Inhalation: high dust concentrations containing this product may cause irritation to the nose and airways, leading to symptoms such as sore throat and coughing. Thermal decomposition products: intake of gases generated from thermal decomposition, which contain nitrogen oxides and ammonia, may cause irritation to the respiratory system.

Environmental hazards

Calcium ammonium nitrate is a nitrous fertiliser, therefore substantial spreading is likely to have a negative impact on the environment, contaminating enclosed water surfaces and affecting eutrophy, or contaminating lands, running waters or the underground water with nitrate.
