POLICE are warning people not to handle mysterious silver canisters containing a toxic gas that are washing up on beaches in central Queensland.
The silver canisters, which have been found on beaches since February last year, contain toxic aluminium phosphide which can be fatal if inhaled or ingested.
Aluminium phosphide is a colourless, flammable and toxic gas.
Mild exposure by inhalation can cause a ringing in the ears, fatigue, nausea and pressure in the chest.
Police have received reports of the containers being found between Lady Elliot Island and Mabuiag Island, with the most recent being discovered at Zilzie near Rockhampton.
Authorities don't know where the canisters are coming from.
The canisters are 30cm high and 15cm in diameter. People who find them are urged not to handle them and immediately call Triple Zero.
