| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Symptoms include burning in the throat, colicky pains in the stomach, garlicky odor of the breath, shortness of breath with pain in the chest, nausea and diarrhea. Possible risk of irreversible effects. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Inhalation, Ingestion, skin |
| Eye Contact: | May cause severe irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | May cause irritation of the skin, ulceration, spotty pigmentation, dermatitis and skin cancer.. |
| Inhalation: | May be severely irritating to the nose and respiratory tract. May induce perforation of the nasal septum and cause arsenic poisoning |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion may lead to nausea, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness, low blood pressure, shock, coma and death. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Salty taste, burning in the throat, colicky pains in the stomach and intestines, and garlicky odor of the breath, urine, and sweat. In persons exposed to sufficient arsenical dust, the onset of illness is usually characterized by difficult or short breath with pain in the chest, followed by nausea and diarrhea. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Blanching or flushing of the skin (especially of the fingers), cirrhosis of the liver, atrophy of the bone marrow, kidney damage, and loss of sensory and motor functions have been reported. About 6 weeks after exposure to cacodylic acid, white bands may appear across the toe and finger nails. Possible risk of irreversible effects. |
