Copper arsenate（Cat No.:M053507）, is a blue-green compound that historically was used as a wood preservative and insecticide due to its toxicity to fungi and insects. It contains copper and arsenate ions, the latter being derived from arsenic acid. Due to its arsenic content, copper arsenate poses significant environmental and health risks, leading to strict regulations and a decline in its use, particularly in residential applications. Currently, it is primarily of interest for its historical context and potential remediation in environments contaminated by past uses.
