arsenate
Poisonous chemical compound
Arsenate is a chemical compound containing arsenic and oxygen, typically combined with a metal.
Arsenates were once widely used in pesticides and wood preservatives before their toxicity led to restrictions.
Lead arsenate was sprayed on orchards for decades.
The term appears in chemistry and environmental science contexts.
