English to Spanish: Bangladesh: 77m poisoned by arsenic in drinking water General field: Other Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - English Bangladesh: 77m poisoned by arsenic in drinking water
Nearly 90% of Bangladeshis use groundwater
Up to 77 million people in Bangladesh have been exposed to toxic levels of arsenic from drinking water in recent decades, according to a Lancet study.
The research assessed nearly 12,000 people in a district of the capital Dhaka for over a period of 10 years.
More than 20% of deaths among those assessed were caused by the naturally occurring poisonous element, it found.
The World Health Organization said the exposure was "the largest mass poisoning of a population in history".
It began after hand-pumped wells were installed in the 1970s to tap groundwater.
Scientists say even small amounts of arsenic over a long period can cause cancer of the bladder, kidney, lung or skin.
Bangladesh was chosen for the study because nearly 90% of the population uses groundwater as its primary source of fresh water.
Translation - Spanish Bangladesh: 77 millones de personas intoxicadas por agua contaminada con arsénico
Casi el 90% de los bangladesís consumen agua de pozo.
En décadas recientes, hasta 77 millones de personas en Bangladesh han ingerido niveles tóxicos de arsénico presente en el agua potable, según un estudio de la revista médica Lancet.
La investigación llevada a cabo en un distrito de Dacca, la capital, evaluó aproximadamente 12 000 personas en un periodo de 10 años y determino que más del 20% de las muertes ocurridas en el grupo estudiado fueron causadas por la presencia natural en el agua de este elemento venenoso.
La ingestión de arsénico, que comenzó con la instalación de pozos de agua potable en los años 70, fue calificada por La Organización Mundial de la Salud como la “mayor envenenamiento poblacional en la historia”.
Los científicos advierten que incluso pequeñas concentraciones de arsénico si se ingieren por un largo período de tiempo, pueden ocasionar cáncer de vejiga, de riñón, de pulmón o de piel.
Se escogió Bangladesh para este estudio debido a que el agua potable que consume casi el 90 % de la población proviene de los pozos.
