Safety

Poison by intravenous route. Inhalation can cause hypotension and methemoglobinemia. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. Explosive in the form of vapor when exposed to heat or flame. A shock-sensitive explosive. It can be desensitized by the addition of 1–2% propane, butane, chloroform, dimethyl ether, or diethyl ether. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NO_x. Used as a fuel ignition promoter, chemical intermediate, and in the manufacture of rocket fuels. See also NITRATES and ESTERS.
