The only widely available compound containing arsenic is Arsenic Trioxide. I guess when you and your family have an extreme deadly amounts of arsenic floating in your system, you become almost obsessed with all the knowledge available. Some very interesting facts about this element, in 1981 the US Environmental Protection Agency approved a five year $1.6 BILLION federal clean up program referred to as a super fund. Priority was given to hazardous waste sites. Pollution via three "pathways" AIR, GROUNDWATER  and SURFACE WATER. One of these sites was actually in North Dakota an arsenic trioxide disposal site. Now from this information you would think this stuff wouldn't be very nice to have floating around the countryside. Arsenic Trioxide reacts with water to form metal hydroxide and methane gas. Just for the fun of it do a quick search and see what it brings up.
