There is evidence for a NMSC risk of environmental arsenic exposure from coal-burning for power generation without emission measures, which is supported by

based on current measurement under lower exposure levels
(1) higher arsenic levels in soil samples in the vicinity of the power plant
(2) higher urinary arsenic levels in the vicinity of the power plant

with respect to the nonmelanoma skin cancer incidence
(1) highest incidence among the Slovak districts since registering cancer
(2) within the district: higher incidence in the vicinity of the plant

arsenic exposure assessed from data of the case-control study was associated with an excess risk based on
(1) dietary intake
(2) residential history

Residual confounding can not excluded
(1) emmisions of a nearby chemical plant
(2) occupational exposure
