Arsenic is
a chemical element that has three allotropic
forms; yellow, black and grey. It is famous for its toxicity and is a
notorious poison.
Arsenic kills organisms (including but not only, people)
by preventing the proper action of an enzyme called lipothiamide
pyrophosphate.
This leads to death
due to
multi-system
organ failure. Both
the element arsenic, and arsenic compounds,
are considered to be toxic and dangerous for the environment.
One well-known use of arsenic is as a rat poison.
