Re: Arsenic ingestion from well water associated with increased risk of lung cancer

I don't care what the source of this statement is, the statement isn't true.  Ingested arsenic has never been shown to be a carcinogen. Occupational exposure to inhaled arsenic has shown that inhaled aresenic can be carcinogenic in high enough concentration. 



incidentally, the last issue of Consumers' reports made the same error.
