Did you break apart the drum and eat the selenium? No. Therefore there wasn't a hazard there. But it is toxic enough for occupational safety authorities to highlight the drum as a possible health risk (mainly from the minute amount of gas produced during operation).

Which is just what the first quoted sentence _says_ and which the rest of the deleted paragraph followed.
