When should you avoid looking directly at magnesium burning?

Answer:

Magnesium also reacts with nitrogen in the air to produce some magnesium nitride (Mg3N2). Safety: Do not look directly at the burning magnesium due to the intensity of the light. A dry-powder fire extinguisher should be available. Disposal: Once cooled the solid magnesium products can be thrown in the trash.
