  • First Aid: Signs and Symptoms of Sodium Selenite Exposure: Signs and symptoms of acute sodium selenite exposure include the following: garlic odor on breath, drooling, nasal irritation and burning sensation in nostrils, vomiting, hypotension, dizziness, and poor reflexes. Pulmonary edema, cardiopulmonary arrest, and coma are possible complications. Contact with sodium selenite often results in skin irritation and burns.; Emergency Life-Support Procedures: Acute exposure to sodium selenite may require decontamination and life support for the victims. Emergency personnel should wear protective clothing appropriate to the type and degree of contamination. Air-purifying or supplied-air respiratory equipment should also be worn, as necessary. Rescue vehicles should carry supplies such as plastic sheeting and disposable plastic bags to assist in preventing spread of contamination.; Inhalation Exposure:; 1. Move victims to fresh air. Emergency personnel should avoid self-exposure to sodium selenite.; 2. Evaluate vital signs including pulse and respiratory rate, and note any trauma. If no pulse is detected, provide CPR. If not breathing, provide artificial respiration. If breathing is labored, admini Source: CAMEO Chemicals

  • Health Effects: Chronic oral exposure to high concentrations of selenium compounds can produce a disease called selenosis. The major signs of selenosis are hair loss, nail brittleness, and neurological abnormalities (such as numbness and other odd sensations in the extremities). Animal studies have shown that selenium may also affect sperm production and the female reproductive cycle. (L619) Source: Toxin and Toxin Target Database (T3DB)
  • Toxicity Summary: Selenium readily substitutes for sulfur in biomolecules and in many biochemical reactions, especially when the concentration of selenium is high and the concentration of sulfur is low. Inactivation of the sulfhydryl enzymes necessary for oxidative reactions in cellular respiration, through effects on mitochondrial and microsomal electron transport, might contribute to acute selenium toxicity. Selenomethionine (a common organic selenium compound) also appears to randomly substitute for methionine in protein synthesis. This substitution may affect the structure and functionability of the protein, for example, by altering disulfide bridges. Inorganic forms of selenium appear to react with tissue thiols by redox catalysis, resulting in formation of reactive oxygen species and causing damage by oxidative stress.

  • Environmental Bioconcentration: The BCF values observed for selenium selenite in carp (Cyprinus carpio) after 28 days exposure at 10 and 1 ug/L concentrations were <8.1-10 and <85, respectively(1). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Selenite (Se(IV)) is soluble, but can strongly adsorb to soil minerals and organic material(1). In soils, inorganic selenium compounds can be methylated by microorganisms and subsequently volatilize to the atmosphere(2,3); dimethylselenide and dimethyl diselenide are the principal products(3). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: In aqueous solution, over the pH range of 3 to 9, the biselenite species predominates; at pHs >9, selenite is the major species(1). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
