tl;dr The author visited a university with one of the two copies of a wallpaper sample book. Its danger stems from the arsenic dyes used at the time. The article then relays the history of arsenic dyes and how we came to notice (1847-ish) their effects (akin to lead paint or asbestos).

- Aloha 9y agoArguably Arsenic is more dangerous than lead paid or asbestos, because its much more readily absorbed than either, an unlike asbestos, you needn't disturb it, just be in the room with it.
