According to the IATA Trinitrophenol or Picric Acid UN0154 does not have a subsidiary risk as a toxic inhalation hazard and therefore would not be required to labeled as such. An MSDS may say it is a risk, but that doesn't make it a toxic (poison)inhalation hazard.For example smoking shag carpet may be a risk, but not poisonous. I'm just going on the containers I see.

This explosive is a phenol derivative. It is toxic and explosive compounds made from picric acid are poisonous if inhaled, ingested, or handled and absorbed through the skin. The toxicity of this explosive restricts it's use due to the fact that over exposure in most cases causes liver and kidney failure and sometimes death if immediate treatment is not obtained.
