| TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Not combustible. Gives
off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. |
In case of fire in the
surroundings: all extinguishing agents allowed. | |
| EXPLOSION | |||
 | |||
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT DISPERSION
OF DUST! AVOID ALL CONTACT! |
IN ALL CASES CONSULT
A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Abdominal pain.
Confusion. Diarrhoea. Dizziness. Drowsiness. Headache. Vomiting. Loss of
muscular coordination. Paralysis. Symptoms may be delayed (see Notes).
|
Closed system and
ventilation. |
Fresh air, rest. Refer
for medical attention. |
| Skin | Skin disorders (Further
see Inhalation). |
Protective gloves.
Protective clothing. |
Remove contaminated
clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical
attention. |
| Eyes | Safety goggles or eye
protection in combination with breathing protection. |
First rinse with plenty
of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible),
then take to a doctor. | |
| Ingestion | Difficulty in
swallowing. Abdominal pain. Confusion. Diarrhoea. Dizziness. Dullness.
Headache. Vomiting. Loss of muscular coordination. Paralysis (further see
Inhalation). |
Do not eat, drink, or
smoke during work. |
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
| Sweep spilled substance
into sealable containers. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Carefully collect
remainder, then remove to safe place (extra personal protection: complete
protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus).

|
| IMPORTANT DATA | |
| PHYSICAL STATE;
APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS SOLID IN VARIOUS FORMS. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating or producing toxic fumes including arsenic (see ICSC # 0013). OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: See Notes. |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |
| Melting point
(decomposes): 160°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.76 Solubility in water: poor |
|
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
| NOTES | |
| Depending on
the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated. The
symptoms of systemic arsenic poisoning do not become manifest until hours
after the exposure. |
