SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Classification of the substance or mixture Classification of the substance according Directive 1272/2008/EC Danger property: Skin Corr.1B, STOT SE 3, Aquatic Acute 1 H-phrases H314+335+400 The most important adverse physicochemical effects Heating can release hazardous gases (flammable gas, toxic by inhalation) The most important adverse for human health Inhalation: May cause irritation by inhalation Ingestion: Causes burns Skin: Causes burns Eye: Causes severe burns Ammonia anhydrous: Acutely toxic following inhalation exposure. Causes severe burns and damage to the skin when applied to human skin. Following inhalation exposure at low concentration, coughing, irritation of the respiratory tract, eye irritation and lacrymation, wet noses and nasal discharge occur Inhalation at higher concentration can cause burning of the nose, throat and respiratory tract and bronchiolar and alveolar oedema, dyspnoea, bronchospasm and respiratory distress may also occur. No mutagenic activity is expected. There is no evidence of carcinogenicity following exposure. No adverse reproductive effects are likely to occur following exposure. In a neurotoxicity study conducted on human volunteers investigating developmental toxicity/teratogenicity, no effect on spontaneous abortion was observed The most important adverse for the environment Very toxic to aquatic organisms

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Classification of the substance according Directive 1272/2008/EC: Danger property: Skin Corr.1B, STOT SE 3, Aquatic Acute 1 H-phrases: H314+335+400 The most important adverse physicochemical effects: Heating can release hazardous gases (flammable gas, toxic by inhalation). The most important adverse for human health: Inhalation: May cause irritation by inhalation. Ingestion: Causes burns. Skin: Causes burns. Eye: Causes severe burns. Ammonia anhydrous: Acutely toxic following inhalation exposure. Causes severe burns and damage to the skin when applied to human skin. Following inhalation exposure at low concentration, coughing, irritation of the respiratory tract, eye irritation and lacrymation, wet noses and nasal discharge occur Inhalation at higher concentration can cause burning of the nose, throat and respiratory tract and bronchiolar and alveolar oedema, dyspnoea, bronchospasm and respiratory distress may also occur. No mutagenic activity is expected. There is no evidence of carcinogenicity following exposure. No adverse reproductive effects are likely to occur following exposure. In a neurotoxicity study conducted on human volunteers investigating developmental toxicity/teratogenicity, no effect on spontaneous abortion was observed. The most important adverse for the environment: Very toxic to aquatic organisms.
