This mater ial is a gas under normal atmospheric conditions and ingestion

is unlike ly. Ingestion of liquid amm onia may result in severe irritation or

ulcerat ion of the mout h, throat and digest ive tract which may be

displayed by nausea, vomit ing, diarr h ea and, in severe cases, collapse,

shock and death.

I rrit at io n to the mucous membranes of t he nose, throat and lungs is

noticeable at 100 ppm. Concentrations above 400 ppm will cause throat

irrit at ion and may destroy mucous su rfaces upon prolonged contact.

Hig h concentrations can cause pulm onar y edema. Breathing air cont

aining concentrations greater than 5,000 ppm may cause sudden death

from spasm or inf lam m at ion of the lary nx.

Liqu id Ammonia produces severe sk in burn s on contact. Ammonia gas

may cause skin irrit at ion, especially if skin is moist. The liquid can cause

skin damage resulting from combined freezing and corrosive action on the

skin. Atm ospheric conce nt rat ions above 30,000 ppm will burn and blister

skin after a few seconds of exposure.

Exposure to high gas concent rations may cause temporary blindness and

severe eye damage. Direct contact of the eyes with liquid ammonia will

produce serio us eye burn s.

Equipment for

Firefighters

Fire Fighting

Procedures

Use Water Spray or Water Fog, Carbon Dioxide, Polar or Alcohol Foam,

Dry Chemical. Halon may decompose into toxic materials. Carbon dioxide

can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying halon or carbon dioxide in

confined spaces.

Gas may ignite at vapor concentrations between 16% and 25% in air.

However, ammonia-air mixtures are difficult to ignite and burn with little

vigor. In the absence of oxygen enrichment, the risk of initiating an

accidental fire or explosion is low. Do not allow ammonia vapors to

accumulate in confined areas where ignit ion may occur. Intense heating

particularly in contact with hot metallic surfaces may cause

decomposition of am m onia generating hydrogen, a flammable gas.

Stop flow of gas. Use water fog to keep fire-exposed containers cool and to

protect personnel effecting the shut-off. Wear self-contained breathing

apparatus (SCBA) and encapsulating chemical protective clothing.

Approach fire upwind and evacuate area downwind. Em ergency

responders in the danger area shou ld wear bunker gear and self-

contained breathing apparatus for fires beyond the incipient stage

(29CFR 1910.156). In addition, wear other appropriate protective

equipment as conditions warrant (See Section VIII). Isolate damage area,

keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done with

minimal risk. If this cannot be done, allow fire to burn. Move undamaged

containers from danger area if it can be done with minimal risk. Stay away

from ends of container. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or

dispersing vapors. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be

done with minimal risk.

Dry Chemical or carbon dioxide are recommended extinguishing media.

Stop flow of gas before extinguishing fire. Use water spray to keep fire

exposed containers cool. Extinguish fire using agent suitable for

surrounding fire.

Combustible. Wear goggles, self-contained breathing appara tus, and

rubber over clothing (including gloves). Stop flow of gas, or liquid if

possible. Let fire burn. If material involved in fire: Cool all affected containers with flooding

quantities of water. Apply water from as far distance as possible. Use water

spray to knock-down vapors. Solid streams of water may spread fire. Don

not use water on material itself. Do not apply water to point of leak in tank

car or container.

Containment

And Clean-Up

Note t hat although ammonia gas is light er than air, sudden release may

generate an aerosol of liquefied ammonia which may cling to the ground

for long distances. May ign it e in th e presence of open flames and

sparks.

Narrow lower to upper combustion range (16-25%) makes ignition

difficult. Keep all sources of ignition away from spill/release. Do not apply

water onto leaking tank. Stop the flow of gas or liquid. Use water to

protect personnel effecting the shut -off . Approach from upwind.

Evacuate the area immediately. Eliminate all open flames in vicinity of

indoor spills or released vapor. Water fog can be used to cleanse

atmosphere of ammonia vapor.

Downwind areas can be protected by water fog nozzles positioned

downwind.

Do not enter a visible cloud of ammonia. Isolate and evacuate the leak

or spill area immediately for at least 150 feet in all directions. For larger

spills, isolate at least 300 feet in all directions and then evacuate area

downwind at least 0.4 miles in width and at least 0.8 miles in lengt h.

Keep area isolated until gas has dispersed.

Dike liquid spills to contain liquid.

7. Handling and Storage

Safe Handling Contents are under pressure. The use of explosion-proof equipment is

recommended and may be required (see appropriate fire codes). Do not

enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without following proper entry

procedures such as ASTM D-4276. Protect against physical damage.

Storage

Work/ Hygienic

Practices

Ventilation

Outside shaded area or detached storage is preferred. Inside storage

should be in a cool, dry, well vent ilat ed, noncombustible location, away

from all possible sources of ign itio n.

Avoid contact with skin and avoid breathing vapors. Do not eat, drink, or

smoke in work area. Wash hands before eating, drinking, or using

restroom. Do NOT place food, coffee or other drinks in the area where

dusting or splash in g of solut ions is possible.

Local exhaust is essential. Spark-proof fans desirable with mechan ical

ventila t ion. Ducts shou ld be located at ceiling level and lead upwards to

the outs ide. Eyewash and safety shower should be available in work area.

Mobility in Soil When anhydrous ammonia is applied in the soil, ammonia reacts with

organic matter, and it dissolves in water. Anhydrous Ammonia reacts

with water to form ammonium. The initial reactions with water, organic

matter and clays limit the mobility of ammonia.

13. Disposal Considerations

Disposal of Container Because of the toxicity of ammonia to aquatic organisms, NEVER dispose

of or allow any ammonia or ammonia contaminated water to flow into any

surface water bodies. Surface water bodies include drainage ditches, storm

water and sanitary sewers, wetlands, ponds, lakes and streams. Diking will

contain the liquid and all ow it to stabilize. Keep unprotected personnel

away from area until it is free of ammonia. Do not apply water directly to

ammonia li quid as this will cause boiling and splattering. Soil

contaminated with ammonia or aqua ammonia may need to be excavated

and properly disposed of according to local and state regul ations.

Consult Federal, State, or Local Authorities for additional p roper disposal

procedures.
