Carbon disulfide is a colorless, flammable gas with a characteristic unpleasant odor. It is produced industrially by the reaction of carbon and sulfur dioxide. Carbon disulfide is used in the production of viscose rayon, cellophane, and other cellulose derivatives, and in the manufacture of dyes, pesticides, and other chemicals. It is also used as a solvent for fats, oils, waxes, and resins.
Carbon disulfide is moderately toxic by inhalation. Symptoms of exposure include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Prolonged exposure may cause eye damage, central nervous system damage, and liver and kidney damage.
