Statements

H272

May intensify fire; oxidiser

Other physicochemical hazards

The fertilizer is not itself combustible but it can support combustion, even in the absence of air. On heating it melts and further heating can cause decomposition, releasing toxic fumes containing nitrogen oxides and ammonia. Relatively resistant to detonation, but there is a risk of fire and explosion when heated in confined spaces and at high temperatures.

Potential health effects

The fertilizer causes eye irritation; inhalation of dust from ammonium nitrate can cause respiratory irritation and coughing; skin may become red in prolonged contact with the product.

Environmental effects

Large amounts of fertilizer can cause eutrophication of surface waters.
