<unk>  is a metalloid and will react as a metal and nonmetal
Shares many similar properties with arsenic
Used to treat leishmaniasis and schistosomiasis
Most reported cases are due to complication of treatment
Most common forms used for treatment are trivalent and pentavalent compounds
Additional exposure occur from industrial exposures as inhalation of<unk>  dusts or fumes during processing<unk>  is thought to exert its toxic effects due to inactivation of various thiol-containing proteins and enzymes

Colorless gas that is formed when<unk>  reacts with hydrogen
Can result when mixing drain cleaners containing sodium hydroxide in areas with<unk>  ore
Can result in massive hemolysis

Absorption
Inhalation
Ingestion
Transcutaneous
Bioavailability is 15-50%
Distribution
Predominately in highly vascular organs
Trivalent form seen in red blood cells
Pentavalent form accumulates in the liver
Metabolism
Pentavalent form is converted to trivalent form in the liver
Excretion
Trivalent form undergoes enterohepatic recirculation
Renal
Trivalent has a slow elimination with approximately 10% cleared within the first 24 hours
Pentavalent will have approximately 50-60% cleared within the first 24 hours
