SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures

If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids
Eye Contact
by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
If skin contact occurs:
Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
Skin Contact
Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to
Inhalation initiating first aid procedures.
Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask
device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain
open airway and prevent aspiration.
Observe the patient carefully.
Ingestion
Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming
unconscious.
Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.
Seek medical advice.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treat symptomatically.
for irritant gas exposures:
the presence of the agent when it is inhaled is evanescent (of short duration) and therefore, cannot be washed away or otherwise
removed
arterial blood gases are of primary importance to aid in determination of the extent of damage. Never discharge a patient significantly
exposed to an irritant gas without obtaining an arterial blood sample.
supportive measures include suctioning (intubation may be required), volume cycle ventilator support (positive and expiratory
pressure (PEEP), steroids and antibiotics, after a culture is taken
If the eyes are involved, an ophthalmologic consultation is recommended
Occupational Medicine: Third Edition; Zenz, Dickerson, Horvath 1994 Pub: Mosby
For acute or short term repeated exposures to ammonia and its solutions:
Mild to moderate inhalation exposures produce headache, cough, bronchospasm, nausea, vomiting, pharyngeal and retrosternal pain
and conjunctivitis. Severe inhalation produces laryngospasm, signs of upper airway obstruction (stridor, hoarseness, difficul ty in
speaking) and, in excessively, high doses, pulmonary oedema.
Warm humidified air may soothe bronchial irritation.
Test all patients with conjunctival irritation for corneal abrasion (fluorescein stain, slit lamp exam)
Dyspneic patients should receive a chest X-ray and arterial blood gases to detect pulmonary oedema.

For ammonia:
Ammonia forms explosive mixtures with oxygen, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, iodine, mercury, platinum and
silver.
Fire and/or explosion may follow contact with acetaldehyde, acrolein, aldehydes, alkylene oxides, amides,
antimony, boron, boron halides, bromine chloride, chloric acid, chlorine monoxide, o-chloronitrobenzene,
1-chloro-2,4-nitrobenzene, chlorosilane, chloromelamine, chromium trioxide, chromyl chloride,

isocyanates, nitrogen tetraoxide, nitrogen trichloride, nitryl chloride, organic anhydrides, phosphorous
trioxide, potassium ferricyanide, potassium mercuric cyanide, silver chloride, stibine, tellurium halides,
tellurium hydropentachloride, tetramethylammonium amide, trimethylammonium amide, trioxygen difluoride,
Storage vinyl acetate.
incompatibility Shock-, temperature-, and pressure sensitive compounds are formed with antimony, chlorine, germanium
compounds, halogens, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, mercury oxide, silver compounds (azides, chlorides,
nitrates, oxides).
Vapours or solutions of ammonia are corrosive to copper, copper alloys, galvanised metal and aluminium.
Mixtures of ammonia and air lying within the explosive limits can occur above aqueous solutions of varying
strengths.
Avoid contact with sodium hydroxide, iron and cadmium.
Several incidents involving sudden "boiling" (occasionally violent) of a concentrated solution (d, 0.880, 35
wt %.) have occurred when screw-capped winchesters are opened. These are attributable to
supersaturation of the solution with gas caused by increases in temperature subsequent to preparation
and bottling. The effect is particularly marked with winchesters filled in winter and opened in summer.
Ammonia polymerises violently with ethylene oxide.
Ammonia attacks some coatings, plastics and rubber.
Attacks copper, bronze, brass, aluminium, steel and their alloys.
Phosphates are incompatible with oxidising and reducing agents.
Phosphates are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of
strong reducing agents such as hydrides.
Partial oxidation of phosphates by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.

MATERIAL DATA
for exposure to ammonia gas/ vapours:
Odour Threshold Value: Variously reported as 0.019 ppm and 55 ppm; AIHA Value 16.7 ppm (detection)
NOTE: Detector tubes for ammonia, measuring in excess of 1 ppm, are commercially available.
The TLV-TWA is thought to be protective against irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract and minimise discomfort among workers
that are not inured to its effects and systemic damage. Acclimatised persons are able to tolerate prolonged exposures of up to 100
ppm without symptoms. Marked irritation has been seen in persons exposed to ammonia concentrations between 50 and 100 ppm
only when the exposures involved sudden concentration peaks which do not permit short-term acclimatisation. The detoxification
capacity of the liver is significant since the amount of ammonia formed endogenously in the intestines markedly exceeds that from
external sources.

Human exposure effects, at vapour concentrations of about:

Concentration Possible Effects
(ppm)
5 minimal irritation
9-50 nasal dryness, olfactory fatigue and moderate irritation
125-137 definite nose, throat and chest irritation

