Thermal and corrosive decomposition products

Inhalation of decomposition gases can cause irritation of the respiratory tract, and some

lung effects may be delayed.

3.1. Environment

Ammonium nitrate is a nitrogen fertilizer. Large spillage can cause adverse environmental impact

such as contamination of the watercourses by nitrates.

3.2. Other

Fire, heating and detonation

The fertilizers are not themselves combustible, but they can support combustion even inthe absence of air. Heating to the melting point and further may cause decomposition

releasing toxic fumes containing nitrogen oxides and ammonia. The product has high

resistance to detonation. Heating under confinement may lead to explosion.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1 Product

Skin contact

Wash the affected area with soap and water.

Eye contact

Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10 minutes.

If eyes irritation persists, obtain medical attention.

Ingestion Do not induce vomiting.

Drink water or milk.

Obtain medical attention if a large quantity has been swallowed.Inhalation

Remove from source of exposure to dusts.

Obtain medical attention in case of adverse effects.

4.2 Fire and decomposition products

Skin contact

Wash areas in contact with molten material copiously with cold water. Obtain medical attention.

Inhalation

Remove from the source of exposure to fumes.

Keep warm and at rest.

Give oxygen, especially if there is blueness around the mouth.

Artificial respiration should only be applied if breathing fails.

Following exposure, the person should be kept under medical review for at least 48hours as delayed pulmonary oedema may develop.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

5.1 If fertilizer is not directly involved in the fire

Use the best means available to extinguish the fire.

5.2 If fertilizer is involved in the fire

Call the fire brigade.

Avoid breathing the toxic fumes, stand aside or up-wind of the smoke and decomposing

gases.

Use protective equipment (self-contained breathing apparatus).

Use plenty of water.

Do not use chemical extinguishers or foams or attempt to smother the fire with steam orsand.

Open doors and windows of the store to give maximum ventilation.

Do not allow molten fertilizers to run into drains.

Prevent any contamination of fertilizer by oils or other combustible materials.

If water containing fertilizer enters any drains or watercourse, inform the local authorities

immediately.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Any spillage of fertilizer should be cleaned up promptly, swept up and placed in a clean,labeled open container for safe disposal. Do not allow it to mix with sawdust and other

combustible or organic substances.

Depending on the degree and nature of contamination, dispose of by use as fertilizer onfarm in a thin layer or to an authorized waste facility.

In case of accidental contamination of watercourses and drains, immediately inform theappropriate authority.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1 Handling

Avoid excessive generation of dust.

Avoid fertilizer contamination by combustible materials (such as diesel, oil, grease) andincompatible materials.

Avoid unnecessary exposure to the atmosphere to prevent moisture pick-up.

When handling the product over long periods, use the appropriate protective equipment,i.e. protective clothing and gloves.

7.2 Storage

Keep away from the source of heat or fire. Keep away from combustible materials and organic substances

On farms, ensure that the fertilizer is not stored near hay, straw, grain, diesel etc.

Smoking and the use of naked flame are not permitted in the storage areas.

Restrict stack size (according to local regulations) and keep at least 1m distance betweenthe fertilizer stacks.

Any building used for the storage must be dry and well ventilated.

The fertilizer should not be stored in direct sunlight to avoid deterioration of physicalproperties due to thermal decomposition.

The building used for the storage of the fertilizer must satisfy all requirements stated inRegulations on technical standards for handling and storage of solid fertilizers

containing ammonium nitrate (Sluzbeni list SFRJ No. 55/91)

8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION

8.1 Max. allowed concentration in the working area

No specific official limits.

Max. allowed concentration of dust ( particles < 10 microns ) 15 mg/m3JUS Z.BO.001 /1991

ACGIH recommended value (1995-96) for inhaled particulates TLV/TWA: 10mg/m3.

8.2 Precautionary measures

Avoid high dust concentration and provide ventilation where necessary.

8.3 Personal protection

When handling the product over long periods wear protective clothing and gloves.

If dust concentration is high use dust respirator.

After handling the product, take off the protective clothing and remove the dust from thebody (shower after work) , observe good hygiene practice.

9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIESAppearance White or grey granules or prilling

Odour Odourless

pH water solution (100g/l) > 4.5.

Explosive properties,

flammability

Not explosive as per EEC test A14 (67/548/EEC). The fertilizer has a

high resistance to detonation . However, this resistance is decreased bythe presence of contaminants and/or high temperatures.

Heating under strong confinement (e.g. in tubes or drains) may lead to a

violent reaction or explosion, especially if there is contamination by

some of the substances mentioned in 10.3.

Oxidizing properties Not classed as an oxidizing material according to Directive

88/379/EEC.

Affects flammability

Bulk density Normally between 900-1100kg/m3.

Solubility in water NH4NO3highly soluble 1900g/l in water at 20oC

hygroscopic.

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

10.1 Stability

The fertilizer is stable under condition that it is stored in original packing in a warehouse withnatural ventilation protected from the sources of fire, heat, moisture and exposure to the

atmosphere.

10.2 Conditions to avoid

Heating above 170C (decomposition into gases).

Contamination by incompatible materials.

Unnecessary exposure to the atmosphere.

Closeness to sources of heat or fire.

Welding or hot working on equipment or plant which may have contained fertilizer,without first cleaning and washing thoroughly to remove all fertilizer.

10.3 Materials to avoid

Combustible materials, reducing agents, acids, alkalies, sulphur, chlorates, chlorides, chromates,

nitrites, permanganates, metallic powders, substances containing metallic powders such as copper,nickel, cobalt, zink and their alloys.

10.4 Hazardous reactions/decomposition products

When in contact with alkaline materials such as limestone may give off ammonia gas.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

11.1 General

See Section 3.1.

11.2 Toxicity data

LD50 (oral, rat) > 2000mg/kg

May cause methaemoglobinaemia.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

12.1 Mobility

Ammonium nitrate is highly soluble in water. The NO-3 ion is very mobile. The NH+4 ion is absorbed by soil.

12.2 Persistence/Degradability

The nitrate ion is the predominant form of plant nutrition. It follows the natural nitrification/denitrification cycle to

give nitrogen.
