Despite how toxic Arsenic can be it's been used for medicinal applications during Victorian times when it was a popular cure-all tonic when mixed as Potassium Arsenate Dissolved Water. Today it is added to poultry feed to prevent disease and improve weight gain.

Arsenic is also used as a doping agent in semiconductors like gallium arsenide for solid-state devices where, it can also be used in bronzing pyrotechnics.

It can be also used to make special types of glass and able to even preserve wood.

Arsenic compounds can be used as pigments in paints, wallpapers and even ceramics.
