PEL: Permissible Exposure Limit Established by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration.
TLV: Threshold Limit Value recommended by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygenists.
The ACGIH Threshold Limit Values for nuisance (inert) dusts containing <1% crystalline silica and no asbestos are: 10
mg/m3 total, 5 mg/m3 respirable. Product coating is expected to minimize airborne exposure.
III. FIRST AID PROCEDURES
If in eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes holding eyelids open. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Eyes:
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Have conscious person drink 1 to 2 glasses
of water, then induce repeated vomiting until vomit is clear. Call physician.
Wash with plenty of soap and water.
Skin:
Remove to fresh air. Treat symptomatically.
Inhalation:

IV. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Summary of Risks
Prolonged or repeated direct 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 product can cause severe gastrointestinal irritation, muscular weakness, and blue-tinged skin
(cyanosis). Infants and children are especially at risk for cyanosis. Ingestion of large amounts may result in death.
One experimental study of mice and rats fed large doses of urea (394 gm/kg and 821 gm/kg over a period of one year) produced
tumors of the blood-forming organs. Human reproductive effects have been reported at high doses by intraplacental route.
Mutagenic effects are also reported.
Urea is moderately toxic by ingestion. It may cause headache, nausea, and vomiting. Other possible effects are disorientation,
nervousness, hypertension, hypothermia, and cardiac effects.
Medical conditions which may Skin abrasions and sores.
be aggravated by contact: Inhalation of dust may aggravate asthma.
Target Organs: Skin, eyes, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and central nervous system.
Primary Entry Route(s): Ingestion, inhalation.
Chronic Effect(s): A study of 67 workers in an environment with high airborne concentrations of urea found a
high incidence of protein metabolism disturbances, moderate emphysema, and chronic
weight loss.
Acute Effect(s): Excessive inhalation of dust may cause irritation and coughing. Prolonged
skin contact with product may cause mild irritation.

IARC Monographs: No
NTP: No
OSHA: No
V. PERSONAL PROTECTION AND PRECAUTIONS
Personal Protective equipment
None required for routine use as fertilizer. High airborne dust levels or mists of product dissolved in liquid
Goggles:
may be irritating; use chemical goggles.
None required for normal use. If prolonged or repeated use irritates skin, use neoprene or PVC
Gloves:
gloves.
Respirator: If airborne dust levels are high or product does not remain intact, use a combination of engineering controls (e.
ventilation) and personal protection (e.g. NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator for dusts, mists, and fumes) to
reduce exposures to acceptable levels.
Workplace Considerations
Ventilation: Ventilation and personal protection are recommended whenever dust levels are high or product does
not remain intact.
Safety Stations: Running water should be available in case material gets in eyes

VII. REGULATORY INFORMATION
DOT Classification: Not DOT regulated.
VIII. STORAGE AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage
Store in a cool, dry area away from incompatible materials and heat sources. Store away from feed and foodstuffs, as well as
household cleaning products. Wash hands with soap and water after handling product. Keep out of reach of children.
In case of spills
