A growing body of epidemiologic research has examined the potential associations between contaminants in drinking water and various cancers, with a special emphasis on sources particular concern, including arsenic, asbestos, radon, agricultural chemicals, byproducts hazardous waste sites. Given public health implications, bibliometric analysis literature this field is warranted. This aims to systematically map progression relationship cancer. By identifying emerging trends knowledge gaps, can inform future directions prioritize areas greatest for impact. In study, we employed approach analyze We searched articles all languages published 1939 2023 using Scopus database. To ensure precision our search, validated search strategy relevant keywords related The data included indicators such as citation patterns, publication trends, identification most productive countries institutions field. Finally, used VOSviewer software (version 1.6.20) visualize through network co-occurrence analysis. visualization helped us identify key clusters topics within comprehensive database from yielded 11,703 focusing journal excluding errata retracted documents, set was refined 10,751 publications. majority (91.06%) these were original (n = 9790), while reviews accounted 6.49% 698). United States country that contributed field, contributing 3,268 (30.4%), followed by China 1496; 13.9%), Japan 1358; 12.6%), India 758; 7.1%). Recent (post-2015) focuses assessing carcinogenic pollutant risks, mainly groundwater. contrast, earlier studies often animal human models explore effects chemicals found water. study offers insight into current link Most high-income countries, highlighting need more low- middle-income regions. advance understanding develop effective strategies, further essential. includes improving methods detecting measuring contaminants, well evaluating impact treatment sanitation practices.
