SYNONYM REFERENCE
- (RTECS, 1990;(Budavari, 1989; EPA, 1985)
USES/FORMS/SOURCES
10,10'-Oxidiphenoxarsine occurs as colorless, monoclinic prisms which are soluble in methylene chloride, chloroform, and alcohol, and are sparingly soluble in water (HSDB , 1993). 10,10'-Oxidiphenoxarsine is a pentavalent arsenic compound. As such, it is less toxic than the trivalent arsenic on an equivalent dose basis; however, all arsenic compounds, regardless of valence, are capable of producing the same effects (Finkel, 1983; Morgan, 1989).
-CLINICAL EFFECTS
GENERAL CLINICAL EFFECTS
- 10,10'Oxydiphenoxarsine (OBPA) is used as an antimicrobial agent and plasticizer in vinyl plastics. At the time of this review, little information was found on its toxic effects. This review is based on the toxic effects of arsenicals in general.
- Acute arsenic poisoning can occur with doses as low as 20 mg in an adult. Symptoms of acute arsenic poisoning include metallic or garlic taste, vomiting, abdominal pain, dysphagia, and watery or bloody diarrhea. Dehydration, intense thirst, fluid-electrolyte disturbances, and hypovolemia are common.
- Hypotension, tachycardia, cardiac dysrhythmias, EKG abnormalities, delerium, encephalopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and liver and kidney damage may also occur. Hemolysis, pancytopenia, and anemia have been caused by acute or chronic arsenic poisoning.
- Chronic occupational arsenic exposure has been associated with hoarse voice, nasal irritation, possible perforation of the nasal septum, irritation of eyes, skin, and mucous membranes, and rarely, cirrhosis of the liver.
- Nausea and vomiting and ulceration of the wrist and scrotal skin, lips, and nostrils may develop with chronic exposure to arsenic dust or vapor. Systemic arsenic poisoning from occupational exposure is uncommon.
- Arsenic exposure has been linked with cancers of the lungs, lymph glands, bone marrow, bladder, kidney, prostate, and liver.
- POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 152 (ERG, 2004)
Highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.
ACUTE CLINICAL EFFECTS
- 10,10'-oxidiphenoxarsine (OBPA) is assumed to have toxic effects similar to other arsenicals. It may be hazardous by the inhalation, dermal, or oral route exposure routes, by analogy with other arsenicals (EPA, 1985).
- OBPA was a severe skin irritant in guinea pigs in the Standard Draize Test (RTECS , 1993).
- Acute arsenic ingestion generally produces symptoms within 30 to 60 minutes, but symptom onset may be delayed for several hours if ingested with food (Morgan, 1989; Sittig, 1985). Greater than 90% of an ingested dose of inorganic arsenic is systemically absorbed, with the rate of absorption being highly dependent on the solubility of the specific compound and the arsenic valence state. A metallic or garlic taste and garlic-like odor of the breath, vomiting, abdominal pain, dysphagia, and profuse watery (rice-like) and sometimes bloody diarrhea may occur (Sittig, 1985; Finkel, 1983; EPA, 1988).
- Dehydration, intense thirst, and fluid-electrolyte disturbances are common (Morgan, 1989). Hypovolemia from capillary leaking ("third spacing" of fluids) is a common early sign (Morgan, 1989; EPA, 1988; HSDB , 1993). Cardiac arrhythmias may occur, but these may be secondary to electrolyte imbalance (Peterson & Rumack, 1977; Goldsmith, 1980; St Peter et al, 1970; Sittig, 1985).
- The primary target organs initially are the gastrointestinal tract, heart, brain, and kidneys (Sittig, 1985; Morgan, 1989; Finkel, 1983; HSDB , 1993). Eventually, the skin, bone marrow, and peripheral nervous system may be significantly damaged (Finkel, 1983; Morgan, 1989; Sittig, 1985; HSDB , 1993). Hemolysis, pancytopenia, and anemia may occur after acute arsenic poisoning (Kyle & Pease, 1965; Kjeldsberg & Ward, 1972).
- MEE'S LINES, transverse white lines in the nails, may be seen after acute exposure. Mee's lines commonly take 5 weeks to appear above the cuticle and advance 1 mm per week afterwards, allowing an approximation of the time of acute exposure (Heyman et al, 1956).
- Permanent encephalopathy may ensue from acute exposure to arsenic compounds. The encephalopathy can result in atrophy of the cortex one to six months after exposure (Fincher & Koerker, 1987), causing loss of many higher functions.
- Peripheral neuropathy of both the sensory and motor type can appear in a similar pattern, regardless of the route of exposure to arsenic compounds (Finkel, 1983). It commonly begins one to 3 weeks following exposure (Le Quesne & McLeod, 1977; Heyman et al, 1956). It usually begins as paresthesias of the soles of the feet, then the hands, progressing proximally over the next few days (Heyman et al, 1956).
- Severe muscle weakness and wasting then develops, causing disability (Le Quesne & McLeod, 1977). It may initially be confused with Guillain-Barre' syndrome (Donofrio et al, 1987). Paresthesias may be painful and are frequently described as severe burning pain in a "stocking and glove" distribution.
