Prenatal exposure to arsenic in drinking water and type 1 diabetes in a nationwide population-based cohort of Danish children
To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the association between prenatal arsenic exposure from drinking water and T1D. We found that low levels of arsenic during pregnancy increased risk of T1D in public supply users, highlighting arsenic as a potential modifiable risk factor for T1D.
