RT null T1 Inorganic Arsenic Compounds other than Arsine Health and Safety Guide - Health and Safety Guide 70 A1 United Nations Environment Programme, A1 World Health Organization, A1 International Labour Organisation, K1 health K1 arsenic K1 toxic substance K1 health hazard K1 chemical SN 92 4 151070 6 YR 1992 FD 1992 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/29623 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/29623 NO Arsenic compounds are often unstable, and in many cases are not well defined materials. For example, the arsenites of the alkali metals are slowly converted in solution to arsenates, by atmospheric oxygen. Arsenic trisulfide reacts vigorously with oxidizing agents, and hydrogen sulfide is generated on contact with strong acids. Arsenic trichloride is highly reactive with water, strong oxidants, ammonia, and some alkalis; the reaction results in the generation of hydrogen chloride and chlorine gas.
