Is it a blue harvard May contain phosgene. Do not handle it and contact a chemical disposal company. Could be a serious skin irritant. And eye. Gives off a nasty gas too if it is. I wouldn't handle it and I am moderate in a my approach to materials in collections. Keep us posted!

Does anyone know what the potential hazards are and should we dispose of it? What is the best way of doing this?
