Internet-Purchased Sodium Azide Used in a Fatal Suicide Attempt: A Case Report and Review of the Literature [PDF]
Toxics, 2023 There has been a significant increase in sodium azide intoxications since the 1980s. Intoxications caused by sodium azide are becoming increasingly prevalent in the Netherlands as a result of its promotion for the purpose of self-euthanasia.

Sodium azide poisoning: a narrative review. [PDF]
Clin Toxicol (Phila), 2021 Sodium azide is a highly toxic chemical. Its production has increased dramatically over the last 30 years due to its widespread use in vehicular airbags, and it is available for purchase online. Thus, accidental exposure to azide or use as a homicidal or suicidal agent could be on the rise, and secondary exposure to medical personnel can occur.

THE PHOTOCHEMICAL DECOMPOSITION OF SODIUM AZIDE [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 1966 When sodium azide is irradiated with ultraviolet light the rate of photolysis at first decreases and then becomes constant. Two reaction mechanisms are involved: the first occurs only in salt which has not previously been irradiated, whereas the second requires the presence of metallic sodium.

Biosensor Technology Reveals the Disruption of the Endothelial Barrier Function and the Subsequent Death of Blood Brain Barrier Endothelial Cells to Sodium Azide and Its Gaseous Products [PDF]
Biosensors, 2017 Herein we demonstrate the sensitive nature of human blood-brain barrier (BBB) endothelial cells to sodium azide and its gaseous product. Sodium azide is known to be acutely cytotoxic at low millimolar concentrations, hence its use as a biological ...

Controlled functionalization of graphene oxide with sodium azide. [PDF]
Nanoscale, 2013 We present the first example of azide functionalization on the surface of graphene oxide (GO), which preserves thermally unstable groups in GO through the mild reaction with sodium azide in solids. Experimental evidence, by (15)N solid-state NMR and other spectroscopic methods, indicates the substitution of organosulfate with azide anions as the ...
