| Abstract | Potential occupational arsenic exposure is a significant problem in smelting plants. The metabolites containing arsenic with an oxidation of +3 have been considered more cytotoxic and genotoxic than their parent inorganic species. The current study examined the capacity of arsenic methylation and its risk on skin lesions. The primary aim of this study is to determine if methylation capacity, as measured by urinary arsenic metabolites, differed in workers with skin lesions compared to workers without skin lesions. Hydride generation-atomic absorption spectrometry was used to determine three arsenic species in urine of workers who had been working in arsenic plants, and primary and secondary methylation indexes were calculated. Skin lesions were examined at the same time. Many workers had obvious skin lesions (36/91). The mean concentrations of inorganic arsenic (iAs), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) in urine of workers are obviously higher than those of the control group. There are more iAs, MMA, and DMA in urine, higher MMA%, lower iAs% for workers with skin lesions compared with those without skin lesions. Workers with skin lesions have the lowest SMI (3.50±1.21), and they may be in danger. Our results support the viewpoint that individuals who metabolize inorganic arsenic to MMA easily, but metabolize MMA to DMA difficulty have more risk of skin lesions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
