Dangerous on contact with acids, acid fumes, water or stream. It will produce toxic and flammable vapors of CN-H and sodium
oxide. Contact with acids and acid salts causes immediate formation of toxic and flammable hydrogen cyanide gas. When
heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes hydgrogen cyanide and oxides of nitrogen
Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards: Fusion mixtures of metal cyanides with metal chlorates, perchlorated or nitrates
causes a violent explosion
