Resumen

La presencia de Arsénico en agua de consumo humano se ha vuelto un problema se salud pública a nivel mundial. En México, se ha reportado la exposición a este contaminante en diferentes estados de la república, y se ha asociado con diversas afectaciones a la salud.

Utilizando la base de datos científica PubMed, se introdujeron las palabras clave Arsénico, Agua y México a fin de recopilar los estudios existentes sobre las concentraciones de Arsénico en agua en diferentes sitios de la república, así como de los efectos en la salud de poblaciones mexicanas expuestas.

 Después del análisis se encontró asociación con enfermedades metabólicas y cardiopulmonares, así como la presencia de indicios de daño renal y al ADN.

Todo esto muestra la necesidad de contar con estrategias de remoción y, sobre todo, políticas públicas más estrictas y aplicables que puedan ayudar a mejorar la salud pública en nuestro país.
