From the CDC:

What sodium azide is
•Sodium azide is a rapidly acting, potentially deadly chemical that exists as an odorless white solid.
•When it is mixed with water or an acid, sodium azide changes rapidly to a toxic gas with a pungent (sharp) odor. It also changes into a toxic gas (hydrazoic acid) when it comes in contact with solid metals (for example, when it is poured into a drain pipe containing lead or copper).
•The odor of the gas may not be sharp enough, however, to give people sufficient warning of the danger.

I think it is covered by Obamacare. (sarc)

Sodium azide is a severe poison. It may be fatal in contact with skin or if swallowed. Even minute amounts can cause symptoms. The toxicity of this compound is comparable to that of soluble alkali cyanides and the lethal dose for an adult human is about 0.7 grams.

Well at least she didn't use a nailgun on herself.

Did she have any banking experience?

The Oakland Tribune reports that the woman left a note warning authorities of the dangerous situation...

How considerate of her.
