3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
NFPA Rating (Scale 0-4) Health=1 Fire=0 Reactivity=0
Inhalation, skin and/or eye contact.
Route of Entry:
Eyes, skin, and respiratory system.
Target organs:
Inhalation of spray mist may cause irritation to the respiratory track
Inhalation:
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause mild irritating or possible dermatitis.
Skin:
Likely to immediate or delayed irritation.
Eye Contact:
Nausea and stomach pains
Ingestion:
Acute: Redness or irritation of the tissue, which had contact with the product (skin, eyes, and mucous membranes), can occur. Ingestion can
lead to stomach aches and nausea.
Chronic: RTECS recognizes Ammonium Chloride fumes as a Cardiovascular Toxicants, Ammonium Sulfate as Gastrointestinal or Liver
Toxicants, Neurotoxicants, and Respiratory Toxicants.
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
IF INHALED: Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Get immediate medical attention.
IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT:.Immediately flush eyes with running water for 15-30 minutes, lifting the upper and lower eyelids
occasionally. Get immediate medical attention.
IN CASE OF SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush skin with running water for 15-30 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes,
wash before reuse. Get immediate medical attention.
IN CASE OF INGESTION: CALL PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER FOR MOST CURRENT INFORMATION. If
professional advice is not available, DO NOT induce vomiting. Never induce vomiting or give diluents (milk or water) to someone who is
unconscious, having convulsions, or who cannot swallow. Get immediate medical attention.
SPECIAL NOTE: If medical attention is needed take a copy of the label and MSDS to physician or health care professional.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASHPOINT: NE
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, or regular foam.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use water spray to control ammonia vapors. Wear full protective clothing and use a
positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE: In case of sp8ill or release, avoid vapors and ignition sources. Use appropriate protective devices and
absorbents. Stop and contain the discharge if it can be done safely. Handle with trained personnel only, Notify authorities a required by law.
7. HANDLING and STORAGE
HANDLING PRACTICES: Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
STORAGE PRACTICES: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Store containers with lids on and
properly labeled. Do not store at temperatures above 120 degrees F.

VENTILATION AND ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use with adequate ventilation. If ventilation cannot reduce airborne concentrations
below acceptable limits, appropriate respiratory protection should be used.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If use conditions generate vapors or mists, wear a NIOSH approved respirator appropriate for those
emission levels.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield. It is generally recognized that contact lenses should not be
worn when working with chemicals because contact lenses may contribute to the severity of an eye injury.
HAND PROTECTION: Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
TOXICITY DATA:
EDTA: NE*
NH4Cl: orl-rat LD50:1650 mg/kg Safety Profile: Poison by subcutaneous, intravenous, and intramuscular routes. Moderately toxic by other
routes. A severe eye irritant. Mutation data reported. Explosive reaction with potassium chlorate or bromine trifluoride. Violent reaction
(ignition) with bromine pentafluoride, NH4NO3 (175 dec C), and IF7 Reaction with hydrogen cyanide may give the explosive nitrogen
trichloride. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx, Cl-, and NH3.
(NH4)2SO4: orl-rat LD50:3000 mg/kg Safety Profile: Moderately toxic by several routes. Human systemic effects by ingestion: hypermotility,
diarrhea, nausea or vomiting. See also SULFATES. Incandescent reaction on heating with potassium chlorate. Reaction with sodium
hypochlorite gives the unstable explosive nitrogen trichloride. Incompatible with (K + NH4NO3), KNO2, (NaK + NH4NO3). When heated to
decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx, NH3, and SOx.
Water H2O: orl-rbt LDLo:368 g/kg Safety Profile: Human systemic effects by ingestion of very large amounts: body temperature increase,
convulsions, diarrhea, fever, hypermotility, muscle contraction or spasticity, mydriasis, nausea or vomiting, tremors. Human and experimental
death reported by various routes at sufficiently large doses.
SUSPECTED CANCER AGENT: No
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Inhalation exposure will aggravate pre-existing respiratory ailments; skin
contact may aggravate pre-existing dermatitis.
