Ingestion of liquid ammonia may result in severe irritation or ulceration of the mouth, throat and digestive tract which may be displayed by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and, in severe cases, collapse, shock and death. Unhaiatioun: Irritation to the mucous membranes of the nose, throat and lungs is noticeable at 100 ppm. Concentrations above 400 ppm will cause throat irritation and may destroy mucous surfaces upon prolonged contact. High concentrations can cause pulmonary edema. Breathing air containing concentrations greater than 5,000 ppm may cause sudden death from spasm or inflammation of the larynx. Skin: Liquid Ammonia produces severe skin burns on contact. Ammonia gas may cause skin irritation, especially if skin is moist. The liquid can cause skin damage resulting from combined freezing and corrosive action on the skin. Atmospheric concentrations above 30,000 ppm will burn and blister skin after a few seconds of exposure. Eyes: Exposure to high gas concentrations may cause temporary blindness and severe eye damage. Direct contact of the eyes with liquid ammonia will produce serious eye burns. Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Can cause burning of the eyes, conjunctivitis, skin irritation, swelling of the eyelids and lips, dry red mouth and tongue, burning in the throat, and coughing, and in more severe cases of exposure, difficulty in breathing, signs and symptoms of lung congestion, and, ultimately, death from respiratory failure due to pulmonary edema may occur. Effects of Overexposure: Can cause irritation and bums of the skin and mucous membranes, and headache, salivation, nausea, and vomiting. Difficult or labored breathing and cough with bloody mucous discharge. Can cause bronchitis, laryngitis, hemoptysis, and pulmonary edema or pneumonitis. Death may result. Can cause ulceration of the conjunctiva and cornea, and corneal and lenticular opacities. Damage to the eyes may be permanent. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Ammonia is a respiratory irritant. Persons with impaired pulmonary function may be at an increased risk from exposure. Also pre - existing skin disorders may be aggravated by exposure. Section IIM - First Aid Measures - -- Ingestion: If this gas is swallowed in liquid form, keep victim warm and OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. If signs of respiratory obstruction develop, immediately transport to medical facility. Do not induce vomiting. Never give fluids or induce vomiting if patient is unconscious or having convulsions. Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Give oxygen if breathing is difficult. If breathing has stopped, start artificial respiration. OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. Slain: Apply water immediately to exposed areas of skin and continue for at least 30 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing, shoes, and constrictive clothing while continuing to apply water, being careful not to tear the skin. If skin surface is damaged, apply a clean dressing. If skin surface is not damaged, cleanse the affected area(s) thoroughly with mild soap and water. Do not apply salves or ointments to affected areas. OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. Eyes: Remove victim to fresh air. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 30 minutes with the eyelids held apart. OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. Section M - Fire Fighting Measures - - -� Flash Point: N/A Loeser Explosive Limit: 16% by Volume A utoignition Temperature: 651° C; 1204 °F Upper Explosive Limit: 25% by Volume Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Gas may ignite at vapor concentrations between 16% and 25% in air. However, ammonia -air mixtures are difficult to ignite and burn with little vigor. In the absence of oxygen enrichment, the risk of initiating an accidental fire or explosion is low. Do not allow ammonia vapors to accumulate in confined areas where ignition may occur. Intense heating particularly in contact with hot metallic surfaces may cause decomposition of ammonia generating hydrogen, a flammable gas. Extinguishing Media: Use Water Spray or Water Fog, Carbon Dioxide, Polar or Alcohol Foam, Dry Chemical. Halon may decompose into toxic materials. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying halon or carbon dioxide in confined spaces. Special Firefighting Procedures: Stop flow of gas. Use water fog to keep fire - exposed containers cool and to protect personnel effecting the shut -off. Wear self - contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and encapsulating chemical protective clothing. Approach fire upwind and evacuate area downwind. Emergency responders in the danger area should wear bunker gear and self- contained breathing apparatus for fires beyond the incipient stage (29CFR 1910.156). In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant (See Section VIII). Isolate damage area, keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill /release if it can be done with minimal risk. If this cannot be done, allow fire to bum. Move undamaged containers from danger area if it can be done with minimal risk. Stay away from ends of container. