Use only chemical protective clothing that has undergone material and construction performance testing against arsenic vesicant agents. Reported permeation rates may be affected by solvents, components, or impurities in munition grade or modified agents. 

Munition grade agents are typically colorless but can be yellow to brown and may contain crystallized decomposition products. Odors vary from mildly pleasant to harsh and irritating. 

Munition grade metal carbonyls are typically yellow to dark-red liquids. Production impurities and decomposition products may cause the agents to darken and give them additional odors. 

Munition grade agents typically consist of at least one malodorant agent (10-90%) and an odor intensifier (0.5-5%) dissolved in a liquid carrier. Solvents include volatile hydrocarbons, plant/vegetable oils, and water. Solvents typically pose minimal toxic hazards themselves. Compositions are typically colorless to yellow liquids. As the agent ages and decomposes it may discolor and become brown.
