• colourless gas with an unpleasant smell; cylinderwill be marked with red/yellow bands at valve end to denote ebc_product sare both flammable and toxic
• Hazard Symbols:
• Narcotic in high concentrations. Flammable, explosive limits in air 12–28.5%.
• Safety:
• Poison by intraperitoneal route. Mildly toxic by inhalation. Narcotic in high concentration. An irritant. May liberate highly toxic hydrogen sulfide upon decomposition. A very dangerous fire hazard and moderate explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Can react vigorously with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, stop flow of gas or use CO₂, dry chemical, or water spray. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of CO. See also CARBONYLS and SULFIDES.Details
