Abstract

Epidemiological studies of arsenic have shown that chronic exposure to arsenic can result in an increased incidence of cancer of the lung, skin, bladder and liver. It is impossible that the toxicity study of arsenic in the human, we become to measure in vitro cytotoxicity of inorganic and organic arsenic in the human normal liver cells including Chang Liver and WRL.
