About biological reaction to arsenic

Abstract

In the past, arsenic was often used for the preparation of paints. So, realgar (two-part arsenic) gave red paint, orpigment (three-part arsenic) yellow; Sheelevskaya green (alkaline arsenic salt of honey oxide) and Schweinfurt green (arsenic-acetic-acid honey) were used as green paints. Schweinfurt green was especially often used, due to its beautiful green color and insolubility in water. Lightweight materials for ball dresses, various silk materials, veils, artificial flowers and leaves, children's toys, paper covers for confectionery and food supplies — all this, if it was green, was painted with Schweinfurt greenery.
