Biological and environmental hazards associated with exposure to chemical warfare agents: arsenicals [PDF]

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2016
Arsenicals are highly reactive inorganic and organic derivatives of arsenic. These chemicals are very toxic and produce both acute and chronic tissue damage. On the basis of these observations, and considering the low cost and simple methods of their bulk syntheses, these agents were thought to be appropriate for chemical warfare. Among these, the best‐
