A poisonous element whose chemical symbol is as residue may be found in tobacco smoke as a result of some pesticides used in the growing of tobacco has the odor of garlic.<\/p>\n
A chemical element which forms poisonous compounds such as arsenic trioxide and which was formerly used in some medicines.<\/p>\n
A metabolic poison. Arsenic is a mineral that may be essential in ultra-small amounts and is regarded by some scientists as a possible essential ultra trace element<\/p>\n
Arsenic is a micromineral most often thought of as a potentially lethal substance. Within the diet, arsenic is particularly rich in seafood, but is also found in trace quantities in grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy foods, meat, and eggs. The essentiality of arsenic has been an area of controversy, but it appears to have a role in the metabolism of amino acids such as methionine and arginine.<\/p>\n
A toxic substance found in the blood and urine; elevated levels indicate arsenic poisoning.<\/p>\n
A poisonous chemical element used in dyes and agriculture. Arsenic is a gray metallic element that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, numbness, seizures, coma, and death when consumed in large quantities. Arsenic was used widely as rat and ant poison and on flypaper in the 19th century when it was used for deliberate poisoning more often than any other deadly poison. At that time, it was\u00a0difficult to detect arsenic in the body.<\/p>\n
A poisonous grayish metallic element producing the symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, convulsions, and coma when ingested in large doses. Drugs used as antidotes to arsenic poisoning include dimercaprol. Arsenic was formerly used in medicine, the most important arsenical drugs being arsphenamine (Sal varsan) and neoarspbenamine, used in the treatment of syphilis and dangerous parasitic diseases.<\/p>\n
A metalloid with industrial use in glass, wood preservative, herbicide, semiconductor manufacture, and as an alloy additive. It may be a component in alternative or traditional remedies, both intentionally and as a contaminant. Common in the environment and in food, especially seafood, arsenic is highly toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin contact. Clinical effects of acute poisoning range from severe gastrointestinal effects to renal impairment or failure, characterised by oliguria, haematuria, proteinuria\u00a0and renal tubular necrosis. Shock, coma and convulsions are reported, as are jaundice and peripheral neuropathy. Chronic exposures are harder to diagnose as effects are non-specific: they include gastrointestinal disturbances, hyperpigmentation and hyperkeratosis of skin, localised oedema, alopecia, neuropathy, paraesthesia, hepatomegaly and jaundice. Several chelating agents\u00a0are effective in treatment: these include DMPS (2, 3-dimercapto-1-propane-sulphonate), penicillamine and dimercaprol; DMPS is now agent of choice.<\/p>\n
Arsenic is a toxic metallic element that exists naturally in both its pure form and various compounds. While cases of arsenic poisoning are now rare, in the past, it occurred primarily due to prolonged industrial or pesticide exposure.<\/p>\n
