    (a) Arsenical compounds in bulk. Care shall be exercised in the 

loading and unloading of ``arsenical dust'', ``arsenic trioxide'', and 

``sodium arsenate'', allowable to be loaded into sift-proof, steel 

hopper-type or dump-type motor-vehicle bodies equipped with water-proof, 

dust-proof covers well secured in place on all openings, to accomplish 

such loading with the minimum spread of such compounds into the 

atmosphere by all means that are practicable; and no such loading or 

unloading shall be done near or adjacent to any place where there are or 

are likely to be, during the loading or unloading process assemblages of 

persons other than those engaged in the loading or unloading process, or 

upon any public highway or in any public place. Before any motor vehicle 

may be used for transporting any other articles, all detectable traces 

of arsenical materials must be removed therefrom by flushing with water, 

or by other appropriate method, and the marking removed.

    (b) [Reserved]

    (c) Division 2.3 (poisonous gas) or Division 6.1 (poisonous) 

materials. The transportation of a Division 2.3 (poisonous gas) or

interconnection between packagings.

or required to bear a POISON or POISON INHALATION HAZARD label or 

placard in the same motor vehicle with material that is marked as or 

known to be foodstuffs, feed or edible material intended for consumption 

by humans or animals unless the poisonous material is packaged in 

accordance with this subchapter and is:

    (i) Overpacked in a metal drum as specified in Sec. 173.25(c) of 

this subchapter; or

    (ii) Loaded into a closed unit load device and the foodstuffs, feed,

INHALATION HAZARD label in the driver's compartment (including a sleeper 

berth) of a motor vehicle; or

    (3) Bearing a POISON label displaying the text ``PG III,'' or 

bearing a ``PG III'' mark adjacent to the POISON label, with materials 

marked as, or known to be, foodstuffs, feed or any other edible material 

intended for consumption by humans or animals, unless

the package containing the Division 6.1, Packing Group III material is 

separated in a manner that, in the event of leakage from packages under 

conditions normally incident to transportation, commingling of hazardous 

materials with foodstuffs, feed or any other edible material would not 

occur.
