Colorless, mobile liquid; becomes yellowish under the action of light and air. Fruitlike odor (high dilution). Decomposed by water. Attacks brass but not iron (dry). Soluble in alcohol, benzene, ether, and water.

A colorless liquid with a fruity biting irritating odor. Vapors irritate eyes and skin. Very toxic by inhalation. Boiling point 168°F. Denser than water and vapors are heavier than air. Vapor pressure 2.3 mm at 71°F.

Reacts with water or moist air to form hydrochloric acid or fumes of hydrogen chloride.

ETHYL DICHLOROARSINE is a reducing agent. Reacts rapidly and dangerously with oxygen and with other oxidizing agents, even weak ones. Likely to ignite on contact with alcohols. Incompatible with acids, alcohols, amines, and aldehydes. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished.

Highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.

Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways.

Toxic by ingestion, inhalation, and skin absorption; strong irritant.

Organoarsenic compound, Organometallic.

If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least 30 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Speed in removing material from skin is of extreme importance. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit. Medical observation is recommended for 24 to 48 hours after breathing overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed. As first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized paramedic may consider administering a drug or other inhalation therapy. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Effects may be delayed; keep victim under observation.

UN1892 Ethyldichloroarsine Hazard class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poison Inhalation Hazard; Inhalation Hazard Zone B. Military driver shall be given full and complete information regarding shipment and conditions in case of emergency. AR 50-6 deals specifically with the shipment of chemical agents. Shipments of agent will be escorted in accordance with AR 740-32

Reacts with water or moist air releasing hydrochloric acid and/or corrosive fumes of hydrogen chloride (HCl). A strong reducing agent; incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, and epoxides. Attacks some metals; brass, but not ferrous metals

Use a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material. Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed.
