3. Hazards
Identification Emergency Overview UNDANGER!It is a new nitrogenous and calcareous fertilizer
with characteristics of high efficiency and quickly make-up
Nitrogen, applied in greenhouse and large-area farmland. It
improves the soil and granulates the soil making it anti-caking.
When employed in industrial crops, flowers, fruits and vegetables,
it extends florescence, spurs the root, the stem and the leaf to
grow normally, guarantees fruits in gay colors and increases
carbohydrate contents in fruits. It is a high-efficiency
environmental protection greening fertilizer.
Potential Health
Effects Inhalation:
Causes irritation to the respiratory
tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of
breath.
Ingestion:
Causes irritation to the
gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May cause gastroenteritis and abdominal pains. Purging
and diuresis can be expected. Rare cases of nitrates being
converted to the more toxic nitrites have been reported, mostly
with infants.
Skin Contact:
Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms
include redness, itching, and pain.
Eye Contact:
Causes irritation, redness, and
pain.
Chronic Exposure:
Under some circumstances
methemoglobinemia occurs in individuals when the nitrate is
converted by bacteria in the stomach to nitrite. Nausea, vomiting,
dizziness, rapid heart beat, irregular breathing, convulsions,
coma, and death can occur should this conversion take place.
Chronic exposure to nitrites may cause anemia and adverse effects
to kidney.
4. First Aid
Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.
1.Page
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed
by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least *5 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse.
Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of
water for at least *5 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids
occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
5. Fire Fighting
Measures
Fire:
Not combustible, but substance is a
strong oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or
combustibles may cause ignition.
Explosion:
Some nitrates may explode when shocked,
exposed to heat or flame, or by spontaneous chemical reaction.
Sealed containers may rupture when heated. Sensitive to mechanical
impact.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, Halon,
water spray, or fog. If water is used, apply from as far a distance
as possible. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed
containers cool. Do not allow water runoff to enter sewers or
waterways.
Special Information:
Wear full protective clothing and
breathing equipment for high-intensity fire or potential explosion
conditions. This oxidizing material can increase the flammability
of adjacent combustible materials.
6. Accidental Release
Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Sweep
up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet
sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal
7. Handling and
Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container,
Protect from physical damage. Stored in a cool, dry, ventilated
area. Incompatible with combustibles, organic materials,
powdered metals, ammonia, hydrazine, reducing
agents.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal
Protection
The substance presents no
explosive.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust
is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control
the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing
dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the
ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended
Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH
Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to
the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face dust/mist respirator may
be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are
not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied
respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect
workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.

Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing,
including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as
appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or full
face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work
area.

*1. Disposal
Considerations
Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or
recycling should be handled as hazardous waste and sent to a RCRA
approved waste facility. Processing, use or contamination of this
product may change the waste management options. State and local
disposal regulations may differ from federal disposal regulations.
Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with
federal, state and local requirements.
