What food can turn into arsenic?

Food cannot synthesize arsenic, which is produced by mineral processing. Arsenic trioxide, commonly known as arsenic, has a molecular formula of As2O3, is odorless and tasteless, and its appearance is white creamy powder, so it is called arsenic.

This is a highly toxic by-product from the treatment of certain designated minerals, such as gold mining, high-temperature distillation of arsenopyrite (arsenopyrite) and its white smoke condensation.
