Precautionary statements
P210 - Keep away from extremely high temperatures, ignition sources, and incompatible materials. No smoking. P221 - Take any precaution to avoid mixing with combustible material, oxidizable materials, and incompatible materials. P264 - Wash hands, forearms, and other exposed areas thoroughly after handling. P280 - Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection. P305+P351+P338 - IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P337+P313 - If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. P370+P378 - In case of incipient fire: Flood ammonium nitrate fertilizer with large volumes of low pressure water to extinguish fire and cool the ammonium nitrate after fire is extinguished. Do not fight fires beyond the incipient stage. P501 - Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local, regional, national, territorial, provincial, and international regulations.
2.3 Other hazards
Contact with combustible material will increase fire hazard. May undergo detonation if heated under confinement causing pressure buildup or if subjected to strong shocks. Solid ammonium nitrate when sensitized or during decomposition may become unstable and/or explosive. When ammonium nitrate is heated to decomposition, it may produce vapors which contain nitrogen oxides (NOx). Exposure may aggravate those with pre-existing eye, skin, or respiratory conditions. Overexposure may cause methemoglobinemia. Initial manifestation of methemoglobinemia is cyanosis, characterized by navy lips, tongue and mucous membranes, with skin color being slate grey. Further manifestation is characterized by headache, weakness, dyspnea, dizziness, stupor, respiratory distress and death due to anoxia. 2.4.
