Abstract:

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 re

Abstract:

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, peri

Abstract:

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 relationshi

Abstract:

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 uri

Abstract:

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-maligna

Abstract:

Elevated concentrations of arsenic in groundwater pose a public health threat to millions of people worldwide. While arsenic is an established human carcinogen, a mode of action has yet to be determined for arsenic carcinogenesis. However, the oxidative stress and DNA repair pathways have been implicated in arsenic toxicity and have been hypothesized to underlie arsenic carcinogenesis. To date, few epidemiologic studies have evaluated genetic susceptibility to arsenical skin lesions based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in antioxidant enzyme or DNA repair genes.

Abstract:

Millions of villagers in Bangladesh drink water which exceeds the Bangladesh arsenic (As) standard of 50 micrograms per liter. Exposure to elevated levels of inorganic As (As) is associated with cancers of the skin, bladder, and lung, developmental effects, cardiovascular disease, skin lesions, and decreased children's intellectual functioning. Arsenic mitigation typically involves an outsider coming into a village to test the well water for As. After the results of the As test are provided this person typically leaves the village without providing the resources to address health concerns or g

Abstract:

In rural Bangladesh people drink water from an estimated 10-11 million tube wells, many with arsenic concentrations well above the national standard of 50µg/L. Characteristic skin lesions and more serious health effects are probable. The research reported here was designed to determine the relation between arsenic concentration and skin lesions on hands and feet controlling for education, use of tube well water, protein consumption and body mass index (BMI). The investigation included a well survey, a prevalence survey and a nested case-referent analysis. Studies were conducted in two villages

Abstract:

Background: Environmental exposure to inorganic arsenic (InAs) is a considerable worldwide problem, and over 57 million people in Bangladesh have been chronically exposed to arsenic-contaminated drinking water. Ingested inorganic arsenic (InAs) undergoes hepatic methylation generating monomethyl- (MMAs) and dimethyl- (DMAs) arsenic species in a process that facilitates urinary As (uAs) elimination. Of these three metabolites (InAs, MMA and DMA), MMA the most toxic, InAs is the second most toxic, and DMA is the least toxic. Consequently, increased MMAs is associated with increased risk of

This dissertation examines topics related to development, environment and health in developing countries using empirical methods. In the first chapter, I study how developing countries can increase enforcement to reduce subsidy leakage in public programs, by investing in the state capacity to target program beneficiaries. This chapter further attempts to understand how the formal sector and black market respond to a policy that reduces diversion of a subsidized commodity. I explore these questions using the case of a Unique ID-based direct fuel subsidy transfer policy in India. Second chapt

Abstract:

Reducing population exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs), a known carcinogen and highly toxic metalloid of great public health concern, remains an ongoing challenge worldwide and in the United States (US). In the US, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for total arsenic in public drinking water supplies through the Safe Drinking Water Act. In 2001, the US EPA implemented the Final Arsenic Rule, which lowered the MCL for arsenic in public drinking water supplies from 50 to 10 µg/L. Reductions in iAs exposure and subsequent related disease assoc

Abstract:

This dissertation discusses three questions of development and environmental economics. First, it assesses the impact of mineral mining on the health and wealth of households in local communities across 44 developing countries, using micro data. Secondly, it presents evidence from a randomized controlled trial on the cost-shared provision of well-water tests for arsenic. Finally, it analyzes measurement error in a satellite night light data product widely used in development research, and investigates the scope for using the data in very high spatial resolution.
