Other physicochemical hazards
Not combustible. Melts when heated. When strongly heated it decomposes releasing toxic fumes that contain NOx, CO2 and ammonia. Urea is basically harmless when handled correctly. Nevertheless, the following points should be observed: Contact with skin and eyes: Prolonged contact may cause discomfort. Ingestion: Small quantities are unlikely to cause toxic effects. In large quantities it can produce disorders in the gastrointestinal tract.
Health hazards
Inhalation: High concentrations of dust in the air may cause nose and upper respiratory tract irritation with sore throat and cough symtoms. Long term local effects: Unknown adverse effects. Other Fire and heating Inhaling decomposition gases containing nitrogen and ammonium oxides can cause irritation and have corrosive effects on the respiratory system. Urea is a nitrogen fertilizer. Heavy spillage may cause an adverse environmental impact such as eutrophication (developing undesireable flora) in confined
Environmental hazards
surface waters. Due to chemical reactions in the soil, ammonia can be released. (See section 12). * To understand the full meaning of hazard statements (H): see section 16
