Testing health impacts in adults from smoky, arsenic-exposed homes
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study follows adults who took part in an earlier GEOHEALTH study and live in homes that use traditional stoves, with low-to-moderate arsenic exposure in drinking water. It aims to understand how these environmental factors affect health, and what changes might be possible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
