It will readily be understood that traces of arsenic are found in many plants and plant products, and consequently may be assimilated by animals and man. If the quantities of arsenic present are considerable, as they may be when artificial application of insecticidal dust or sprays (see p. 301) has been resorted to, an important problem arises owing to the physiological action of arsenical compounds (see p. 289). The element has been detected in the ashes of many plants,12 and in wood charcoal.13 Amounts up to 0-025 part As in 100,000 have been found14 in many vegetables and nuts fruits generally contained less, 0-005 to 0-012, while mushrooms contained 0-006 part per 100,000. Almonds, red haricot beans, lettuce and celery were richest in arsenic, with...
