Arsenic Exposure and Toxicology: A Historical Perspective

TL;DR: The mode of action of arsenic for its disease endpoints is currently under study, and two key areas are the interaction of trivalent arsenicals with sulfur in proteins and the ability of arsenic to generate oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute and chronic arsenic toxicity

TL;DR: There are no evidence based treatment regimens to treat chronic arsenic poisoning but antioxidants have been advocated, though benefit is not proven, and there is increasing emphasis on using alternative supplies of water.
