Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In this handbook, sodium fluoride is reported to be a clear and lustrous substance. It can either be cubic crystals or a white powder or balls. These elements are considered valid at atmosphric pressure and normal temperature.
Executive summary:

In this handbook, sodium fluoride is reported to be a clear and lustrous substance. It can either be cubic crystals or a white powder or balls. These elements are considered valid at atmosphric pressure and normal temperature.

According to the ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, the Sax's Handbook should be considered as a peer-reviewed handbook. Hence, these parameters are considered as reliable with restrictions.
