Answer: Arsenic

Step-by-step explanation:. Arsenic, is found in several different chemical forms in paving roads--- arsenic release from asphalt, rocket fuel--- from combustion of fuel causing release of arsenic and carbon monoxide and among the composition of rat poison in different oxidation states,which can lead to toxicity called arsenic poisoning--- which occurs when much arsenic is accumulated in the body causing acute and chronic adverse health effects, from diarrhea to cancer.
