BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Currently, sodium azide is mainly used in gas generating compositions useful for inflating airbags. This composition has no particular problem with respect to its combustion characteristics and is currently in wide practical use. However, sodium azide inherently has various undesirable properties. For example, the danger of decomposition and explosion is extremely high, and it is considered as a Class B explosive in the United States. The spark sensitivity of sodium azide is comparable to that of black explosive, and its handling requires careful attention. In fact, there are many accidents worldwide in the manufacturing process of this composition.

Furthermore, when sodium azide reacts with heavy metals, it produces salts with high impact sensitivity. In particular, the reaction with copper produces copper azide, which has very high impact sensitivity. Since copper metal or its alloy is generally frequently used as a material for parts, it is also likely to become a social problem in the future, because it is entangled with the problem of discarding airbags when the vehicle is scrapped.

Further, sodium azide has many physiological toxicity problems, and a person who drank 0.04 gr complained of severe chest pain resembling angina spread to both arms and numbness in the foot, and fell to the floor. A 39-year-old man who drank 0.05 to 0.06 gr of sodium azide suddenly fainted after 5 minutes and became incontinent.
There is also a case reported that he complained of nausea and severe headache 10 minutes later.

Further, sodium azide reacts with an acid to generate hydrogen azide. It has similarities with cyan and hydrogen sulfide and inhibits cytochrome oxidase.
