larynxand bronchi, chemical pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema.
Symptoms of exposure may include burning sensation, coughing,
wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and
vomiting. To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical,
and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly
investigated.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
Multiple Routes: Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed

through skin.
12 - Ecological Information
No data available.
13 - Disposal Considerations
SUBSTANCE DISPOSAL
The material should be dissolved in: 1) water, 2) acid solution,
or 3) oxidized to a water-soluble state. Precipitate the material
as the sulfide, adjusting the pH of the solution to 7 to complete
precipitation. Filter the insolubles and dispose of them in a
hazardous waste site. Destroy any excess sulfide with sodium
hypochlorite. Neutralize the solution before flushing down the
drain. Observe all federal, state, and local environmental
regulations.
