Arsenic (As) is an odourless, tasteless metalloid widely distributed in Earth’s crust. It is unevenly distributed and hence some places have much higher arsenic concentrations than others due to weathering and anthropogenic activities. Arsenic is often associated with mineral ores like gold and its concentration is also high at hotsprings and other geothermal sources. Arsenic poisoning or arsenicosis can cause major health complications, such as skin damage and cancers of lung and bladder, and could also cause death.
