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

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed.Hygroscopic.

Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Effects of contact may be delayed. 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 gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. Ingestion of arsenical compounds may cause burning of the
lips, throat constriction, swallowing difficulties, severe abdominal
pain, severe nausea, projectile vomiting, and profuse diarrhea. May
be harmful if swallowed. Ingestion of arsenic compounds can produce
convulsions, coma, and possibly death within 24 hours.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Effects of inhalation may be
delayed. May cause irritation of the mucous membranes. Inhalation of
arsenic compounds may lead to irritation of the respiratory tract
and leading to possible nasal perforation. Long-term exposure to
arsenic compounds may produce impairment of peripheral circulation.
Chronic:
May alter genetic material.

**** 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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Get medical aid immediately. Wash mouth out with water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Antidote:
None reported.

**** 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. Substance is nonflammable. Containers may explode
when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use straight streams of water. For small fires, use dry
chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray. Cool containers with
flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. For large
fires, use water spray, fog or regular foam.

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

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a
suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Avoid generating
dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.

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

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use with
adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before reuse.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Keep containers tightly closed. Store protected from
moisture. Do not store near fertilizers, seeds or insecticides.

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

Engineering Controls:
Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Personal Protective Equipment

Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR
1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a
NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator
when necessary.
