Abstract:

It's believed that everyone is familiar with arsenic trioxide. It has been one of the most famous poisons since ancient time. Because of this, it is largely unfairly described. In this article, we combine research results with clear chemical knowledge and terms, in order to prove that arsenic trioxide can also be useful in human life and production.

Key words: Arsenic trioxide, Poison, Testing method, Production application
