How to make contact with sodium nitrite for industrial use
If it is heated to 320 DEG above decomposition, generating oxygen, nitric oxide and sodium oxide. Contact organics are flammable and explosive. Because of its salty and cheap price, it is often used as an improper substitute for salt in the manufacture of illegal food, because sodium nitrite is poisonous and contains food of industrial salt, which is very harmful to human beings and carcinogenic.
Sodium nitrite (NaNO), is an inorganic salt with sodium nitrite and ionization generation.

Sodium nitrite is salty and is used to make fake salt. Sodium nitrite is exposed to air and reacts with oxygen to form sodium nitrate.
Sodium nitrite itself is not toxic, but sodium nitrite formation of nitrosamines in organic reactions in the body and in the body, this is a carcinogenic effect, first to wear protective gloves during use, with masks, wash their hands after operation can be.
