**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. May cause cancer. Very toxic
to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the
aquatic environment.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation. May result in corneal injury.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
May cause liver damage. Can cause nervous system damage. Ingestion
of arsenical compounds may cause burning of the lips, throat
constriction, swallowing difficulties, severe abdominal pain, severe
nausea, projectile vomiting, and profuse diarrhea. All soluble
arsenic (As) compounds are considered to be poisonous to humans.
Inorganic arsenic is more toxic than organic arsenic. Organic arsenic
is excreted more rapidly than inorganic arsenic. Arsenic 5+ is
excreted more rapidly than arsenic 3+. Arsenic inhibits enzymes
required for cellular respiration and also competes with phosphorus
for incorporation into ATP, depleting cellular energy stores and
leading to cell death.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause effects similar to
those described for ingestion. Inhalation of arsenic compounds may
lead to irritation of the respiratory tract and to possible nasal
perforation.
Chronic:
Chronic ingestion is characterized by weakness, anorexia,
gastrointestinal disturbances, impairment of cognitive function,
peripheral neuropathy, and skin disorders. Chronic ingestion may
cause fetal effects. Inorganic arsenic compounds may cause skin and
lung cancers in humans.

**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****

Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion:
Call a poison control center. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting
unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:

**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****

General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers.

**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.

**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do
not ingest or inhale. Use only with adequate ventilation or
respiratory protection.
Storage:
Poison room locked.

**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****

Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits. See 29CFR
1910.1018 for regulatory requirements pertaining to all occupational
exposures to inorganic arsenic.
