Biotransformation hazardous organic compounds

Toxicity of the various arsenic compounds in mammals extends over a wide range, determined in part by unique biochemical actions of each compound, but also by absorbability and efficiency of biotransformation and disposition. Overall, arsines present the greatest toxic hazard, followed closely by arsenites (inorganic trivalent compounds). Inorganic pentavalent compounds are somewhat less toxic that arsenites, while the organic (methylated)...
