Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE MAY RELEASE YELLOW OR BROWN FUMES. WEAR A
NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. EVACUATE AREA DOWNWIND FROM FUMES. FIGHT LARGE
FIRES FROM PROTECTED LOCAT ION. USE WATER IN LARGE AMOUNTS. IT IS
IMPORTANT THE MASS OF MATERIAL BE KEPT COOL AND THAT BURNING BE
EXTINGUISHED.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:OXIDIZING AGENT; SUPPORTS COMBUSTION AND
IS CAPABLE OF UNDERGOING DETONATION IF HEATED UNDER CONFINEMENT
THAT PERMITS HIGH PRESSURE BUILD-UP, OR IF SUBJECTED TO STRONG
SHOCKS, SUCH AS THOSE FROM AN EX PLOSIVE. ORGANIC AND OTHER EASILY
OXIDIZABLE MATTER CAN SENSITIZE IT TO A MORE READILY EXPLODABLE
STATE.

Spill Release Procedures:RECOVER FOR USE IF NOT CONTAMINATED. SWEEP UP

TIGHTLY CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Other Precautions:NOTE: DRY AMMONIUM NITRATE OF ANY GRADE, INCLUDING
FERTILIZER, WHEN CONTAMINATED WITH OIL, CHARCOAL, OR OTHER ORGANIC
SUBSTANCES AND FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AN EXPOSIVE,
CAPABLE OF DET ONATION BY COMBUSTION, OR BY EXPLOSION OF ADJACENT
EXPLOSIVES. REMOVE AND WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING .

Respiratory Protection:NONE SHOULD BE NEEDED IN NORMAL LABORATORY
HANDLING. IF DUSTY CONDITIONS PREVAIL, WORK IN VENTILATION HOOD OR
WEAR A NIOSH-APPROVED DUST MASK OR RESPIRATOR.
