AB There  are  two  naturally  occurring  types  of  elemental  phosphorus:  red  and  white.  Red  phosphorus  is  not  well  absorbed  and  has  limited  toxicity.  In  contrast,  white  phosphorus  (also  called  yellow  phosphorus)  is  a  highly  toxic  cellular  poison.  White  phosphorus  is  a  colorless  or  yellow  wax-like  crystalline  solid  with  a  garlic-like  odor  and  is  almost  insoluble  in  water  but  glows  with  exposure  to  air.
