P501 - Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local, regional, national, territorial, provincial, and international regulations.

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 contaminated, 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). See Section 10.2 for list of materials that may contaminate ammonium nitrate. 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
