1Including calculated arsenic trioxide equivalent of output of elemental arsenic compounds other than arsenic trioxide
where inclusion of such materials would not duplicate reported arsenic trioxide production.
2World totals and estimated data have been rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.
3Table includes data available through April 1, 2007.
4Austria, Hungary, the Republic of Korea, Serbia and Montenegro (union dissolved in 2006), South Africa, Spain, Ukraine,
the United Kingdom, and Zimbabwe have produced arsenic and/or arsenic compounds in previous years, but information
is inadequate to make estimates of output levels, if any.
5Reported figure.
6Output of Empresa Minera del Centro del Per� (Centrom�n Per�) as reported by the Ministerio de Energ�a y Minas.
