Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Wear NIOSH approved positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not
breathe fumes. Remove from area of fire at first opportunity. Prevent water runoff from entering drains, sewers or water sources.
Fertilizer will become slippery when wet. Guard against falls.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: If heated to decomposition, will give off toxic fumes of ammonia and formaldehyde.
Under fire conditions, urea may decompose to cyanuric acid, biuret or ammonia. Dispersion of fine dust in the air may form an
explosive mixture.
V. HEALTH HAZARDS
Primary Route (s) of Entry: Skin, inhalation, ingestion, eyes.
Signs & Symptoms of Exposure
Acute: May cause mild irritation to skin and eyes. Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal disorder,
nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea.
Emergency First-Aid Procedures
Eyes: Flush with clear water for at least 15 minutes. Get Medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected area with soap and water.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air.
Ingestion: Drink warm water and induce vomiting by touching back of throat with finger. Consult a physician.

VI. REACTIVITY
Stability: [X] Stable [ ] Unstable
Conditions to avoid: None known
Incompatibility: Strong acids, caustic compounds, humid-wet conditions.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: If heated to decomposition, may give off ammonia and formaldehyde as well as
oxides of sulfur, manganese, magnesium, iron, potassium and phosphorus. Urea can yield cyanuric acid or biuret upon heating.
