International Chemical Safety Cards AMMONIA (ANHYDROUS) ICSC: 0414 NH3 Molecular mass: 17.03 (cylinder) ICSC #    0414 CAS #     7664-41-7 RTECS # BO0875000 UN #        1005 EC #         007-001-00-5 March 27, 1998 Peer reviewed TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS PREVENTION FIRST AID/ FIRE FIGHTING FIRE Flammable. NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. In case of fire in the surroundings: all extinguishing agents allowed. EXPLOSION Gas/air mixtures are explosive. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water. EXPOSURE AVOID ALL CONTACT!  •INHALATION Burning sensation. Cough. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. Sore throat. Symptoms may be delayed (see Notes). Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration if indicated. Refer for medical attention.  •SKIN Redness. Skin burns. Pain. Blisters. ON CONTACT WITH LIQUID: FROSTBITE. Cold-insulating gloves. Protective clothing. ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes. Refer for medical attention.  •EYES Redness. Pain. Severe deep burns. Face shield, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.  •INGESTION SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Ventilation. NEVER direct water jet on liquid. Remove gas with fine water spray. (Extra personal protection: gas-tight chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus). Fireproof. Separated from oxidants, acids, halogens. Cool. Keep in a well-ventilated room.

No modifications to the International version have been made except to add the OSHA PELs, NIOSH RELs and NIOSH IDLH values.

International Chemical Safety Cards AMMONIA (ANHYDROUS) ICSC: 0414 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS, COMPRESSED LIQUEFIED GAS , WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. PHYSICAL DANGERS: The gas is lighter than air. CHEMICAL DANGERS: Shock-sensitive compounds are formed with mercury, silver and gold oxides. The substance is a strong base, it reacts violently with acid and is corrosive. Reacts violently with strong oxidants and halogens. Attacks copper, aluminum, zinc and their alloys. Dissolves in water evolving heat. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: 25 ppm; 17 mg/m3 (as TWA); 35 ppm; 24 mg/m3 (as STEL) (ACGIH 1997). MAK: 20 ppm; 14 mg/m3; (1993) OSHA PEL: TWA 50 ppm (35 mg/m3) NIOSH REL: TWA 25 ppm (18 mg/m3) ST 35 ppm (27 mg/m3) NIOSH IDLH: 300 ppm ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation. INHALATION RISK: A harmful concentration of this gas in the air will be reached very quickly on loss of containment. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin, and the respiratory tract. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause lung oedema (see Notes). Rapid evaporation of the liquid may cause frostbite. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Boiling point: -33°C Melting point: -78°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.7 at -33°C Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 54 Vapour pressure, kPa at 26°C: 1013 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 0.59 Auto-ignition temperature: 651°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 15-28 ENVIRONMENTAL DATA The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. N O T E S The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. Turn leaking cylinder with the leak up to prevent escape of gas in liquid state.
