Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name AMMONIUM THIOCYANATE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Ammonium thiocyanate

Ammonium thiocyanate liquor appears as an aqueous solution of a colorless crystalline solid. Contains no cyanide and therefore has low acute toxicity. Prolonged exposure may produce skin eruptions and sometimes mild or severe disturbances of the nervous system. Primary hazard is threat posed to the environment. As a liquid, easily penetrates the soil to contaminate groundwater or nearby waterways. Used to make other chemicals, fertilizer, and for many other things. — CAMEO Chemicals
