Chemical Safety
1522 AMMONIUM VANADIUM OXIDE
IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance Routes of exposure
ORANGE POWDER The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its
aerosol and by ingestion.
Chemical dangers
Inhalation risk
On heating, toxic fumes are formed.
A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached
Occupational exposure limits quickly when dispersed.
TLV not established.
Effects of short-term exposure
MAK: Carcinogen category: 2; Germ cell mutagen group: 2; (DFG
2005). The substance is irritating to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory
tract. Inhalation of the dust may cause lung oedema (see Notes).
The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.
Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The substance may have effects on the respiratory tract, resulting
in chronic rhinitis and chronic bronchitis.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Boiling point (decomposes): >350/C Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20/C: 0.04 (poor)
Density: 3.0 g/cm3
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms.
NOTES
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.
Rest and medical observation is therefore essential.
Health effects of exposure to the substance have not been investigated adequately.

Ammonium metavanadate NH4VO3 has CAS 7803-55-6 and UN 2859, ammonium polyvanadate has UN 2861.
Card has been partly updated in October 2005. See section Occupational Exposure Limits.
