Physical character:
Trivial colourless needle-like or tilted shape crystal. There be no bad smell, taste bitter, relative density 1.68. Easy to dissolve in water, is tiny dissolve in alcohol and glycerin. Easy efflorescence become powder in the air (dry), losing all of its crystal water become magnesium sulfate anhydrous when heating, this product does not contain any deleterious foreign substance

Healthy damage: The product dust has stimulate effect to the mucous membrane, touch long time be able to arouse pneogaster inflammation. Eat by accident can arouse diarrhea, if the person whose nephridium dysfunction can cause magnesium toxicosis, arouse the stomachache, vomitus, collapse, decompensation and so on.
Entironment damage: Have damage to the environment, may bring about the aqueous contaminating.
Burst danger: The product no burning, has pungency.

Eating: Drink the enough amounts of warm water, emetic. Go to hospital.

Fire protection step:
Dangerous character: Self can not burning. The deleterious gas be sent out by high temperature decomposition.
Harmful combustion produce: Oxide sulfur, magnesia.
Method of cutting out fire: The fire department must wear fireproof, gas defense clothes from head to foot, fighting fire on the windward. When cutting out fire, move the container from fire-ground to the open place as far as possible.
