NCIt definition : An orange-yellow powder that is soluble in carbon disulfide and practically insoluble
in both water and organic solvents. Selenium sulfide is used as an ingredient in antidandruff
shampoos and as a constituent of fungicides. When heated to decomposition, it emits
toxic fumes of sulfur oxides and selenium. The primary routes of potential human exposure
to selenium sulfide are dermal contact and inhalation. Contact with selenium sulfide
can cause severe redness or irritation of the skin. It is reasonably anticipated to
be a human carcinogen. (NCI05);
