Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire-control water for later disposal. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2016)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids. SPILL: Increase, in the downwind direction, as necessary, the isolation distance shown above. FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2016)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent dust cloud. Avoid inhalation of asbestos dust. SMALL DRY SPILL: With clean shovel, place material into clean, dry container and cover loosely; move containers from spill area. SMALL SPILL: Pick up with sand or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal. LARGE SPILL: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. (ERG, 2016)

Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.|SRP: Contaminated protective clothing should be segregated in such a manner so that there is no direct personal contact by personnel who handle, dispose, or clean the clothing. Quality assurance to ascertain the completeness of the cleaning procedures should be implemented before the decontaminated protective clothing is returned for reuse by the workers. Contaminated clothing should not be taken home at end of shift, but should remain at employee's place of work for cleaning.|SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

Irritating to eyes, skin, nose and throat.

Persons in charge of vessels or facilities are required to notify the National Response Center (NRC) immediately, when there is a release of this designated hazardous substance, in an amount equal to or greater than its reportable quantity of 5000 lb or 2270 kg. The toll free number of the NRC is (800) 424-8802; In the Washington D.C. metropolitan area (202) 426-2675. The rule for determining when notification is required is stated in 40 CFR 302.4 (section IV. D.3.b).

Urinary anti-infective

Inhalation of dust may irritate nose. Contact with eyes causes irritation. Ingestion leads to nausea and vomiting. (USCG, 1999)

INHALATION: move to uncontaminated atmosphere. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. EYES: flush with water for at least 15 min. SKIN: wash with soap and water. Ingestion: if conscious, induce vomiting. (USCG, 1999)

Method 417G: Automated Phenate Method for the determination of ammonia nitrogen. This method is used to determine ammonia concentrations in potable, surface, and Saline waters as well as domestic and industrial wastewaters over a range of 0.02 to 2.0 mg/l. Photometric measurement is made at 630 to 660 nm. For ammonia concentrations of 1.41, 0.77, 0.59, and 0.43 mg/l, the standard deviation was + 0.005 or -0.005. /Ammonia/|Method 417E Ammonia: Selective Electrode Method. This method is applicable for the measurement of 0.03 to 1400 mg nitrogen ammonia/l in potable and surface waters and domestic and industrial wastes. The ammonia selective electrode uses a hydrophobic gas permeable membrane to separate the sample solution from an electrode internal solution of ammonium chloride. Ammonia diffuses through the membrane and changes the internal solution pH, which is sensed by a pH electrode. In an inter-laboratory study (12 laboratories) using effluent water samples at 0.04, 0.10, 0.80, 20, 100, and 750 mg/l, mean recovery was 100, 470, 105, 95, 97, and 99%, respectively. /Ammonia/|Method 417D: Titrimetric Method for the Determination of Ammonia Nitrogen. This method is applicable to ammonia concentrations in wastewater effluent greater than 5 mg/l. After distillation, the sample is titrated with 0.02 N sulfuric acid until a lavender color forms. For concentrations of 200, 800, and 1500 ug/l, relative standard deviation is 69.8, 28.6, and 21.6% respectively, and relative error is 20.0, 5.0, and 2.6%, respectively. /Ammonia/|Method 417C: Phenate Method for the Determination of Ammonia Nitrogen. This manual colorimetric technique is used to determine ammonia concentrations in wastewater effluent from 10 to 500 ug/l. The blue compound, indophenol, is formed by the reaction of ammonia, hypochlorite, and phenol catalyzed by a manganous salt. For ammonia concentrations of 200, 800, and 1500 ug/l, relative standard deviation is 39.2, 15.8, and 26.0%, respectively, and relative error is 2.4, 1.5, and 10.0%, respectively. /Ammonia/|For more Analytic Laboratory Methods (Complete) data for AMMONIUM BENZOATE (7 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
