One of the biggest dangers is if this gets into a pool, lake or river when being
spilled by a train tanker or tanker truck. If this happens anything in that body of water is likely to die up to a certain size of the body of water. But, if it is spilled into a river like it was on July 14th 1991 into the Sacramento River between Mt. Shasta and Dunsmuir it killed literally every living thing in the River and drove extinct all life forms in the River that had lived there for millions of years. However, eventually life above the spill eventually went down stream to repopulate the area after it had been washed clean with fresh waters eventually. Everything died between above Dunsmuir to the Shasta Lake and dam at that time when 16,000 gallons spilled into the river from a wrecked Tanker car on the train.
This happened between Mt. Shasta city and Dunsmuir on July 14th 1991.

Metam sodium is an organosulfur compound (formally a dithiocarbamate), which is used as a soil fumigant, pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide. It is one of the most widely used pesticides in the United States, with approximately 60 million pounds used in 2001.[2] Metam sodium is the sodium salt of methyl dithiocarbamate.
Metam sodium can be prepared from methylamine, carbon disulfide, and sodium hydroxide; or from methyl isothiocyanate and sodium thiolate.[1]
Upon exposure to the environment, metam sodium decomposes to form methyl isothiocyanate.[3]
