3. Hazards Identification - Continued
Ingestion Hazards
Causes excessive salivation, nausea, vomiting, and corrosive burning of the gastrointestinal tract, including
perforation. Lesser effects include sore throat, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Inhalation Hazards
Corrosive, overexposure causes burning, irritation and destruction of the mucous membranes and upper
respiratory tract. Symptoms may include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, sneezing, mucous
production, and sinus congestion. Other indications of overexposure are headache, nausea, vomiting, low-grade
fever, and shortness of breath.
4. First Aid Measures
Eye
Immediately irrigate eyes with flowing water continuously for a minimum of 15 minutes while holding eyes open
and washing beneath eyelids. Contacts must be removed before or during flushing. Speed in rinsing eyes after
contact is essential to prevent serious injury. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Skin
Immediately flood affected skin area with water (safety shower is preferable) and remove clothing. Wash skin
vigorously with flowing water and soap for at least 15 minutes. Do not apply salve or ointment. Continue washing
in serious cases until medical help arrives, even for an hour or longer. Clothing should be discarded or washed
before reuse. Obtain immediate medical attention.
Ingestion
If victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse mouthy with water and give large volumes of water to drink. If
spontaneous vomiting occurs, have affected person lean forward with head down to avoid breathing in of vomitus.
Rinse mouth again and give more water to drink. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Inhalation
Remove affected person from area to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial
respiration ONLY if breathing has stopped and give CPR ONLY if there is no breathing and no pulse. Obtain
immediate medical attention.
Note To Physician
DO NOT induce vomiting. Dilution with milk or water may help.
Perform gastric lavage or attempt neutralization after ingestion. Endoscopic evaluation of the patient may be
warranted
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: None 掳F
Flammability Class: Non-flammable
Lower Explosive Limit: 15% (Ammonia vapor in air)
Upper Explosive Limit: 28% (Ammonia vapor in air)
Fire And Explosion Hazards
Flammable vapors may be given off when exposed to heat, especially in closed containers. Vapors may form an
explosive mixture with air.
Extinguishing Media
Suitable for surrounding fire - dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or foam.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Avoid breathing vapors and keep upwind of fire. Move container from area of fire if safely possible. Spray or fog
of water is effective on ammonia vapors. Firefighters should use NIOSH-approved self contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with positive pressure full-face piece and wear impervious protective clothing.

6. Accidental Release Measures
Dike spills with sand or inert solid and place into drums or other containers that can be sealed. Very small spills may be
flushed with large quantities of water and diluted. Keep unauthorized personnel away from the area.
DO NOT DUMP INTO ANY SEWERS, ON THE GROUND, OR INTO ANY BODY OF WATER. All disposal methods
must be in compliance with all Federal, State, Local, and Provincial laws and regulations. Regulations may vary in
different locations. Waste characterizations and compliance with applicable laws are the responsibility solely of the
waste generator.
7. Handling And Storage
Handling Precautions
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wear proper protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection. Wash
thoroughly after handling this product. Avoid breathing vapor or mist by using proper respiratory protective
equipment.
Storage Precautions
This product should be stored in a cool, well ventilated, and dry location, isolated and protected from any physical
damage, heat, or direct sunlight which may cause the product to partially decompose. Keep from freezing. Do
not apply heat to thaw. If frozen, allow the product to thaw at room temperature and mix in drum before using.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. Refer to documents such as "Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended
Practices" by ACGIH.
Eye/Face Protection
Wear appropriate eye protection such as safety glasses and face shield or splash goggles.
Skin Protection
Use chemical resistant gloves made of suitable material to prevent skin contact. Chemical resistant clothing is
recommended. It should be impervious to splash and penetration by this product.
Respiratory Protection
A NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator is necessary if a worker may be exposed to airborne contaminant levels
exceeding the exposure limits given. For concentrations of ammonia vapors up to 300 ppm, use an air purifying
respirator (APR) with an ammonia cartridge. APRs must not be worn when there is insufficient oxygen in the
workplace. Ammonia concentrations at or above 300 ppm require the use of a self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) or equivalent. It is the employer's responsibility to ensure that the proper respiratory protection
is used and that the worker is properly trained in the use and maintenance of respirators.
Other/General Protection
Safety showers with quick opening valves which stay open, and eye wash fountains, or other means of washing
the eyes with a gentle flow of cool tepid tap water, should be readily available in all areas where this material is
handled or stored.
