**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Causes burns. Irritating to respiratory system.Corrosive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Contact with liquid or vapor causes severe burns and possible
irreversible eye damage. May cause temporary blindness.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. May cause frostbite. May cause skin rash (in
milder cases), and cold and clammy skin with cyanosis or pale color.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes
severe digestive tract burns with abdominal pain, vomiting, and
possible death.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Inhalation of high
concentrations of ammonia vapors may cause shortness of breath,
bronchospasm, chest pain and pulmonary edema which may be fatal.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of acute
inhalation. Effects may be delayed. Laboratory experiments have
resulted in mutagenic effects.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. 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 immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems, or
impaired liver, kidney, or respiratory function may be more
susceptible to the effects of this substance. Treat symptomatically
and supportively.
Antidote:
No specific antidote exists.
**** 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Keep container
tightly closed. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or
inhale. This product may be under pressure; cool before opening.
Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
**** 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 general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.

7664-41-7: Ammonia is strongly adsorbed on soil, and on sediment
particles and colloids in water. This adsorption results in high
concentrations of sorbed ammonia in oxidized sediments. Under anoxic
conditions, the adsorptive capacity of sediments is less, resulting
in the release of ammonia to either the water column or an oxidized
