The Facts on Arsenic | Dartmouth Toxic Metals
Humans have produced concentrated sources of arsenic by digging it up, using it, and moving it around. Such activities include mining arsenic-containing ores, and smelting – heating those ores – to extract copper, silver or gold. (Arsenic could be collected, in pure form, from the interior of smelter smokestacks.)
