Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:

itching, and pain.
Eye Contact: Monoammonium Phosphate
causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention.
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 15
minutes. Remove 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 15
minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
Mono Ammonium Phosphate is not considered to be a fire hazard. Fire may
produce toxic fumes.
Explosion: Monoammonium Phosphate is not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire over Mono Ammonium
Phosphate.
Special Information: In the event of a fire over
Monoammonium Phosphate, wear full protective
clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or
spill of Mono
Ammonium Phosphate. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Spills: Pick up and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal,
using a method that does not generate dust.
7. Handling and Storage
Keep
Mono Ammonium Phosphate in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry,
ventilated area. Protect Mono Ammonium
Phosphate against physical damage. Isolate
Monoammonium Phosphate from incompatible
substances. Containers of
Mono Ammonium Phosphate may be hazardous when empty since they
retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions
listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
None established for
Mono Ammonium Phosphate.
Ventilation System: In general, dilution ventilation is a satisfactory
health hazard control for Monoammonium Phosphate. However, if conditions of use create
discomfort to the worker, a local exhaust system should be considered.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where
exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible,
a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil
particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a
NIOSH type R or P filter. 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.