- Physical findings of arsenic neuropathy usually include prominently decreased sensation to touch, pinprick, and temperature, frequently in a stocking and glove distribution (Heyman et al, 1956). Loss of vibration sense and profound muscle weakness and wasting, distal more so than proximal, is also observed (Donofrio et al, 1987; Heyman et al, 1956), as are wrist drop, foot drop, and muscle fasciculations (Heyman et al, 1956).
- Arsenic inhibits enzymes required for cellular respiration, and has the effect of depleting cellular energy stores, leading to cellular death (Schoolmeester & White, 1980).
CHRONIC CLINICAL EFFECTS
- One worker chronically exposed to 10,10'-oxidiphenoxarsine and arsenate developed typical dermatologic signs of chronic arsenic poisoning consisting of eczemoid lesions, hyperkeratosis, warts, increased pigmentation, and mucous membrane irritation (Horiguchi, 1979).
- Dichlorophenylarsine, a related compound, has been reported to be an allergen in occupational exposures (Foussereau et al, 1982).
- Workers chronically exposed to arsenic by inhalation and dermal contact have mainly developed a hoarse voice, nasal irritation, and, possibly, perforation of the nasal septum, irritation of eyes, skin, and mucous membranes, and rarely, cirrhosis of the liver (ACGIH, 1986; Finkel, 1983; Sittig, 1985; Proctor et al, 1988; Clayton & Clayton, 1981). Nausea and vomiting are infrequent complaints (Clayton & Clayton, 1981). Painful ulceration of the wrist and scrotal skin, lips, and nostrils may develop with dust exposure (Finkel, 1983; Sittig, 1985).
- Chronic arsenic poisoning involves alopecia and enlarged liver, in addition to the signs and symptoms mentioned in the ACUTE EXPOSURE section (Finkel, 1983). Aplastic anemia has also been described after chronic arsenic exposure (Kjeldsberg & Ward, 1972).
- Arsenic can cause cancer in humans (refer to CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS section for more information).
-MEDICAL TREATMENT
LIFE SUPPORT
- Support respiratory and cardiovascular function.
SUMMARY
- FIRST AID - EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDEBOOK, GUIDE 152 (ERG, 2004)
Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency medical service. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. Keep victim warm and quiet. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
FIRST AID MEASURES - INHALATION EXPOSURE - INHALATION: Move patient to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis. Administer oxygen and assist ventilation as required. Treat bronchospasm with an inhaled beta2-adrenergic agonist. Consider systemic corticosteroids in patients with significant bronchospasm. ACUTE LUNG INJURY: Maintain ventilation and oxygenation and evaluate with frequent arterial blood gases and/or pulse oximetry monitoring. Early use of PEEP and mechanical ventilation may be needed.
DERMAL EXPOSURE - EYE EXPOSURE - DECONTAMINATION: Remove contact lenses and irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of room temperature 0.9% saline or water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist after 15 minutes of irrigation, the patient should be seen in a healthcare facility.
ORAL EXPOSURE - Do not induce emesis. DILUTION: If no respiratory compromise is present, administer milk or water as soon as possible after ingestion. Dilution may only be helpful if performed in the first seconds to minutes after ingestion. The ideal amount is unknown; no more than 8 ounces (240 mL) in adults and 4 ounces (120 mL) in children is recommended to minimize the risk of vomiting. GASTRIC LAVAGE: Consider after ingestion of a potentially life-threatening amount of poison if it can be performed soon after ingestion (generally within 1 hour). Protect airway by placement in the head down left lateral decubitus position or by endotracheal intubation. Control any seizures first. Although arsenic is commonly listed as being effectively adsorbed to charcoal, data are lacking. ACTIVATED CHARCOAL: Administer charcoal as a slurry (240 mL water/30 g charcoal). Usual dose: 25 to 100 g in adults/adolescents, 25 to 50 g in children (1 to 12 years), and 1 g/kg in infants less than 1 year old.
OTHER - After acute arsenic exposure, the primary threats to life are from hypovolemia and cardiac toxicity resulting in arrhythmias or cardiogenic shock. Volume status must be monitored carefully by taking frequent vital signs, following hourly urine output (requires catheterization of bladder), and preferably central venous pressure or cardiac output monitoring. In chronic arsenic poisoning, the most important step is removing the patient from the source of exposure. Details of the evaluation and treatment of arsenical cancers is beyond the scope of this review. Individuals suspected of having arsenic-induced cancers should be evaluated in consultation with an oncologist, surgeon, or other physicians knowledgeable in the treatment of cancer.
-RANGE OF TOXICITY
MINIMUM LETHAL EXPOSURE
The minimum lethal human dose to this agent has not been delineated. One mg/kg of ingested arsenic may be lethal in a child (Woody & Kometani, 1948). As little as 20 mg of arsenic may produce life-threatening toxicity (Zaloga et al, 1970; Schoolmeester & White, 1980; Hutton & Christians, 1983). In general, however, organoarsenicals are less toxic than inorganic arsenic conpounds.
MAXIMUM TOLERATED EXPOSURE
The maximum tolerated human exposure to this agent has not been delineated. AVERAGE HUMAN ARSENIC INTAKE - 250 to 330 mcg/day (in food and water) (Gilman et al, 1985; Baselt & Cravey, 1989).
