AB  - Sodium  azide  is  a  highly  toxic  white  crystalline  solid.  It  has  come  into  widespread  use  in  automobile  air  bags;  its  explosive  decomposition  to  nitrogen  gas  provides  rapid  inflation  of  the  air  bag  (Note:  some  newer-generation  airbags  utilize  ammonium  nitrate  as  the  explosive  chemical).  In  addition,  sodium  azide  is  used  in  the  production  of  metallic  azide  explosives  and  as  a  preservative  in  laboratories.  It  has  no  current  medical  uses,  but  because  of  its  potent  vasodilator  effects,  it  has  been  evaluated  as  an  antihypertensive  agent.
