TL;DR: Concern remains regarding soil arsenic concentrations and fugitive emissions from the plant that could be contributing to exposure of the local population and of the workforce and whether the coal burnt in the plant, and consequently the emissions from it, contained raised levels of six further heavy metals.

TL;DR: An excess NMSC risk for environmental arsenic exposure was found from a coal-burning power plant in Slovakia, and no interaction was found between arsenic exposure and dietary and residential data.

TL;DR: There was a significant but weak association between As in soil and urinary Assum and the methylation index Asinorg/(MMA + DMA) was about 20% lower among cases (p < 0.05) and in men and women compared with controls and females, respectively.

TL;DR: A coal-burning power station in the Nitra Valley in central Slovakia annually emitted large quantities of arsenic between 1953 and 1989, but since then pollution-control measures have reduced arsenic emissions to less than 2 tonnes a year.
