Arsine blood agents exposure

Arsenical Blood Agents are gases or solids. Gases are colorless with a mild garlic-like odor. Effects from cumulative exposure may occur at levels below tlie odor threshold. Solids produce arsine gas (AsH,) when they come into contact with moisture. 

Arsenical Blood Agents are incompatible with strong oxidizers and various metals (e.g., aluminum, copper, brass, nickel). Arsenical Blood Agents may decompose on exposure to light to produce hydrogen gas and arsenic metal. Solid agents will react with water to form arsine gas (ASH3).
