Ammonium Bicarbonate 1066-33-7 99 - 100% Yes
Inhalation: Dust may cause irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs.
Ammonia vapors released upon decomposition may cause irritation of the upper
respiratory tract, with coughing, vomiting, and redness to the mucous membranes.
Higher concentrations (> 1000 ppm) may cause restlessness, tightness in the
chest, pulmonary edema, weak pulse, and cyanosis.
Ingestion: Large oral doses may cause irritation to the gastrointestinal
tract.
Skin Contact: May cause irritation with redness and pain.
Eye Contact: May cause irritation, redness and pain.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention.
Ingestion: Give several glasses of water to drink to dilute. If large
amounts were swallowed, get medical advice.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at
least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before
reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation
develops.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if
irritation persists.
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard. Irritating
and toxic ammonia gas may form in fires.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective
clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills:
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry,
ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Store at temperatures below
80F (27C) to minimize decomposition.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain
product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for
the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits: None established.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the
contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work
area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where
exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible,
a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil
particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a
NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels
are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where
dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and
quick-drench facilities in work area.
Appearance: Fine white crystals.
Odor: Slight ammonia odor.

and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Burning may produce ammonia, nitrogen
oxides. Burning may produce ammonia, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen
oxides.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Can react dangerously with acids, caustic alkalis and
strong oxidizing agents.
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, incompatibles.
No LD50/LC50 information found relating to normal routes of occupational exposure.
