AMMONIA BUFFER SOLUTION

Inhalation Remove affected person from source of contamination. Move affected person to fresh air and
keep warm and at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Get medical attention if any
discomfort continues.

Ingestion Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water.
Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not
enter the lungs. Get medical attention immediately.

Skin contact Remove contaminated clothing and rinse skin thoroughly with water. Continue to rinse for at
least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do.
Continue rinsing. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

Protection of first aiders First aid personnel should wear appropriate protective equipment during any rescue.

4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
General information The severity of the symptoms described will vary dependent on the concentration and the
length of exposure.

Inhalation Vapours irritate the respiratory system. May cause coughing and difficulties in breathing.

Ingestion May cause chemical burns in mouth, oesophagus and stomach. Fumes from the stomach
contents may be inhaled, resulting in the same symptoms as inhalation.

Skin contact Causes severe burns. Severe skin irritation. Redness. Itchiness.

Eye contact Causes burns. Risk of serious damage to eyes. Corneal damage. Profuse watering of the
eyes.

media

5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Specific hazards Water used for fire extinguishing, which has been in contact with the product, may be
corrosive.

Hazardous combustion Thermal decomposition or combustion products may include the following substances:
products Ammonia or amines. Hydrogen chloride (HCl).

5.3. Advice for firefighters

Protective actions during Fight fire from safe distance or protected location. Keep upwind to avoid inhalation of gases,
firefighting vapours, fumes and smoke. Cool containers exposed to heat with water spray and remove
them from the fire area if it can be done without risk. Control run-off water by containing and
keeping it out of sewers and watercourses.

Special protective equipment Wear chemical protective suit. Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
for firefighters (SCBA) and appropriate protective clothing. Firefighter's clothing conforming to European
standard EN469 (including helmets, protective boots and gloves) will provide a basic level of
protection for chemical incidents.