140 slight eye irritation

150 laryngeal spasm
500 30 minute exposures may produce cyclic hypernea, increased blood pressure and pulse rate, and upper respiratory
tract irritation which may persist for 24 hours
700 immediate eye irritation
1,500-10,000 dyspnea, convulsive coughing, chest pain, respiratory spasm, pink frothy sputum, rapid asphyxia and delayed
pulmonary oedema which may be fatal. Other effects include runny nose, swelling of the lips, restlessness, headache,
salivation, nausea, vomiting, glottal oedema, pharyngitis, tracheitis, and speech difficulties. Bronchopneumonia,
asphyxiation due to spasms, inflammation, and oedema of the larynx, may be fatal. Residual effects include
hoarseness, productive cough, and decreased respiratory function
>2,500 severe eye irritation, with swelling of the eyelids,
lachrymation, blepharospasm, palpebral oedema, increased intraocular pressure, oval semi-dilated, fixed pupils, corneal
ulceration (often severe) and temporary blindness. Depending on duration of exposure, there may be destruction of the
epithelium, corneal and lenticular opacification, and iritis accompanied by hypopyon or haemorrhage and possible loss
of pigment from the posterior layer of the iris. Less severe damage is often resolved. In the case of severe damage,
symptoms may be delayed; late complications including persistent oedema, vascularisation and corneal scarring,
permanent opacity, acute angle glaucoma, staphyloma, cataract, and atrophy of the retina, iris, and symblepharon.
Long-term exposure to sub-acute concentrations or single exposures to high concentrations may produce chronic
airway dysfunction, alveolar disease, bronchiolitis, bronchiectasis, emphysema and anxiety neuroses

Exposure controls
CARE: Explosive vapour air mixtures may be present on opening vessels which have contained liquid
ammonia. Fatalities have occurred
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard.
Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be
independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the
worker and ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can
remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The design of a ventilation system must match the
particular process and chemical or contaminant in use.
Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.

Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals; even when
particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will be powdered by mutual friction.
If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could occur, respiratory
protection should be considered.
Such protection might consist of:
(a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption cartridge;
(b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type;
(c): fresh-air hoods or masks.
Appropriate Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine
engineering the "capture velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.
controls
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher 1-2.5 m/s (200-500
dusts, gas discharge (active generation into zone of rapid air motion) f/min.)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated dusts (released at 2.5-10 m/s
high initial velocity into zone of very high rapid air motion). (500-2000 f/min.)

Within each range the appropriate value depends on:

Lower end of the range Upper end of the range

1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to capture 1: Disturbing room air currents
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only. 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood-local control only

Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction
pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases).
Therefore the air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after reference to distance
from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of
4-10 m/s (800-2000 f/min) for extraction of crusher dusts generated 2 metres distant from the extraction
point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within the extraction apparatus,
make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction
systems are installed or used.

Personal
protection

Safety glasses with side shields.

Chemical goggles.
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A
written policy document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for
each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of
Eye and face
chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in
protection
their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin
eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the
first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers
have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national

DIAMMONIUM PHOSPHATE
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality
which vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances,
the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior
to the application.
The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective
gloves and.has to be observed when making a final choice.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves
include:
frequency and duration of contact,
chemical resistance of glove material,
glove thickness and
dexterity
Select gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN 374, US F739, AS/NZS 2161.1 or national
equivalent).
When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher
Hands/feet (breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent)
protection is recommended.
When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time
greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is recommended.
Some glove polymer types are less affected by movement and this should be taken into account when
considering gloves for long-term use.
Contaminated gloves should be replaced.
Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried
thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.
Experience indicates that the following polymers are suitable as glove materials for protection against
undissolved, dry solids, where abrasive particles are not present.
polychloroprene.
nitrile rubber.
butyl rubber.
fluorocaoutchouc.
polyvinyl chloride.

Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ceases. This
may be due to a non-allergenic condition known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which
can occur following exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Key criteria for the diagnosis of
RADS include the absence of preceding respiratory disease, in a non-atopic individual, with abrupt onset of
persistent asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. A
DIAMMONIUM
reversible airflow pattern, on spirometry, with the presence of moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity
PHOSPHATE
on methacholine challenge testing and the lack of minimal lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia, have
also been included in the criteria for diagnosis of RADS. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is
an infrequent disorder with rates related to the concentration of and duration of exposure to the irritating
substance. Industrial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a disorder that occurs as result of exposure due to
high concentrations of irritating substance (often particulate in nature) and is completely reversible after
exposure ceases. The disorder is characterised by dyspnea, cough and mucus production.

Wastes resulting from use of the product must be disposed of on site or at approved waste sites.
In air ammonia is persistent whilst, in water, it biodegrades rapidly to nitrate, producing a high oxygen demand. Ammonia is strongly
adsorbed to soil. Ammonia is non-persistent in water (half-life 2 days) and is moderately toxic to fish under normal temperature and
pH conditions. Ammonia is harmful to aquatic life at low concentrations but does not concentrate in the food chain. Ammonium ions
may be toxic to fish at 0.3 mg/l
Drinking Water Standards:
0.5 mg/l (UK max.)

Soil Guidelines: none available.
Air Quality Standards: none available.

The principal problems of phosphate contamination of the environment relates to eutrophication processes in lakes and pon ds.
Phosphorus is an essential plant nutrient and is usually the limiting nutrient for blue-green algae. A lake undergoing eutrophication
shows a rapid growth of algae in surface waters. Planktonic algae cause turbidity and flotation films. Shore algae cau se ugly
muddying, films and damage to reeds. Decay of these algae causes oxygen depletion in the deep water and shallow water near the
shore. The process is self-perpetuating because anoxic conditions at the sediment/water interface causes the release of m ore
adsorbed phosphates from the sediment. The growth of algae produces undesirable effects on the treatment of water for drinkin g
purposes, on fisheries, and on the use of lakes for recreational purposes.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