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done with minimal risk. Scion VX - Accidental Release Measures Steps To Be Taken In Caste Maiteriai Is Released Or Spilled: Isolate and evacuate the leak or spill area immediately for at least 150 feet in all directions. For larger spills, isolate at least 300 feet in all directions and then evacuate area downwind at least 0.4 miles in width and at least 0.8 miles in length. Keep area isolated until gas has dispersed. Note that although ammonia gas is lighter than air, sudden release may generate an aerosol of liquefied ammonia which may cling to the ground for long distances. May ignite in the presence of open flames and sparks. Narrow lower to upper combustion range (16 -25 %) makes ignition difficult. Keep all sources of ignition away from spill /release. Do not apply water onto leaking tank. Stop the flow of gas or liquid. Wear full protective clothing and self- contained breathing apparatus. Use water to protect personnel effecting the shut -off. Approach from upwind. Dike liquid spills to contain liquid. Evacuate the area immediately. Eliminate all open flames in vicinity of indoor spills or released vapor. Water fog can be used to cleanse atmosphere of ammonia vapor. Downwind areas can be protected by water fog nozzles positioned downwind. - - - - - -- Sion VEX - Handling and Storage - -- — - Contents are under pressure. The use of explosion -proof equipment is recommended and may be required (see appropriate fire codes). Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without following proper entry procedures such as ASTM D -4276. Protect against physical damage. Outside shaded area or detached storage is preferred. Inside storage should be in a cool, dry, well ventilated, noncombustible location, away from all possible sources of ignition. Separate from other chemicals, particularly oxidizing gases, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and acids. Avoid ingestion, inhalation, and contact with skin or eyes. Section VXXX - Exposure Contro0s / Persona 0 Protection - - - - -- - —� Respiratory Protection: Unless ventilation is adequate to keep concentration below permissible exposure limit (PEL), wear NIOSH approved ammonia chemical cartridge or canister full facepiece chin -style respirators with an-air- purification factor (APF =50). In emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations, use self - contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or any supplied -air full facepiece chin -style respirators. Ventilation: Local exhaust is essential. Spark -proof fans desirable with mechanical ventilation. Ducts should be located at ceiling level and lead upwards to the outside. Protective Clothing: Rubber or synthetic chemical gloves and boots should be worn as well as cotton clothing and underwear. Rubber or synthetic chemical coats or aprons should be available, an encapsulating chemical protective clothing garment is desirable for heavy exposures. Eye Protection: Gas -tight chemical safety goggles must be wom if there is a likelihood of exposure. Persons subject to ammonia exposure must not wear contact lenses. Other Protective Clothing or'(Equipment: Eyewash fountain and safety shower should be available in work area. The use of long sleeved clothing closed at the neck is advised. Change if clothing becomes contaminated.

Short term exposure: Sulfuric acid may cause irritation of eyes, nose, and throat. Prolonged contact may cause severe burns. Long term ex sure: Repeated contact causes irritation and skin burns. Repeated exposure to mist may cause erosion of teeth, chronic eye irritation and/or chronic inflammation of the nose, throat, and bronchial tubes. TUGET ORGAN (Electrolyte) respiratory system, eyes, skin, and teeth Carcinogenicity: Sulfuric Acid: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified "strong inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid" as a Category 1 carcinogen, a substance that is carcinogenic to humans. This classification does not apply to liquid forms of sulfuric acid contained within a battery. Inorganic acid mist (sulfuric acid mist) is not generated under normal use of this product. Misuse of the product such as overcharging, may result in the generation of sulfuric acid mist. Lead Compounds: Lead is listed as a 2B carcinogen, likely in animals at extreme doses. Proof of carcinogenicity in humans is lacking at present. nic: Listed by National Toxicology Program (NTP), IARC, OSHA and NIOSH as a carcinogen only after prolonged exposure at high levels. Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Acid contact may cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Breathing of mist may produce respiratory difficulty. Contact with eyes and skin causes irritation and skin burns. Sulfuric acid is a CORROSIVE chemical, Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Sulfuric Acid Mist exposure may aggravate medical conditions such as, pulmonary edema, bronchitis, emphysema, dental erosion, and tracheobronchitis. Pregnant women and children must be protected from lead exposure. Emergency and First Aid Procedures: (Sulfuric Acid) I) Flush contacted area with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.
