Safety Profile
Poison by inhalation and intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. An eye irritant. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. Flammable when exposed to heat or flame. Can react vigorously with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical, water spray, mist, fog. When heated to decomposition and on contact with acid or acid fumes it emits highly toxic fumes of SOx. See also SULFIDES and MERCAPTANS.
