The Editor's Highlight in this issue prepared by Intermin Editor-in-Chief Matthew Campen states that: "Karim and colleagues present a straightforward population-level analysis of the association between arsenic intake (assessed by drinking water levels and buffeted by nail clipping and hair measurements) and several novel markers of cardiovascular disease, namely oxidized low density lipoprotein and vascular cell adhesion molecule. It is unclear whether these outcomes represent simple biomarkers or drivers of pathology. While the study design does not permit the determination of causality or lend insight into the underlying mechanism, it is a clear motivator to better explore these relationships in populations exposed chronically to arsenic at or around levels within current “safe” limits."
