Historic mining in and around the region contaminates the Puyango-Tumbes River Basin, and increases likelihood of chronic heavy metal exposure. The regional government considers anemia a health priority and has solicited support to develop new control strategies. For reasons described above, we aim to characterize anemia and plausible underlying causes in Tumbes, Peru.}, number = {IR}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/qr46r1552}, recid = {9208}, address = {2021}, }
