environmental impact assessment and execution challenges. Lessons learned from this paper would help other offshore operators to effectively manage hydrocarbon sludge, which demonstrate how the oil and gas industry plays a vital role in protecting the environment.

Covid-19 and the response and mitigation efforts taken to contain the virus have triggered a global crisis impacting on all aspects of life. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic for forcibly displaced persons (refugees, internally displaced persons and asylum seekers) extends beyond its health impacts and includes serious socioeconomic and protection impacts. This rapid review focuses on the available evidence of the socioeconomic impacts of the crisis on forcibly displaced persons, with a focus where possible and relevant on examples from countries of interest to the Covid Collective programme: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ghana, Iraq, Kenya, Malawi, Pakistan, Rwanda, South Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Yemen, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
