Arsenic has been feared for centuries—known as the “inheritance powder,” a poison without taste, smell, or trace. It shaped murders, politics, and even the rise of forensic science. But the real story is far more complex.

Arsenic is also a natural part of Earth’s chemistry. It travels through rocks, groundwater, and soil. Some microorganisms can even use arsenic instead of phosphorus to survive in extreme environments. And in modern medicine, arsenic trioxide is now used to treat leukemia, saving lives where other treatments fail.

This video explores arsenic’s dual identity—from deadly poison and environmental threat to cutting-edge semiconductor technology and cancer therapy. Arsenic reminds us that every element carries both danger and possibility… and that nature is rarely simple.
