Deposit of enough arsenic to kill everyone on earth was recently found.

A mine in yellowknife discovered deposits of arsenic trioxide dust totaling to about 237,000 tonnes which is enough to kill everyone on earth. They say that The dust was a by-product of gold extraction that occurred at the mine from 1948 to 2004. It resulted in an arsenic-rich gas that was captured as dust and stored in underground chambers.

    Your thread title is misleading. It says that there's enough arsenic in a deposit found to kill everyone on earth, but then in the actual OP you say arsenic trioxide. Which is it, arsenic or arsenic trioxide?? They're completely and utterly different chemicals... Also it can't kill everyone on earth. Arsenic can't be absorbed through the skin only through the air. So unless you're talking about the arsenic trioxide, rather than arsenic, then that's not possible... Never mind, arsenic trioxide is a solid as well, not a gas. I was thinking sulphur trioxide.
