Abstract
Arsenic is natural metalloid which is present in the universe everywhere. It is used for
different insecticides and pesticides preparation. Poisoning of arsenic is a major issue
that affects different species. Its occurrence is related to contamination of feed and
water; therefore, it is matter of concern globally. However, its level of toxicity is
increasing very rapidly in Asian countries especially Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.
Its increasing level of arsenic in ground water is the major source of poisoning to human
and animals. In addition, the contact of animals to arsenic lead to absorption body and
accumulation in vital organs like liver and kidneys that may resulted to carcinogenic
development. Elimination of absorbed arsenic in environment through excretions of
animals is also one way to increase its level in water/soil. The objective of this review
is to gather the information about arsenic toxicity occurrence by natural or
experimentally ways and changes occurred in suffered animals related to pathological
or biochemical.
