**** 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:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be fatal if absorbed through 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 be fatal if swallowed. Poison by ingestion. Causes
gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and 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+.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. 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.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Inorganic
arsenic compounds may cause skin and lung cancers in humans.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
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:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
**** 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 noncombustible.
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. Wear a self contained breathing
apparatus and appropriate personal protection. (See Exposure
Controls, Personal Protection section). Avoid generating dusty
conditions. Provide ventilation. Evacuate unnecessary personnel.
U.S. regulations require reporting spills and releases to soil, water
and air in excess of reportable quantities. Do not let this chemical
enter the environment.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Do not get in eyes, on
skin, or on clothing. Do not breathe dust. Use only with adequate
ventilation or respiratory protection. Change contaminated clothing
promptly. Do not take working clothes home.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
Store protected from moisture.
**** 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. See 29CFR 1910.1018 for regulatory
requirements pertaining to all occupational exposures to inorganic
arsenic.
