2.3 Other hazards

NA 3.2 Human health The product is basically harmless when handled correctly. However, the following points should be noted. Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may cause some irritation. Eye Contact: May cause irritation following contact. Ingestion: Small quantities are unlikely to cause toxic effect. Large quantities may give rise to gastro-intestinal disorders in extreme cases (particularly in children) formation of methaemoglobin (‘Blue baby’ syndrome) and cyanosis (indicated by blueness around the mouth) may occur. Inhalation: High dust concentrations of air-borne material may cause irritation of the nose and upper respiratory tract with symptoms such as sore throat and coughing. Long term effects: No adverse effects are known. Fire and thermal Molten material will cause burns and inhalation of decomposition gases can cause decomposition products: Irritation and corrosive effects on the respiratory system. Some lung effects may be delayed.

Environmental hazards

As this fertilizer contains nitrate and phosphate, heavy spillage may cause adverse environmental impact such as eutrophication in confined surface waters or nitrate contamination of ground or surface water. (See Section 12). 3.4 Other Fire, heating and detonation:  The fertilizers are not themselves combustible but, they can support combustion even in the absence of air. When strongly heated, they melt and decompose.  Heating of fertilizers under strong confinement (e.g. in tubes or drains) may lead to a violent reaction or explosion especially if there is contamination by some of the substances mentioned in 10.3.  On decomposition, water vapor and toxic gases such as nitrogen oxides and ammonia may be given off.
