A new study to mention?
A new study in India on Arsenic contamination says no arsenic level considered ‘safe’ by combining for the first time brain imaging scans, intellectual tasks, and urine arsenic analysis in people below 25 years from five Indian sites.

What does glassy mean?
In the physical characteristics section black arsenic is described as “glassy”, what does that mean?
”It is glassy and brittle. Black arsenic is also a poor electrical conductor.” Ombabsail (talk) 17:24, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- Like a glass. Polyamorph (talk) 06:46, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- I have found out what it should mean, it means that it is non crystalline, also known as amorphous supposedly.
- left is to edit that section in physical characteristics to make it more clear or replace the word glassy with amorphous as a better solution. Ombabsail (talk) 22:23, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
SOLUBILITY! Where is it?
Wow, an entire page on an element with no mention of what solvents this element and it's main compounds are soluble in.
Does nobody care? 2600:6C46:6800:3322:4846:CCD0:7AAA:EADC (talk) 15:25, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- The solubility of arsenic compounds is discussed under "Inorganic compounds" and "Agricultural" uses. Elemental arsenic itself is insoluble but it does not appear in the elemental form often enough for the solubility to be relevant to any major discussion in the article.

- এটি আপনার ভাষায় প্রশ্নের জন্য ভুল ওয়েবসাইট। হয়ত পরিবর্তে এই নিবন্ধটি চেষ্টা করুন?

NFPA 704 Diamond for arsenic
Can someone please add an NFPA 704 diamond for arsenic? There isn’t one in the NFPA data 2603:8080:D03:89D4:B181:97B6:1811:48B (talk) 02:20, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's been added under the "Toxicity" section, Reconrabbit 14:06, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
