Subject: Risk Assessment/Lab Safety Plans-Work with Organoarsenic and
Organoselenium Compounds
Hi,
 
Please excuse the cross-posting but I'm having trouble rooting through the 
numerous rat studies...

If you have researchers doing bench-scale research synthesizing organoarsen
ic and/or organoselenium compounds, I would really appreciate any 
literature citations that deal with toxicity, safe handling, spill 
cleanup, overall risk assessment and (last but not least) in-lab handling 
SOP's.  We're not talking about working with a 1-liter roundbottom, 
probably more on the order of generating 1-10 grams of final product.  

I'm reading through Promed, HSDB has a section on arsenic compounds that I 
am reading, but if there is someplace that has it all neatly wrapped up 
and tied with a bow--or even has some good sections on toxicity and safe 
handling--I would really appreciate the reference.

Many thanks,
Margaret
