**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Contact with
combustible material may cause fire.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture
from the air).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation.
Methemoglobinemia is characterized by dizziness, drowsiness,
headache, shortness of breath, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin
due to deficient oxygenation of the blood), rapid heart rate and
chocolate-brown colored blood.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause methemoglobinemia,
cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation
of the blood), convulsions, tachycardia, dyspnea (labored
breathing), and death. Methemoglobinemia is characterized by
dizziness, drowsiness, headache, shortness of breath, cyanosis
(bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the
blood), rapid heart rate and chocolate-brown blood. Inhalation can
cause systemic acidosis and methemoglobinemia.
Chronic:
May cause methemoglobinemia, which is characterized by
chocolate-brown colored blood, headache, weakness, dizziness, breath
shortness, cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation of
blood), rapid heart rate, unconsciousness and possible death. May
cause digestive tract disturbances.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Absorption of this product into the body may cause cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).
Moderate degrees of cyanosis need to be treated only by supportive
measures: bed rest and oxygen inhalation. For methemoglobinemia,
administer oxygen alone or with Methylene Blue depending on the
methemoglobin concentration in the blood. Cleansing of the entire
contaminated area of the body is of utmost importance.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may
cause fire. May explode under confinement and high temperatures,
especially if contaminated.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use flooding
quantities of water as spray.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation. Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.,) away
from spilled material.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep from contact
with clothing and other combustible materials. Do not pressurize,
cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers
to heat, sparks or open flames. Avoid breathing dust. Inform laundry
personnel of contaminant's hazards. Avoid localized heating of
ammonium nitrate, potentially leading to development of high
temperature areas. Ensure that ammonium nitrate is not exposed to
strong shock waves from explosives. Avoid low pH (acidic)
conditions.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Keep away from acids. Keep away from
reducing agents. Avoid storage on wood floors.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
Exposure Limits
CAS# 6484-52-2:
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29
CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved
respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if
irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
