Re: Non Radioactive Hazard Response - Picric Acid

["Edward John Oconnell" <eoconnell@notes.cc.sunysb.edu>]

According to Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, "Picric acid of
sufficient purity is of the same order of stability as TNT, and is not
considered unduly hazardous in regard to sensitivity"

So, what would 20 grams of TNT do?
