What is another word for lead arsenate?
Pronunciation: [lˈiːd ˈɑːsənət] (IPA) 
Lead arsenate is a toxic chemical compound that was commonly used as a pesticide and insecticide from the late 19th to mid-20th century. It was used to control a range of pests including potato beetles, codling moths, and boll weevils. As lead arsenate is now banned due to its toxic effects, several synonyms have emerged in its place. These include calcium arsenate, lead orthoarsenate, and lead (II) arsenate. While these alternatives may have similar properties, they too pose environmental and health risks. As such, it is important to be aware of the potential hazards associated with these compounds and to explore sustainable, non-toxic pest control methods.
