NOTES |
---|
In combination with even small amounts of alcohol the substance causes effects on cardiovascular and central nervous systems resulting in flushing, palpitation, hypotension and hyperventilation. The effects may be delayed. Commercial calcium cyanamide is a crystalline substance which contains trace amounts of calcium carbide which may produce acetylene in production vessels or containers. Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water. UN 1403: Calcium Cyanamide with more than 0.1% calcium carbide. |
