If trained to do so,administer supplemental oxygen,if required. IF ON SKIN:Immediately rinse skin and contaminated clothing with plenty of water before removing clothes.Clothing that has been contacted by liquid ammonia may freeze to the skin.Thaw frozen clothing from skin before removing.Flush skin with copious amounts of tepid water for a minimum of 20 minutes.Do not rub or apply topical,occlusive compounds,such as ointments,certain creams,etc.,on affected area.For liquid ammonia contact,seek immediate medical attention. For severe vapor contact or if irritation persists,seek medical attention. IF IN EYES:Immediately rinse continuously with copious amounts of tepid water for a minimum of 20 minutes.Eyelids should be held apart and away from eyeball for thorough rinsing.Do not rub or apply topical,occlusive compounds,such as ointments,certain creams,etc.,on affected area.Seek medical attention. IF SWALLOWED:Rinse mouth.Do not induce vomiting.If conscious,give large amounts of water to drink.May drink orange juice, citrus juice or diluted vinegar(1:4)to counteract ammonia.If unconscious,do not give anything by mouth. Seek medical attention. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:Respiratory injury may appear as a delayed phenomenon.Pulmonary edema may follow chemical bronchitis. Supportive treatment with necessary ventilation actions,including oxygen,may warrant consideration. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water Spray,Water Fog,Dry Chemical,Carbon Dioxide(CO2)or foam. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Must wear protective clothing and a positive pressure SCBA. Stop flow of gas or liquid if possible. Approach fire upwind and evacuate area downwind if needed. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool and control vapors. If a portable container(such as a cylinder or trailer)can be moved from the fire area without risk to the individual,do so to prevent the pressure relief valve of the trailer or portable container from discharging or the cylinder from rupturing. If relief valves are inoperative,heat exposed storage containers may become explosion hazards due to over pressurization. Stay upwind when containers are threatened. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Outdoors,ammonia is not generally a fire hazard.Indoors,in confined areas,ammonia may be a fire hazard,especially if oil or other combustible materials are present. Combustion may form toxic nitrogen oxides(NO.). GENERAL: Only properly trained and equipped persons should respond to an ammonia release. Wear eye,hand and respiratory protection and protective clothing;see Section 8,Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Stop source of leak if possible,provided it can be done in a safe manner. Leave the area of a spill by moving laterally and upwind. Isolate the affected area.Non-responders should evacuate the area,or shelter in place. SPECIFIC STEPS TO BE TAKEN: For a hazardous material release response,Level A and/or Level B ensemble including positive-pressure SCBA should be used. A positive pressure SCBA is required for entry into ammonia atmospheres at or above 300 ppm(IDLH). Stay upwind and use water spray downwind of container to absorb the evolved gas. Do not apply water directly to container,unless there is heat impingement,as ammonia boils at-28°F(direct water will heat container),and more vapors will be released. Caution:Adding water directly to liquid spills will increase volatilization of ammonia,thus increasing the possibility of exposure. Contain spill and runoff from entering drains,sewers,streams,lakes and water systems by utilizing methods such as diking, containment,and absorption. Revision:November 1,2018 Anhydrous Ammonia Page 3 of 9 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: Only trained persons should handle anhydrous ammonia.Store in well-ventilated areas,with containers tightly closed.Protect from temperatures exceeding 120°F(48.8°C).Protect containers from physical damage. Keep away from ignition sources,especially in indoor spaces.Do not use plastic.Do not use any non-ferrous metals such as copper,brass,bronze,tin,zinc or galvanized metals.Use only stainless steel,carbon steel or black iron for anhydrous ammonia containers or piping. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.111 prescribes handling and storage requirements for anhydrous ammonia. Refer to Compressed Gas Association(CGA)G-2.1 for the recommendations for the storage and handling of anhydrous ammonia. VENTILATION: Local exhaust should be sufficient to keep ammonia vapor below applicable exposure standards. WORKPLACE PROTECTIVE E9UIPMENT: Protective equipment should be stored near,but outside of anhydrous ammonia area.

CHEMICAL STABILITY: Stable under normal ambient conditions of temperature and pressure.Heating a closed container causes vapor pressure to increase. Will not polymerize. POSSIBILITY OF HAZARDOUS REACTIONS: Will react exothermically with acids and water. CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid anhydrous ammonia contact with chlorine,which forms a chloramine gas,which is a primary skin irritant and sensitizer. Avoid contact with galvanized surfaces,copper,brass,bronze,mercury,gold and silver.A corrosive reaction will occur. INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS: Anhydrous ammonia is incompatible with acetaldehyde,acrolein,boron,chloric acid,chlorine monoxide,chlorites,nitrogen tetroxide, perchlorate,sulfur,tin and strong acids. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Anhydrous ammonia decomposes to hydrogen and nitrogen gases above 450°C(842°F).Decomposition temperatures may be lowered by contact with certain metals,such as iron,nickel and zinc and by catalytic surfaces such as porcelain and pumice. Potential health effects:Ammonia is an irritant and corrosive to the skin,eyes,respiratory tract and mucous membranes. Exposure to liquid or rapidly expanding gases may cause severe chemical bums and frostbite to the eyes,lungs and skin. Skin and respiratory related diseases could be aggravated by exposure.The extent of injury produced by exposure to ammonia depends on the duration of the exposure,the concentration of the liquid,gas or vapor and the depth of inhalation. Exposure Routes: Inhalation(vapors,gas),skin and/or eye contact(vapors, liquid,gas). Symptoms of acute exposure: Inhalation: Exposure may result in severe irritation and/or bums of the nose,throat and respiratory tract.May cause dyspnea (breathing difficulty),wheezing,chest pain,bronchospasm,pink frothy sputum,pulmonary edema or respiratory arrest. Extreme exposure may result in death from spasm,inflammation or edema.Respiratory injury may appear as a delayed phenomenon.Pulmonary edema may follow chemical bronchitis.Brief inhalation exposure to 5,000 ppm may be fatal. Skin: Irritation,corrosive burns,blister formation(vesiculation)may result.Contact with liquid may produce freeze bums (frostbite)and caustic bums. Eyes: Vapors may cause severe irritation.Tearing,eye burns,permanent eye damage or blindness may occur.Effects of direct contact may range from irritation and lacrimation to severe injury and blindness. Ingestion: Ingestion is unlikely since the material is a gas under normal atmospheric conditions.If ingested,it may cause bums and corrosion,severe pain of the mouth,throat,esophagus and stomach or may be fatal Chronic Exposure: Repeated exposure to ammonia may cause chronic irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract. Toxicity: LC50-5131 mg/m3(7338 ppm)to 11,592 mg/m3(16,600 ppm),60 minute exposure,Rat. LD50-350 mg/kg(Oral/Rat). Not listed in the National Toxicology Program(NTP).
