To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.
The following applies to arsenic and its compounds in general: they take effect as capillary and enzyme toxins. Symptoms of arsenic poisoning: acute: after inhala- tion, mucosal irritations with coughing, dyspnoea, pain in the thorax. Perforations within the respiratory tract are possible. After oral uptake, gastrointestinal disor- ders with vomiting, diarrhoea, and spasms, CNS disorders with headache, confu- sion, shaking fits and disturbed consciousness, cardiovascular disorders all the way to circulatory collapse. Chronic: exanthema, dermal lesions in the form of hyper- keratosis and hypermelanosis, loss of hair, conjunctivitis and polyneuropathy, im- paired hepatic function, and renal damage. After accumulation in the liver, kidneys, and skin, arsenic is eliminated from the organism only slowly. Experience has shown arsenic compounds to be carcinogenic in man.
The following applies to azo dyes in general: azo dyes containing a carcinogenic ar- yl amine component are suspected of possessing a carcinogenic potential. It is therefore recommended that the substance be handled as if it possessed the prop- erties of the basic amine.
