While arsenic is most well known as a poison - and indeed the contamination of groundwater by arsenic is becoming a major health problem in Asia - it also has uses for the treatment of blood cancer and has long been used in traditional chinese medicine. Antimony and bismuth compounds are used in the clinic for the treatment of parasitic and bacterial infections.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBiological Chemistry of Arsenic, Antimony and Bismuth\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential overview of the biological chemistry of these three elements, with contributions from an international panel of experts.
