Demystify: 

Good Afternoon/Evening,

 

What safeguards are needed to dispose of a bottle of potassium thiocyanate which broke open (presumably, from moisture absorption/deliquescence) in a lab refrigerator?  Someone said there is a possibility of release of a toxic gas and recommended use of a respirator.

 

Thank you!

 

Ruth Ann
