Description
Arsenic sulfide naturally occurs in yellow (orpiment or arsenic trisulfide: As2S3) and orange (realgar or arsenic disulfide: As2S2) forms and are often found in the same deposits. It was once widely used as a pigment because of its bright rich color. Its extreme toxicity, however, has limited its use and availability.
Synonyms and Related Terms
sulfuro de arsenico (Esp.); sulfure d'arsenic (Fr.); solfuro d'arsenico (It.); sulfureto de arsénio (Port.);
Hazards and Safety
Highly toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Carcinogen and mutagen.
