AMMONIA
Ammonia is a toxic, colourless gas that is highly corrosive and
irritative to eyes, respiratory organs and skin. It readily dissolves
in water, it is chemically stable and has a strong characteristic
smell. Ammonia, which is lighter than air, expands and forms an
aerosol mist on contact with air and air humidity.
Use approved equipment and suitable protective gear when
working with ammonia.
DANGER!
Ammonia is toxic and harmful to health in larger
concentrations. Discharges can cause personal
injury and damage the environment.
In the event of an accident/ammonia discharge
1. Evacuate all people within the risk area. Persons exposed
to ammonia fumes should be taken to safety immediately. It
is important that they breathe fresh air.
2. If possible, shut off the supply of ammonia.
DANGER!
Do not spray water directly onto the liquid
ammonia. Water directly sprayed onto liquid
ammonia will cause a considerable gas genera-
tion that may aggravate the situation.
3. Notify the responsible plant supervisor.
4. Never take unnecessary risks.
5. Observe local regulations.
Fire risk with the use of ammonia
If ammonia is present in open areas with frequent air changes,
it is usually hard to ignite.
DANGER!
In enclosed rooms the quantity of ammonia
in the air may reach such a concentration that
there is a risk of fire and explosion.
