Cesium nitrate - Safety
Open Data Verified Data
rats were intraperitoneally injected with LDso:1.2g/kg. It has a stimulating effect on the eyes, skin, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Can make the animal's nerve, muscle excessive excitation. This substance may be harmful to the environment and has an accumulation effect in groundwater. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat source. Packaging requirements are sealed, moisture-proof, sunscreen. Should be stored separately from reducing agent, flammable, combustible, phosphorus, sulfur, etc. Mixed storage and transportation should not be avoided.
