In a NFPA 704 label, blue means health, red means flammability, and yellow mean reactivity. The higher the number, the worse it is.

Health is a 1, so it means:

Exposure would cause irritation with only minor residual injury.

Flammability is 0, so its not all that flammable.

Reactivity is 3, so it means:

Capable of detonation or explosive decomposition but requires a strong initiating source, must be heated under confinement before initiation, reacts explosively with water, or will detonate if severely shocked

This stuff is not toxic, but very sensitive to heat. I'm not saying you should pull it and breath this crap, but it won't do much damage to you. Just a lot of coughing. ;)

Got my facts from my chemistry/biology/physics/human anatomy teacher.

To add on to this, I know its old but just want people to know. :D

Health 4-deadly

reactivity Hazard 4-May detonate

kinda wierd,a 4 is deadly and the other 4 only has a chance

No, that means you have no control over it and you should not even be touching it. It can detonate from the littlest friction, movement anything. Its dangerous basically.
