Section 4. First Aid Measures

Eye Immediately irrigate eyes with flowing water continuously for a minimum of 15 minutes, while holding eyes open and washing beneath
eyelids. Contacts must be removed before or during flushing. Speed in rinsing eyes after contact is essential to prevent serious injury.
Obtain medical attention immediately.

Skin Immediately flood the affected skin area with water (safety shower is preferable) and remove clothing. Wash skin vigorously with flowing
water and soap for at least 15 minutes. Do not apply salve or ointment. Continue washing in serious cases until medical help arrives, even
for an hour or longer. Clothing should be discarded or washed before re-use. Obtain immediate medical attention.

Ingestion If the victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse the mouth with water and give large volumes of water to drink. If spontaneous vomiting
occurs, the affected person will lean forward with their head down. Rinse mouth again, and give more water to drink. Obtain medical
attention immediately.

Inhalation Remove affected people from the area to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial respiration ONLY if breathing
has stopped, and give CPR ONLY if there is no breathing and no pulse. Obtain immediate medical attention.

Note to Physician Treat patients symptomatically. Gastric lavage may be preferable to inducing vomiting due to corrosive effects of Ammonium
Hydroxide. Dilution with milk or water may help. Endoscopic evaluation of the patient may be warranted.

Section 5. Firefighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing media Dry chemical, Carbon Dioxide, Water Spray or Foam

Fire and Explosion Hazards Flammable vapors may be given off when exposed to heat, especially in closed containers. Vapors may form an explosive mixture
with air.

PPE and precautions for Avoid breathing vapors and keep upwind of fire. Move containers from area of fire if safely possible. Spray or fog of water is
firefighters effective on ammonia vapors. Firefighters should use NIOSH-approved self-containing breathing apparatus (SCBA) with positive
pressure full-face piece and wear impervious protective clothing.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures

Required PPE, Equipment and Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wear protective clothing, gloves and eye protection.
Procedures Keep unauthorized personnel away from the area.
Isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 ft.) for liquids.

Environmental Precautions Do not dump into any sewers, on the ground, or into any water body.

Methods and materials for Dike spills with sand or inert solid, and placed into drums or other containers that can be sealed. Very small spills may be flushed with
containment and cleanup large quantities of water and diluted.

Section 7. Handling and Storage

Handling Precautions Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wear proper protective clothing, gloves and eye protection. Wash thoroughly after handling
this product. Avoid breathing vapor or mist by using respiratory protective equipment.

Storage Precautions Store in a cool, well ventilated, dry location that is protected from physical damage, heat, or direct sunlight which may cause the
product to partially decompose. Keep from freezing. Do not apply heat to thaw. If frozen, allow the product to thaw at room temperature
and mix in a drum before using.

Section 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limit Values Ammonium Carbonate:

OSHA PEL: Not established for this material
Ammonium Chloride:
OSHA PEL: Not established for this material
ACGIH TLV (Fumes): 10mg/m3(8 Hr. TWA), 20mg/m3(STEL)
Ammonium Hydroxide
OSHA PEL: 50ppm (8 Hr. TWA for NH3)
ACGIH TLV: 25ppm (8 Hr. TWA for NH3), 35ppm (15 min STEL for NH3)

Engineering Controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended
exposure limits. Recommended guidance documents include “Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices,” by
ACGIH.

Individual Protection Measures Wear appropriate eye protection such as safety glasses, face shield or splash goggles. Use chemical resistant gloves made of
suitable material to prevent skin contact. The use of chemical resistant clothing is recommended.
A NIOSH / MSHA approved respirator is necessary if a worker may be exposed to airborne contaminant levels exceeding the
exposure limits given. For concentrations of ammonia vapors up to 300ppm, use an air purifying respirator (APR) with ammonia
cartridge. APRs must not be worn when there is insufficient oxygen in the workplace. Ammonia concentrations at or above
300ppm require the use of a self-containing breathing apparatus (SCBA) or equivalent. It is the employer’s responsibility to
ensure that the proper respiratory protection is used and that the worker is properly trained in the use and maintenance of
respirators.
Safety showers with quick opening valves which stay open, and eye wash fountains, or other means of washing the eyes with a
gentle flow of cool tepid water, should be readily available in all areas where this material is handled or stored.
