Toxicity Profile for Arsenic pentoxide (1990)
Abstract
In humans, arsenic pentoxide has caused skin irritation and skin sensitization. It was of high acute oral toxicity to rodents. Chromosomal damage was induced in mammalian cells treated in culture but there was no evidence of mutagenicity in Ames bacterial tests. Inorganic arsenic compounds as a generic class are carcinogenic to man, producing lung and skin cancer.
What are Toxicity Profiles?
Toxicity Profiles are comprehensive, yet concise, monographs on the hazard potential of individual chemicals.
They are written by scientists specially trained in the evaluation of toxicity data and are prepared principally from primary information sources.
