"Lead arsenate (PbHAsO4) was first used as an insecticidal spray in 1892 against the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (Linnaeus), in Massachusetts," explains the study. "...

Arsenic is toxic to humans, but these microbes live and breathe it

When microbes present in aresenate-contaminated environments run out of oxygen, they activate a mechanism that turns them into arsenate-respiring organisms. This anaerobic mode of respiration allows them to convert arsenate into arsenite, a more toxic and water-soluble form of inorganic arsenic . "...

Why doesn't USDA's seal of 'certified organic' check for heavy metals?

Some ways that people come into contact with arsenate include: gardening, digging, children playing, eating without washing hands and face, and eating unwashed vegetables grown in these soils.

Is this Chinese fern the key to preventing arsenic poisoning?

These are: - PvGAPC1, which has a high affinity with arsenate ion - PvGSTF1, which helps break down arsenic - PvOCt4, which controls the transfer of compounds These three compounds are necessary for the brake fern to properly process arsenic. ... Once inside these vesicles, the arsenic breaks down to release arsenate, which PvGSTF1 further reduces to arsenite and stores the fern’s vacuoles. "...
