'''Cacodylic acid''' is |
'''Cacodylic acid''' is an [[organoarsenic compound]] with the [[chemical formula|formula]] (CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>[[Arsenic|As]]O<sub>2</sub>H. With the formula R<sub>2</sub>As(O)OH, it is the simplest of the [[arsinic acids]]. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in water. |
||
Neutralization of cacodylic acid with base gives '''cacodylate''' salts, e.g. '''sodium cacodylate'''. They are potent [[herbicide]]s. Cacodylic acid/sodium cacodylate is a [[buffering agent]] in the preparation and fixation of biological samples for [[electron microscopy]] and in [[protein crystallography]]. |

It is remarkable that when one is exposed to the smell of these compounds the tongue becomes covered with a black coating, even when no further evil effects are noticeable".</blockquote> |

Cacodylic acid and its salts were incorporated into [[herbicide]]s by a large variety of manufacturers under numerous brand names. APC Holdings Corp. sold cacodylic acid and its salts under the [[Agent Blue|Phytar]] brand name.<ref name="Greene2005">{{cite book|author=Stanley A.

Cacodylic acid is highly toxic by ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. Once thought to be a byproduct of inorganic arsenic detoxification, it is now believed to have serious health consequences of its own. It has been shown to be [[teratogenic]] in rodents, most often causing cleft palate but also fetal fatality at high doses. It has been shown to be genotoxic in human cells, causing [[apoptosis]] and also decreased DNA production and shorter DNA strands. While not itself a strong carcinogen, cacodylic acid does promote tumors in the presence of carcinogens in organs such as the kidneys and liver. |

Cacodylic acid is highly toxic by [[ingestion]], [[inhalation]], or skin contact. The U.S. EPA states that all forms of arsenic are a serious risk to human health and the United States [[Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry]] ranked arsenic as number 1 in its 2001 Priority List of Hazardous Substances at Superfund sites.<ref name="EPA1">{{cite web |url=https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncer_abstracts/index.cfm/fuseaction/display.highlight/abstract/6015 |title=Biogeochemistry of Arsenic in Contaminated Soils of Superfund Sites |last1=Dibyendu |first1=Sarkar |last2=Datta |first2=Rupali |date=2007 |website=EPA |publisher=United States Environmental Protection Agency |access-date=25 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200317143949/https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncer_abstracts/index.cfm/fuseaction/display.highlight/abstract/6015 |archive-date=17 March 2020 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Arsenic is classified as a Group-A [[carcinogen]].<ref name="EPA1"/> |
