Arsenic is a natural element that is present in soil due to the breakdown of rocks that contain arsenic. There are a number of human activities that have contributed to increases in arsenic concentrations in soil such as use of fertilizers, pesticides, treated wood, and fallout of air releases from coal burning, copper smelting and other industrial manufacturing processes.
