eMATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET <br /> SECTION V-REACTIVITY <br /> Stability: Hazardous Polymerization: <br /> Stable Will not occur <br /> Conditions to Avoid: Materials to Avoid: <br /> Heat,open flames. Contact with oxidizing gases,chlorine,bromine,iodine, <br /> halogens,calcium,and strong mineral acids. Contact <br /> with copper,silver,zinc,and alloys of same. Mercury, <br /> silver oxide or hypochlorite can form explosive <br /> compounds. <br /> ' I <br /> Hazardous Decomposition Products: <br /> Combustion will yield nitrogen and water <br /> Chemical Data Management Systems 12 <br /> s MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET <br /> SECTION VI-HEALTH HAZARDS <br /> INGESTION Ingestion of liquid ammonia may result in severe irritation or ulceration of the mouth <br /> throat and digestive tract which may be displayed by nausea vomiting diarrhea and in severe cases <br /> collapse shock and death. <br /> INHALATION Irritation to the mucous membranes of the nose throat and lungs is noticeable at 100 ppm. <br /> Concentrations above 400 ppm will cause throat irritation and may destroy mucous surfaces upon prolonget <br /> contact.High concentrations can cause pulmonary edema.Breathing air containing concentrations greater <br /> than S 000 ppm may cause sudden death from spasm or inflammation of the larynx. <br /> SKIN Liquid Ammonia produces severe skin burns on contact.Ammonia:gas may cause skin irritation: <br /> especially if skin is moist.The liquid can cause skin damage resulting from combined freezing and <br /> corrosive action on the skin.Atmospheric concentrations above 30 000 ppm will bum and blister skin <br /> atter a few seconds of exposure. <br /> EYES Exposure to high gas concentrations may cause temporary blindness and severe eye damage.Direct <br /> contact of the eyes with liquid ammonia will produce serious eye bums. <br /> i Ggrd00lleraidty Lialx l�%A <br /> Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: <br /> Burning of the eyes conjunctivitis skin irritation swelling of the eyelids and lips dry red mouth and tongu <br /> burning in the throat and coughing.In more severe cases of exposure difficulty in breathing signs and <br /> symptoms of lung congestion and ultimately death from inspiratory failure due to pulmonary edema may <br /> occur. <br /> Chemical Data Management Systems 13 <br />
