EYES: If in eyes, hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then
continue rinsing. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. Flush affected area with water for 15 minutes. Wash affected area with mild soap and water. Seek medical
attention if irritation develops or persists.
INGESTION: If swallowed, call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow.
Do not induce vomiting unless told to by the poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
INHALATION: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth,
if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.
COMMENTS: See product label for specific First Aid Measures. The above measures are the most conservative and would apply in the event a product
label is not immediately available.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Thermal decomposition may produce ammonia as well as toxic oxides of carbon, nitrogen, and other
metal oxides.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS: High airborne dust concentrations have the potential for explosions.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Evacuate area. Flood with water to cool containers. Apply water from a safe distance to avoid splattering of molten
material. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus to fight large fires.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus to fight large fires.
FLASHPOINT: Decomposes on heating.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
GENERAL PROCEDURES: Avoid dusting or misting condition during cleanup. If material is uncontaminated, collect and reuse as recommended for
product. If contaminated, put in appropriate container and dispose according to local, state, or Federal regulations. Keep spills away from drinking water
supplies. After spill cleanup, flush area with water. Read label
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: See label. Wash hands with soap and water after handling product. Avoid container breakage. Avoid inhalation or contact with skin, eyes,
or clothing. Do not contaminate water sources when disposing of equipment wash waters. Keep out of lakes, streams, or ponds. KEEP OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN.
STORAGE: See label. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Avoid container breakage. Store in cool, dry area in closed container or package. Keep
away from feed or foodstuffs.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use adequate ventilation to keep the airborne concentrations of this material below the recommended exposure standard.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: Eye and face protection is not required for routine use. High airborne dust levels or mists of product dissolved in liquid may be
irritating - use chemical goggles.
SKIN: None required for normal use. If prolonged or repeated use irritates skin, use natural rubber gloves.
RESPIRATORY: If airborne dust levels are high or irritation occurs, use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator for dusts, mists, and fumes to reduce
exposures to acceptable levels.
OTHER USE PRECAUTIONS: Running water or eye wash station should be available in case material gets in eyes.
9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
PHYSICAL STATE: Powder

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
CARCINOGENICITY:
IARC: No
NTP: No
OSHA: No
GENERAL COMMENTS: Little toxicology information is available for this product. Nitrate-containing substances are potential allergens. Prolonged or
repeated contact with fertilizer may irritate eyes and skin. Inhalation of dust may irritate nose, throat, and lungs. Prolonged exposure may cause weakness,
depression, headache, mental impairment, anemia, methemoglobinemia, and kidney injury. Ingestion of nitrates can cause gastrointestinal irritation,
muscular weakness, and blue-tinged skin (cyanosis). Eye contact with urea powder may cause reversible corneal opacity along with irritation, tearing, and
blinking as a foreign body in the eye. Skin contact with powdered urea may cause only mild irritation while ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, and
possible excitement and convulsions. Inhalation of high concentrations of metals (such as dusts containing manganese, molybdenum, copper, zinc, iron,
etc.) over very long periods of time (several years, for example) may cause damage to the central nervous system or affect the lung, liver, or kidney.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Keep out of lakes, streams, or ponds.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL METHOD: Apply as fertizer to field. If product is contaminated, dispose of in an approved landfill disposal facility, in accordance with
applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION
DOT (DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION)
PROPER SHIPPING NAME: Not DOT regulated.
OTHER SHIPPING INFORMATION: The transportation information shown may not apply to all shipping situations. Consult 49 CFR, or
appropriate Dangerous Goods Regulations for additional description requirements (e.g., technical name) and mode-specific or quantity-specific
