Poison by ingestion. Questionable carcinogen with experimental neoplastigenic and tumorigenic data. Flammable by spontaneous chemical reaction. An oxidizer. Explodes when heated >130° or when exposed to organic acids. Dangerous; heating emits toxic fumes and may explode; reacts with reducing materials. See also CHENOPODIUM OIL and PEROXIDES, ORGANIC.
