Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Dust may irritate eyes. Ingestion or severe exposure by inhalation can cause burning of throat and mouth, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea with hemorrhage, dehydration, jaundice, and collapse. (USCG, 1999)

If material involved in fire: Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire (material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty). Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Use "alcohol" foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Potassium arsenate, solid
Excerpt from ERG Guide 151 [Substances - Toxic (Non-combustible)]: 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. (ERG, 2016)
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Vacuum with specialist equipment (See Notes) or carefully sweep into containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Stay upwind. Use water spray to "knock down" dust /contain runoff/. Isolate and remove discharged material. Notify local health and control agencies.
Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from acids and food and feedstuffs. Well closed. Dry. Do NOT store or transport in containers made from metal. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.Protect container against physical damage. Store in well ventilated area away from food or food products and combustible materials.

5 mg/cu m (as AS); NIOSH considers arsenic (inorganic cmpd, as As) to be a potential occupational carcinogen. Arsenic (inorganic cmpd, as As)
Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes. Reacts with acids. This produces toxic arsine gas (see ICSC 0222). Attacks many metals such as iron, aluminium and zinc in the presence of water. This produces toxic fumes of arsenic (see ICSC 0013) and arsine gas (see ICSC 0222).

Not flammableSalts, basic, such as POTASSIUM ARSENATE, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH's greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of strong bases and the neutralization of amines.

No reactivity with water
When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of arsenic.

Classification of carcinogenicity: 1) evidence in humans: sufficient; 2) evidence in animals: limited. Overall summary evaluation of carcinogenic risk to humans is Group 1: Carcinogenic to humans. NOTE: This evaluation applies to the group of chemicals as a whole and not necessarily to all individual chemicals within the group. Arsenic and arsenic compounds

The substance is irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. Ingestion could cause effects on the gastrointestinal tract. This may result in severe gastroenteritis, loss of fluids and electrolytes, cardiac disorders and shock. Exposure far above the OEL could cause death. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.
The substance may have effects on the skin, mucous membranes, peripheral nervous system, bone marrow and liver. This may result in pigmentation disorders, hyperkeratosis, perforation of the nasal septum, neuropathy, anaemia and liver impairment. This substance is carcinogenic to humans. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxicity to human reproduction or development.
A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
