4.First-aid measures
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
General advice
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled
Fresh air, rest.
In case of skin contact
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
In case of eye contact
Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer for medical attention.
If swallowed
Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink.
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
An allergen. Irritating to eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Toxic via inhalation, ingestion and percutaneous absorption. Repeated low grade exposures may cause headache, pruritis, skin eruptions, yellowing of skin and conjunctiva, vomiting, diarrhea, and oliguria. Severe human poisonings, resulting from ingestion of one or two grams of material, may be characterized by gastroenteritis, hemorrhagic nephritis with anuria, acute hepatitis, progressive stupor, coma, and death. (USCG, 1999)
Excerpt from ERG Guide 112 [Explosives* - Division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.5]: Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. (ERG, 2016)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Inorganic acids and related compounds/
5.Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Use extreme care as ammonium picrate will explode when heated or shocked, especially when dry. This chemical is a flammable solid. Use flooding quantities of water, applied from a distance ... If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters. Notify local health and fire officials and pollution control agencies. From a secure, explosion-proof location, use water spray to cool exposed containers. If cooling streams are ineffective (venting sound increases in volume and pitch, tank discolors or shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position ... The only respirators recommended for fire fighting are self-contained breathing apparatuses that have full facepieces and are operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Contain highly toxic NOx fumes. Behavior in Fire: Flammable solid. UNCONFINED material burns without detonation when ignited. Confined material will explode upon heating to its ignition temperature. (USCG, 1999)
Excerpt from ERG Guide 112 [Explosives* - Division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.5]: MAY EXPLODE AND THROW FRAGMENTS 1600 METERS (1 MILE) OR MORE IF FIRE REACHES CARGO. For information on "Compatibility Group" letters, refer to Glossary section. (ERG, 2016)
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
6.Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. For personal protection see section 8.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Consult an expert! Evacuate danger area! Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Consult an expert! Evacuate danger area! Personal protection: particulate filter adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.
7.Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. For precautions see section 2.2.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Separated from incompatible materials. See Chemical Dangers. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.Incompatible with strong oxidizers, strong bases. Contact with air causes substance to give off corrosive anhydrous ammonia fumes. Outside, detached storage is recommended. Store to avoid heat, shock, or the presence of reducing materials. Use only non-sparking tools and equipment, especially when opening and closing containers of this chemical. Sources of ignition, such as smoking and open flames, are prohibited where this chemical is used, handled, or stored in a matter that could create a potential fire or explosion hazard.

8.2 Appropriate engineering controls
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Eye/face protection
Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protection
Wear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
Respiratory protection
Wear dust mask when handling large quantities.
