SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Identification/Emergency Overview (as defined by OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 191 0.1200) Appearance and Odor Off- white, to gray granules with a fertilizer-like odor. Statements of Health Hazards: Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not breathe concentrated dusts. May cause eye, nose, throat and skin irritation. (particularly in sensitive persons) and is irritating to the upper respiratory tract expected from unprotected breathing of fertilizer dust. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Eye protection and rubber gloves should be used when handling this material. Since children could ingest toxic doses of fertilizers, these products should be stored in a secure place and keep containers tightly closed. Do not puncture, drop or slide. These blended dry fertilizers are typically mixtures of potassium, phosphates, chlorides nitrates, sulfur, sulfates, urea, and micro-ingredient range quantities of metal salts such as iron, manganese, copper and zinc. A review of the ingredient salts indicates that ingestion may cause diarrhea, purging, and flatulence. Nausea and vomiting could be expected upon large dose ingestion. The acute effects of ingestion are described as nausea, chills and diarrhea. Keep out of reach of children! In case of exposure, see First Aid in Section 7. Wash thoroughly with plenty of soap and water after use. NOTE: the full chemical and toxicological characteristics of this material have not been fully investigated. Good laboratory practice should be practiced and followed when using this chemical. For airborne particulates, the OSHA P.E.L. (for inert or nuisance dust) is 15 mg/m3 total dust, 5 mglm3 respirable (29 CFR 1910.1,000 Table Z-3). For ACGIH, the T.L.V. is 10 and 5 mglm3 respectively. ***** Read the entire MSDS for a more thorough evaluation of the hazards.
