The molecular mechanism of phosgene oxime toxicity is unknown. 

No in vitro toxicity studies have been reported. The mechanism of phosgene oxime toxicity is unknown and long-term exposure effects have not been determined. 

Human toxicity values have not been established or have not been published. However, this material is a much less powerful irritant than Phosgene oxime (C05-A001).

Animals should be moved into fresh air. Emesis is not recommended due to the irritant and corrosive effects of phosgene oxime. Dilution with miUc or water is recommended for oral ingestions. Activated charcoal is not recommended as the primary toxicity is a local corrosive... 

Little is known about lewisite s stability in the environment, but it can react with water in a manner whereby its volatility and most of its blistering potency are lost. As a potent blister agent, it has irritant effects on the eyes and respiratory system, and has similar toxicities to the other blister agents mentioned above (except that it exhibits less bone marrow suppression). Similar to its dichloroarsine cousins and phosgene oxime, but unlike the mustard vesicants, it can cause pain at the time of initial contact. There is often no erythema around the vesicles as with other mustard agents. 

Phosgene Oxime is toxic through inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. The effects of the poisoning occur almost...
