SAFETY PROFILE：

The safety informatiom of Mercurous chloride (CAS NO.7546-30-7):
Poison by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by skin contact. Mutation data reported. A fungicide. An FDA over-the-counter drug. Incompatible with bromides, iodides, alkali chlorides, sulfates, sulfites, carbonates, hydroxides, lime water, ammonia, golden antimony sulfide, cyanides, copper salts, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, iodoform, lead salts, silver salts, sulfides. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of Cl⁻ and Hg. See also MERCURY COMPOUNDS, INORGANIC; MERCURY COMPOUNDS, ORGANIC.
