Public Water Arsenic and Birth Outcomes in the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes Cohort

In this cohort study of birthing parent-infant dyads across the US, arsenic measured in public water systems was associated with birth outcomes at levels below the current US Environmental Protection Agency's maximum contaminant level. The findings suggest that further reducing the maximum contaminant level for arsenic may decrease the number of infants with low birth weight in the US.

Abstract

In this cohort study of birthing parent-infant dyads across the US, arsenic measured in public water systems was associated with birth outcomes at levels below the current US Environmental Protection Agency's maximum contaminant level. The findings suggest that further reducing the maximum contaminant level for arsenic may decrease the number of infants with low birth weight in the US.
