It is primarily used in the semiconductor and electronics industries, as well as in metallurgy, where it plays a role in the refining of metals.
Arsine is extremely dangerous even at low concentrations, as it can cause severe haemolysis (destruction of red blood cells) and damage to the kidneys. Exposure to arsine gas may result in symptoms such as headaches, nausea, vomiting, and confusion, progressing to more serious health effects like jaundice, shortness of breath, and, in severe cases, death.
