resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short term repeated exposures to ammonia and its solutions:
路 Mild to moderate inhalation exposures produce headache, cough, bronchospasm, nausea,
vomiting, pharyngeal and retrosternal pain and conjunctivitis. Severe inhalation produces
laryngospasm, signs of upper airway obstruction (stridor, hoarseness, difficulty in
speaking) and, in excessively, high doses, pulmonary oedema.
路 Warm humidified air may soothe bronchial irritation.
路 Test all patients with conjunctival irritation for corneal abrasion (fluorescein stain,
slit lamp exam)
路 Dyspneic patients should receive a chest X-ray and arterial blood gases to detect
pulmonary oedema.

MATERIAL DATA
These "dusts" have little adverse effect on the lungs and do not produce toxic effects or
organic disease. Although there is no dust which does not evoke some cellular response at
sufficiently high concentrations, the cellular response caused by P.N.O.C.s has the
following characteristics:
路 the architecture of the air spaces remain intact,
路 scar tissue (collagen) is not synthesised to any degree,
路 tissue reaction is potentially reversible.
Extensive concentrations of P.N.O.C.s may:
路 seriously reduce visibility,
路 cause unpleasant deposits in the eyes, ears and nasal passages,
路 contribute to skin or mucous membrane injury by chemical or mechanical action, per se,
or by the rigorous skin cleansing procedures necessary for their removal. [ACGIH]
This limit does not apply:
路 to brief exposures to higher concentrations
路 nor does it apply to those substances that may cause physiological impairment at lower
concentrations but for which a TLV has as yet to be determined.
This exposure standard applies to particles which
路 are insoluble or poorly soluble* in water or, preferably, in aqueous lung fluid (if
data is available) and
路 have a low toxicity (i.e.. are not cytotoxic, genotoxic, or otherwise chemically
reactive with lung tissue, and do not emit ionizing radiation, cause immune sensitization
, or cause toxic effects other than by inflammation or by a mechanism of lung overload).

INGREDIENT DATA
AMMONIA:
Odour Threshold Value: Variously reported as 0.019 ppm and 55 ppm;
AIHA Value 16.7 ppm (detection)
NOTE: Detector tubes for ammonia, measuring in excess of 1 ppm, are
commercially available.
The TLV-TWA is thought to be protective against irritation of the eyes and
respiratory tract and minimise discomfort among workers that are not
inured to its effects and systemic damage. Acclimatised persons are able
to tolerate prolonged exposures of up to 100 ppm without symptoms. Marked
irritation has been seen in persons exposed to ammonia concentrations

between 50 and 100 ppm only when the exposures involved sudden
concentration peaks which do not permit short-term acclimatisation. The
detoxification capacity of the liver is significant since the amount of
ammonia formed endogenously in the intestines markedly exceeds that from
external sources.

9-50 nasal dryness, olfactory fatigue and moderate irritation
125-137 definite nose, throat and chest irritation
140 slight eye irritation
150 laryngeal spasm
500 30 minute exposures may produce cyclic hypernea, increased blood
pressure and pulse rate, and upper respiratory tract irritation
which may persist for 24 hours
700 immediate eye irritation
1500-10000 dyspnea, convulsive coughing, chest pain, respiratory spasm,
pink frothy sputum, rapid asphyxia and delayed pulmonary oedema
which may be fatal. Other effects include runny nose, swelling
of the lips, restlessness, headache, salivation, nausea,
vomiting, glottal oedema, pharyngitis, tracheitis, and speech
difficulties. Bronchopneumonia, asphyxiation due to spasms,
inflammation, and oedema of the larynx, may be fatal. Residual
effects include hoarseness, productive cough, and decreased
respiratory function
>2500 severe eye irritation, with swelling of the eyelids,
lachrymation, blepharospasm, palpebral oedema, increased
intraocular pressure, oval semi-dilated, fixed pupils, corneal
ulceration (often severe) and temporary blindness. Depending on
duration of exposure, there may be destruction of the
epithelium, corneal and lenticular opacification, and iritis
accompanied by hypopyon or haemorrhage and possible loss of
pigment from the posterior layer of the iris. Less severe
damage is often resolved. In the case of severe damage,
symptoms may be delayed; late complications including
persistent oedema, vascularisation and corneal scarring,
permanent opacity, acute angle glaucoma, staphyloma, cataract,
and atrophy of the retina, iris, and symblepharon.
Long-term exposure to sub-acute concentrations or single exposures to
high concentrations may produce chronic airway dysfunction, alveolar
disease, bronchiolitis, bronchiectasis, emphysema and anxiety neuroses

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material is. moderately discomforting to the gastro-intestinal tract if swallowed.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Large doses of ammonia or injected ammonium salts may produce diarrhoea and may be
sufficiently absorbed to produce increased production of urine and systemic poisoning.
Symptoms include weakening of facial muscle, tremor, anxiety, reduced muscle and limb
control.
EYE
The dust may produce eye discomfort causing smarting, pain and redness.
SKIN
The material may be mildly discomforting to the skin.
INHALED
The dust is. discomforting to the upper respiratory tract.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and inhalation of
generated dusts.
No human exposure data available. For this reason health effects described are based on
experience with chemically related materials.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour,
mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by
observing good occupational work practice.

The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material
ceases. This may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways
dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur following exposure to high levels of highly
irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of RADS include the absence of
preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of
persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the
irritant. A reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to
severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of
minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have also been included in the
criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an
infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure
to the irritating substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that
occurs as result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often
particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The disorder
is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucus production.
Section 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No data for ammonium bicarbonate.
Refer to data for ingredients, which follows:
AMMONIA:
Fish LC50 (96hr.) (mg/l): 0.45- 0.8
In air ammonia is persistent whilst, in water, it biodegrades rapidly to nitrate,
producing a high oxygen demand. Ammonia is strongly adsorbed to soil. Ammonia is non
-persistent in water (half-life 2 days) and is moderately toxic to fish under normal
temperature and pH conditions. Ammonia is harmful to aquatic life at low concentrations
but does not concentrate in the food chain.
Drinking Water Standards:
0.5 mg/l (UK max.)
1.5 mg/l (WHO Levels)
Soil Guidelines: none available.
Air Quality Standards: none available.
Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water
courses.
Do NOT allow product to come in contact with surface waters or to intertidal areas below
the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing
of equipment wash-waters.
Wastes resulting from use of the product must be disposed of on site or at approved waste
sites.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
