Hazardous Properties‌

Sodium sulfide is ‌corrosive‌ and releases toxic ‌hydrogen sulfide (H₂S)‌ gas upon contact with acids or moisture, posing risks of respiratory irritation, burns, and environmental contamination.

Protective Measures‌

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):‌ Chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and respirators are mandatory during handling.
Ventilation:‌ Ensure adequate airflow in storage and usage areas to prevent H₂S gas accumulation.

Environmental Risks‌

Improper disposal may lead to soil and water pollution due to sulfide ion leaching.

Emergency Protocols‌

Neutralize spills with ‌lime‌ or ‌sodium carbonate‌ and isolate contaminated zones immediately.
