I propose a similar "international list of toxic substances", because a recent news article mentioned it:

  • "Coca is not poison, and it does not harm anyone in Bolivia," she said. "Making it part of our national coat of arms symbolizes the state's commitment to take it off the international list of toxic substances." [1] --Uncle Ed 19:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanliness

I know it's extremely hazardous, but are you sure it can be considered a substance at all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.9.114.88 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Red link recovery

Came here as part of link repair (You can help!) to work on the following, then realised this was out of my scientific depth ! Please can you check that the following names are correct and I have undone my edits ok ?

3 items fixed via reference website as shown above - names were truncated. Final item is ambiguous. Welsh 19:00, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please put more substances in!

For some reason, I cannot edit this article now, only the discussion page. But I think nitric acid (it's corrosive, as I said earlier) deserves to go on here as well as nitroglycerin and acetone peroxide (possibly the two most unstable substances ever, though I don't know which is more friction sensetive or the similar but different shock sensitive). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.81.42.30 (talk) 21:38, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

  • You don't get it: this list is compiled by a government agency some time ago and displayed here. You cannot just add chemicals to this list. Many editors have tried in the past that is why the article is locked. V8rik (talk) 21:45, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Error

Well the list may be government compiled, but the links are not, thus cyanuric fluoride (CAS number 675-14-9) links to Cyanogen halide which is not the same.

Actually to be honest the list is crap, 'sulfuric acid' and 'Tabun' are in the same list. Trust me, there is a difference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.110.241.125 (talk) 00:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
