The element Arsenic was discovered in pre history, and has use in hardening bronze. [And in modern times, the lead plates in auto batteries.] As to where, the Mesopotamian civilizations knew of this material, and the element may be obtained from the sulphide mineral by simple roasting. It is toxic to life forms, and finds use in timber preservatives, and pest sprays. The timber preservation application is coming under an increasing cloud due to soil contamination, and this is not compatible with registered organic food production.
