3. Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview:
Instant cold upon mixing of components/ingredients.
If packaging is broken, direct contact with solution may be irritating to the
skin, eyes, throat, and mucous membranes. Ingestion may cause
vomiting, stomach upset, and gastritis.
Potential Health Effects:
Eye contact: Unlikely under normal conditions of handling or usage. Direct
contact with solution may be irritating to the skin.
Ingestion: Unlikely under normal conditions of handling or usage. May cause
vomiting, stomach upset, gastritis (stomach inflammation), metabolic
acidosis, diuresis (increased urination),vasodilatation, and
methemoglobinemia.
Inhalation: Unlikely under normal conditions of handling or usage. Inhalation of
solution may be irritating to mucus membranes.
Skin contact: Unlikely under normal conditions of handling or usage. Direct
contact with solution may be irritating to the skin.
Carcinogen status: OSHA: Not listed.
NTP: Not listed.
IARC: Not listed.
Medical conditions
aggravated by exposure: Kidney or intestinal dysfunction.
Potential physical effects: Ammonium nitrate pellets, prior to mixing, may explode from heat
or contamination, can accelerate burning when involved in a fire,
can react explosively with hydrocarbons.
4. First Aid Measures
Eye contact: Flush with large amount of water for at least 15 minutes. If redness or irritation
occurs, seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If patient is alert, dilute with 4 to 8 ounces of water or milk. Since ammonium nitrate
has some irratative effects on the gastrointestinal tract, removing the material
immediately by gastric lavage may be preferable to inducing vomiting with syrup of
ipecac, which often takes at least 20 minutes to act.
Inhalation: Nonvolatile liquid. Remove person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen
and get medical attention. If person is not breathing, administer artificial respiration
or CPR and get medical attention.
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash the effected area with mild detergent and
water. Flush area with water for at least 15 minutes. If redness or irritation occurs,
seek medical attention.

5. Fire Fighting Measures
Nonflammable solution. Ammonium nitrate pellets, prior to mixing, may explode from heat or contamination,
can accelerate burning when involved in a fire, can react explosively with hydrocarbons.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Small spills can be taken up with an absorbent and placed in clean dry containers for later
disposal.
This product is a non-hazardous waste when spilled or disposed of, as defined in Resource
Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations (40 CFR 261).
7. Handling and Storage
Store under the following conditions:
Store at room temperature (not to exceed 104°F/40°C). Protect from freezing.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Eye protection: If waterproof packaging is broken, wear safety glasses.
Gloves: If waterproof packaging is broken, use Latex or other
impervious gloves.
Respiratory Protection: No respiratory protection needed under normal
conditions of handling and use.
Skin Protection: No skin protection needed under normal conditions of
handling and use.
Ventilation: No ventilation should be required under normal conditions of
handling and use.
Exposure guidelines or limits: No occupational exposure limits established by ACGIH
or OSHA.
9. Physical and Chemical Properties
Appearance: Clear to off white liquid packaged in a waterproof container.
Boiling point: Not established.
Freezing point: Not established.
Vapor pressure: Not established.
Specific gravity: Not established.
Solubility in water: Soluble.
pH: 3.0 (solution).
10. Stability and Reactivity
Hazardous polymerization: Not reported to occur under normal temperatures and
pressures.
Reactivity: Yes, instant cold upon mixing of ingredients. Ammonium
nitrate pellets, prior to mixing, react violently with reducing
agents, strong acids, powdered metals, and organic materials.
