Isolate from any source of heat or ignition. Avoid storage on wood floors. Separate from incompatibles, combustibles, organic or other readily oxidizable materials. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Aqueous solution is neutral.
Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage. Emits nitrous oxides when heated to decomposition. Fibrous organic material such as jute, wood, and similar cellulosic materials can become highly combustible by nitrate impregnation. Investigated as a tumorigen, mutagen, reproductive effector. No None 12.
