Inhalation | Burning sensation. Cough. Shortness of breath. Chest pain. Headache. Sore throat. Dizziness. Weakness. (See Ingestion). Symptoms may be delayed (see Notes). | Local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. |
Skin | Dry skin. Redness. Skin burns. Pain. Blisters. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention. |
Eyes | Redness. Pain. Severe deep burns. Conjunctivitis. | Safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. |

IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance WHITE OR TRANSPARENT LUMPS OR CRYSTALLINE POWDER. Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure Effects of long-term or repeated exposure |
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Sublimation point: 193°C Melting point: 275-313°C Relative density (water = 1): 3.7-4.2 Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 1.2-3.7 |
The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms. This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to birds, fish and mammals. |
NOTES | Physical properties depend on crystalline form of the substance. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. The symptoms of acute poisoning appear 1/2 to 1 hour after the exposure but may be delayed many hours. No odour warning if toxic concentrations are present. Do NOT take working clothes home. The recommendations on this Card also apply to inorganic trivalent arsenic compounds (arsenites). Card has been partly updated in October 2005. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, EU classification, Emergency Response. |
