Here's the question again:

In order to show that health problems were caused by arsenic exposure,
WHAT
WOULD NEED TO HAPPEN?


Gee - How about evidence that there's a problem?

Not hypothetical's. Not emotional responses that arsenic is dangerous thus
all
uses of it must be banned. Not anecdotal stores about a friends neighbors
cousin
saw a kid on the deck next door licking the railing.

Hard evidence that a significant number of kids are dying or even affected
by
long term illness when arsenic is used as a wood treatment on outdoor
decking.



Bingo. Now, one of you geniuses can explain why it would be unlikely that
kids in a country like this would reach the stage where they'd be sick
enough to become a statistic.
