| Abstract |
Information is presented for these inorganic azides: barium-azide (18810587), cesium-azide (22750578), hydrazoic-acid (7782798), lead-azide (13424469), lithium-azide (19597694), potassium-azide (20762601), rubidium-azide (22756361), silver-azide (13863882), and sodium-azide (26628228). The data given for each compound includes chemical structure, synonyms, chemical and physical properties, production information, uses, manufacturers and distributors, manufacturing processes, impurities and additives, occupational exposures, control technology and work practices, biological effects, ongoing studies, exposure standards, and sources of additional information. Humans who have suffered accidental exposures experienced inflammation of the mucous membranes and eye irritation. Necrosisan demyelination of nerve fibers were reported among mice and monkeys following acute intraperitoneal and subchronic intramuscular exposures, respectively. Subchronic oral exposure to rats caused histological cerebral and liver damage. Mutagenicity testing was positive for sodium-azide in a variety of assays. |
