Storage and Handling : |
| |
Sodium Nitrate is hygroscopic. It should be stored in a cool & dry place. Use personal protective equipment to avoid skin contact. Effects of over exposure & acute poisoning may occur with contamination of food & water. Nitrates are converted into Nitrites by reduction in human system, promoting the formation of methaemogobin. Symptoms of Nitrite will occur as Homeopathic injuries & drop in blood pressure.
