General Description

2-Amino-4-arsonobenzoic acid is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C7H8AsNO4. It is also known as p-arsanilic acid and is a derivative of 4-arsonobenzoic acid. 2-amino-4-arsonobenzoic acid is used as a feed additive in some countries to control parasitic infections in animals, particularly in poultry farming. However, its use has been banned in many countries due to concerns about its potential to contaminate food and water sources and its toxicity to humans and other animals. It is considered to be a highly toxic compound and is classified as a Category I toxin by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Exposure to 2-amino-4-arsonobenzoic acid can lead to a variety of health concerns, including gastrointestinal distress, liver and kidney damage, and potential carcinogenic effects.
