Useful:
- Chemical Classes:Nitrogen Compounds -> Nitrates and Nitrites
- Canonical SMILES:CCCO[N+](=O)[O-]
- Inhalation Risk:A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20 °C.
- Effects of Short Term Exposure:The substance is irritating to the respiratory tract, eyes and skin. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.
