crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or

Acid chlorides, Phosphorus halides, Strong
acids, Strong oxidizing agents, Strong reducing
agents. Hazardous Exothermic Reactions:
Methyl sulfoxide (DMSO) undergoes a violent
exothermic reaction on mixing with copper wool
and trichloroacetic acid. On mixing with
potassium
permanganate
it
will
flash
instantaneously. It reacts violently with: acid
halides, cyanuric chloride, silicon tetrachloride,

silver fluoride, methyl bromide, iodine
pentafluoride, nitrogen periodate, diborane,

point methyl sulfoxidedegrades giving off
formaldehyde, methylmercaptan, and sulfur
