Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores arsenical residues found on fruits and vegetables following spraying with arsenate of lead, a common pesticide used in the early 20th century. The author examines the potential danger of human poisoning from consuming produce with these residues, conducting experiments on guinea pigs to determine the toxic properties of arsenate of lead. The book also delves into broader questions about the safety of using pesticides and the long-term effects of consuming small amounts of arsenic. Through a series of carefully designed experiments, the author sheds light on the potential risks associated with arsenical residues and provides valuable insights for understanding the complex relationship between human health and the use of pesticides in agriculture.
