Description of key information

Published handbook data reports the vapor density of acetonitrile to be 1.42 (air = 1), the saturation concentration in air to be 163 g/m3at 20 oC and 249 g/m3at 30 oC and that acetonitrile emits highly toxic fumes of hydrogen cyanide when heated to decomposition, or reacted with acids or oxidizing agents
