SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Decomposes above 100°C . This produces toxic and flammable products including selenium (ICSC 0072) and hydrogen (ICSC 0001). The substance is a strong reducing agent. It reacts violently with oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Contact with air generates toxic and corrosive fumes of selenium dioxide (see ICSC 0946).
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
The gas is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
CHEMICAL PROFILE: A colorless, flammable gas of unpleasant odor, a deadly poison by inhalation. It forms explosive mixtures with air. It reacts vigorously with strong oxidizing reagents, e.g., hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid [Sax, 9th ed., 1996, p.1843]. (REACTIVITY, 1999)

Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
