| 31. | TRW's two Mesa factories have been plagued by fires, explosions, spills and environmental violations associated with sodium azide wastes.
|
| 32. | Guided missiles must use high-performance motors ( e . g sodium azide cells ) to adjust their course midflight.
|
| 33. | The Mesa plants continue to use sodium azide in air-bag productions, but at reduced levels due to technological improvements.
|
| 34. | The offending chemical, used to activate airbags, was sodium azide _ a substance that sometimes is more explosive than nitroglycerine.
|
| 35. | Some researchers contacted by The Arizona Republic have questioned whether bacteria and sunshine are capable of breaking down sodium azide.
|
| 36. | For example, lead azide, used in detonators, may be prepared from the metathesis reaction between lead nitrate and sodium azide.
|
| 37. | Sodium azide for example may be mutagenic ( and highly toxic ), but it has not been shown to be carcinogenic.
|
| 38. | Betterton recently applied for a National Science Foundation grant to determine if liquid sodium azide can be neutralized by bacteria and sunlight.
|
| 39. | Both explosions occurred in a building where volatile sodium azide propellant is formed into wafers that are installed in passenger-side air bags.
|
| 40. | Alkyl or aryl acyl chlorides react with sodium azide in aqueous solution to give acyl azides, which give isocyanates in the Curtius rearrangement.
