Agenda:

 

Arsenic Information: 

 

 Arsenic does not follow the book. It is an environmental toxicant, but often unrelated to industrial sources. It is a metal, but its metabolism involves organic modifications. It is an indisputable human carcinogen, but is largely negative in typical animal models of chemical carcinogenesis and its carcinogenic mechanism of action is a topic of great scientific debate. Oh, and by the way, arsenic is an excellent, anti-cancer pharmacological agent.

 

Great starting point for classroom discussion
