Arsenic: A Global Environmental Challenge.
Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2021 Arsenic is a naturally occurring metalloid and one of the few metals that can be metabolized inside the human body. The pervasive presence of arsenic in nature and anthropogenic sources from agricultural and medical use have perpetuated human exposure to
