<< Matt,
 
 This gas is nitrogen dioxide (NO2). It's the same gas that's given off
 when you drop a piece of copper into concentrated nitric acid. It's a
 nasty, heavier than air, brown colored gas that converts into nitric
 acid upon contact with moisture (as in your lungs..). It has an acrid
 odor, similar to bleach. And, it's very toxic to humans and other living
 things. Concentrations of 400-500 parts/million or above are life
 threatening. Needless to say, don't mess with it, especially when it's
 concentrated (as in your bottle).
