Persistent effects of early-life arsenic exposure in Caenorhabditis elegans

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate the long-term effects of early-life arsenic exposure on organisms and their descendants.
• Utilized Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism to study arsenic exposure effects.
• Exposed organisms to varying arsenic levels during developmental stages.
• Assessed transgenerational effects through subsequent generations.
• Demonstrated persistent toxic effects in descendants of exposed organisms.
• Identified alterations in reproductive and developmental outcomes across generations.
