Re: [BKARTS] nitrophenol

["Jack C. Thompson" <tcl@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is one from the past, if you mean p-nitrophenol.  It is highly
toxic and should not be handled outside of a lab where dangerous chemicals
are regularly handled and where safety material/equipment is present.

Accidental exposure can lead to hpyerthermia and central nervous system
depression.

I'd treat it as toxic waste and dispose of it the next time your town
has a free toxic waste dump day.
