A factory using potassium bromate regularly in small portions found that it caked in storage and had to be broken up. A largely full, but year old, polythene lined fibre-board drum thereof was broken by stabbing the contents with a, possibly rusty, knife and the lumps needed for use removed by gloved hand. The 1.5 kg so removed was observed to be fizzing and was sprayed...
