We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between low levels of arsenic in drinking water and skin cancer in U.S. populations. We compared our results to skin cancer incidence rates predicted by the US EPA cancer slope factor for arsenic. The results were provided to EPA and published in the scientific literatu
