D001151	Arsenic	A shiny gray element with atomic symbol As, atomic number 33, and atomic weight 75. It occurs throughout the universe, mostly in the form of metallic arsenides. Most forms are toxic.

D020261	Arsenic Poisoning	Disorders associated with acute or chronic exposure to compounds containing ARSENIC (ARSENICALS) which may be fatal.
