| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
white solid | [General Description]
A white crystalline mass. Mildly toxic. Not combustible but accelerates burning of combustible materials. May explode in a fire if in large quantities or if the combustible material is finely divided. Toxic oxides of nitrogen are produced in fires. Mildly radioactive. Radioactive materials emit certain rays detectable only by instruments. Minimal radiation hazard in transport. No protective shielding for packages is required. | [Hazard]
Dangerous fire and explosion risk in contact
with organic materials, strong oxidizing agent.
Radioactive. | [Reactivity Profile]
Mixtures of metal/nonmetal nitrates with alkyl esters may explode, owing to the formation of alkyl nitrates; mixtures a nitrate with phosphorus, tin (II) chloride. or other reducing agents may react explosively [Bretherick 1979 p. 108-109]. With water forms a weak solution of nitric acid, the reaction is not hazardous. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Somewhat soluble in water. | [Health Hazard]
Compound has low chemical toxicity, but alpha emission is expected to constitute a hazard if a fairly large amount is inhaled or ingested. Dust may irritate eyes and cause diffuse dermatitis. Beta and gamma emission is small. |

7 | [Safety Profile]
Poison by
intraperitoneal, intravenous, and
intratracheal routes. Moderately toxic by
ingestion. Experimental reproductive
effects. Radioactive. An oxidizing material;
when in contact with readily combustible
substances will cause violent combustion or
ignition. When heated to decomposition it
emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also
