TL;DR: Exposure to arsenic in drinking water during early childhood or in utero has pronounced pulmonary effects, greatly increasing subsequent mortality in young adults from both malignant and nonmalignant lung disease.
Fifty-year study of lung and bladder cancer mortality in Chile related to arsenic in drinking water.

TL;DR: The long latency pattern is noteworthy, with mortality from lung and bladder cancers continuing to be high until the late 1990s, even though major decreases in arsenic exposure occurred more than 25 years earlier.
Acute Myocardial Infarction Mortality in Comparison with Lung and Bladder Cancer Mortality in Arsenic-exposed Region II of Chile from 1950 to 2000

TL;DR: Investigation of mortality from 1950 to 2000 in the arsenic-exposed region II of Chile found that increased mortality peaked in 1991-1995, with estimated excess deaths related to arsenic exposure constituting 10.9% of all deaths among men and 4.0% among women.
Mortality in young adults following in utero and childhood exposure to arsenic in drinking water.
TL;DR: It is concluded that arsenic in Antofagasta drinking water has resulted in the greatest increases in mortality in adults < 50 years of age ever associated with early-life environmental exposure.
Lung, bladder, and kidney cancer mortality 40 years after arsenic exposure reduction
TL;DR: Lung, bladder, and kidney cancer mortality due to arsenic exposure have very long latencies, with increased risks manifesting 40 years after exposure reduction, suggesting that arsenic in drinking water may involve one of the longest cancer latencies for a human carcinogen.
