https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_azide

Sodium azide is the inorganic compound with the formula NaN3. This colorless salt is the gas-forming component in legacy[citation needed] car airbag systems. It is used for the preparation of other azide compounds. It is an ionic substance, is highly soluble in water and is very acutely poisonous.[5]

Sodium azide, used mainly as a preservative in aqueous laboratory reagents and biologic fluids and as a fuel in automobile airbag gas generants, has caused deaths for decades. Its exposure potential for the general population increases as the use of airbags increase. In order to characterize the known health effects of sodium azide in humans and the circumstances of their exposure, the authors conducted a systematic review of the literature from 1927 to 2002 on human exposure to sodium azide and its health effects. The most commonly reported health effect from azide exposure is hypotension, almost independent of route of exposure. Most industrial exposures are by inhalation. Most laboratory exposures or suicide attempts are by ingestion. Most of the reported cases involved persons working in laboratories. The time between exposure and detection of hypotension can predict outcome. Fatal doses occur with exposures of >or=700 mg (10 mg/kg). Nonlethal doses ranged from 0.3 to 150 mg (0.004 to 2 mg/kg).

What about repeated exposure to micro doses, right inside the nose?

We're talking about potential poisoning here, that's what the warning on the box tells us

Move those goal posts!

People handle dangerous substances every day and most of them never have an incident with them. Most of the time is because the concentrations are too low to be a danger to them. That's by design because you can mitigate the risks by limiting the exposure to below the lethal threshold. Cars can potentially kill their operators so does that make them the same kind of threat as you are projecting for sodium azide? If so you best stop driving cars because they are acutely lethal in you use them incorrectly.

Just admit that you are blowing this shit up to induce fear because you like fear porn. You like people to agree with you that they should be afraid because you get your rocks off from it. You have a fear porn fetish. That's fucking weird, but you brought this on yourself, entirely, by posting this fear porn on a public forum. What could possibly go wrong with that?

>People handle dangerous substances every day and most of them never have an incident with them. Most of the time is because the concentrations are too low to be a danger to them.

Chronic lead poisoning is caused by repeated low-level exposure to lead over a prolonged period of time. Same deal with arsenic, that's poisoning 101. So your argument is invalid.

That's not even an argument, that's just made up fantasies on your part

Sodium azide is "very acutely poisonous", and that's a fact. And the concentration in those kits is high enough to induce health hazards according to the manufacturer. And that's a fact jack

So now you want to back me up on what I said about tetraethyl lead? Talk about moving goal posts.

Source for this claim? What is the concentration, since you seem to know how much sodium azide there is in the test kit? Post your proof that the amount is over the acute toxicity limit.

If the concentration isn't high enough to provoke health hazards then you don't need to "flush with copious amounts of water" the part of your skin that went in contact with it
