EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Not available.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Particles embedded in the skin may cause "chemical gas gangrene"
with symptoms of persistent lesions, inflammation and gas bubbles
under the skin. Exposure to arsenic compounds may produce
hyperpigmentation of the skin and hyperkeratoses of plantar and
palmar surfaces as well as both primary irritation and sensitization
types.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause liver damage.
May cause allergic reaction. May cause blood abnormalities. Ingestion
of arsenical compounds may cause burning of the lips, throat
constriction, swallowing difficulties, severe abdominal pain, severe
nausea, projectile vomiting, and profuse diarrhea. Ingestion of
arsenic compounds can produce convulsions, coma, and possibly death
within 24 hours.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal fume fever,
which is characterized by flu-like symptoms with metallic taste,
fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain, muscle pain and
increased white blood cell count. Inhalation of arsenic compounds
may lead to irritation of the respiratory tract and to possible
nasal perforation. Long-term exposure to arsenic compounds may
produce impairment of peripheral circulation. May cause liver damage.
Chronic:
Prolonged inhalation may cause respiratory tract inflammation and
lung damage. Chronic exposure to arsenical dust may cause shortness
of breath, nausea, chest pains, and garlic odor.
**** 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:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. Get medical
aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
Notes to Physician:
Antidote:
The use of Dimercaprol or BAL (British Anti-Lewisite) as a chelating
agent should be determined by qualified medical personnel.
**** 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire.
**** 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. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion
and inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
