Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes. Refer for medical attention .
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
This material is highly toxic by inhalation; a very short exposure to small quantities may cause death or permanent injury. Arsine is the most powerful hemolytic poison encountered in industry. (EPA, 1998)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
no data available
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Cool containers that are exposed to flames with water from the side until well after fire is out. Isolate for 1/2 mile in all directions if tank car or truck is involved in fire. Let small fires burn. Use water spray, fog, or foam for large fires. For massive fire in cargo area use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (EPA, 1998)
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Container may explode in heat of fire. When heated to decomposition, emits highly toxic fumes. Can react vigorously with oxidizing materials. May explode when exposed to chlorine, nitric acid, or potassium plus ammonia. On exposure to light, moist arsine decomposes quickly, depositing shiny black arsenic. (EPA, 1998)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Shut off supply; if not possible and no risk to surroundings, let the fire burn itself out. In other cases extinguish with powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: gas-tight chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Remove all ignition sources. NEVER direct water jet on liquid. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.

SECTION 9: Physical and chemical properties and safety characteristics
-
Physical state：
Gaseous.
-
Colour：
Arsine is a colourless, flammable, and highly toxic gas. It has a garlic-like or fishy odour that can be detected at concentrations of 0.5 ppm and above. Because arsine is not irritating and produces no immediate symptoms, persons exposed to hazardous levels may be unaware of its presence. It is generally shipped in cylinders as a liquefied compressed gas. Arsine gas is generated when metals or crude ores containing arsenic impurities are treated with acid. Arsine gas is also used in the semiconductor industry when depositing arsenic on microchips.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Decomposes on heating and under the influence of light and moisture. This produces toxic arsenic fumes. Reacts with strong oxidants. This generates explosion hazard. May decompose explosively on shock, friction or concussion.
Arsine (SA) reacts with strong oxidants, causing an explosion hazard.Arsine (SA) decomposes on heating and under the influence of light and moisture, producing toxic arsenic fumes.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
The gas is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. As a result of flow, agitation, etc., electrostatic charges can be generated.,Vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along the ground and collect and stay in poorly-ventilated, low-lying, or confined areas (e.g., sewers, basements, and tanks).Hazardous concentrations may develop quickly in enclosed, poorly-ventilated, or low-lying areas. Keep out of these areas. Stay upwind.ARSINE decomposes into its elements (arsenic, gaseous hydrogen) when heated to 300°C. Can form accidentally by the reaction of arsenic impurities with mineral acids (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid) in the presence of common metals (iron, zinc). A reducing agent---not oxidized by air at room temperature [Kirk-Othmer, 3rd ed., Vol. 3, 1978, p. 251], but may react vigorously with other oxidizing agents [Sax, 9th ed., 1996, p. 279]. Moderately explosive in combination with chlorine or nitric acid. When heated to decomposition or ignited, it emits highly toxic fumes of metallic arsenic.
Conditions to avoid
