Just thought you might be interested to know that there is a
Conserve O Gram, Number 2/3, from July 1993 entitled  "Arsenic
Health And Safety Update". It has information on the health related
effects, handling, storage, and use precautions,and procedures for
identification of arsenic.

Conserve O Gram can be found at
