3. Hazards Identification

Emergency overview : warning! Harmful if swallowed or inhaled.

Causes irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory tract.

Potential Health Effects

Inhalation : Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms

may include coughing, shortness of breath. May be absorbed into the
bloodstream with symptoms similar to ingestion.

Ingestion : Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.

Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May also cause
headache, confusion and electrolyte depletion.

Skin Contact : Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness,

itching, and pain.

Eye Contact : Causes irritation, redness, and pain.

Chronic Exposure : A study of 67 workers in an environment with high

airborne concentrations of urea found a high incidence of protein
metabolism disturbances, moderate emphysema, and chronic weight
loss.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Supersensitive individuals with
skin or eye problems, kidney impairment or asthmatic condition should
have physician's approval before exposure to urea dust.
4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial

respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

Ingestion : Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical

personnel.. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get
medical attention.

Skin Contact : Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention
if symptoms occur.

Eye Contact : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical
attention immediately.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Fire : Not considered to be a fire hazard.

Explosion : Reactions with incompatibles may pose 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.
6. Accidental Release Measures

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective

equipment as specified in Section 8.

Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal.

Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.

7. Handling and Storage

Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area.

Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances.
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.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits :

For Urea : AIHA Workplace Environmental Exposure Limit (WEEL): 10

mg/m3, 8-hour TWA

Ventilation System : A system of local and/or general exhaust is

recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure
Limits. 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): If the exposure limit is exceeded
and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate
respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten
times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by
the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is
lowest.. A full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters)
may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use
concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or
respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. 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-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING:
Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres. If heat is involved, an ammonia/methylamine, dust/mist
cartridge may be necessary.

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.

10. Stability and Reactivity

Stability : Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Urea decomposes upon heating and

can form products including ammonia, oxides of nitrogen, cyanuric acid,
cyanic acid, biuret, carbon dioxide.

Hazardous Polymerization : Will not occur.

Incompatibilities : Urea reacts with calcium hypochlorite or sodium

hypochlorite to form the explosive nitrogen trichloride. It is incompatible
with sodium nitrite, gallium perchlorate, strong oxidizing agents
(permanganate, dichromate, nitrate, chlorine), phosphorus
pentachloride, nitrosyl perchlorate, titanium tetrachloride and chromyl
chloride.

Conditions to Avoid : Incompatibles.

12. Ecological Information

Environmental Fate : When released to soil, this material will hydrolyze

into ammonium in a matter of days to several weeks. When released into
the soil, this material may leach into groundwater. When released into
water, this material may biodegrade to a moderate extent. When released
into water, this material is not expected to evaporate significantly. This
material has an experimentally-determined bioconcentration factor (BCF)
of less than 100. This material is not expected to significantly
bioaccumulate. When released into the air, this material is expected to be
readily degraded by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl
radicals. When released into the air, this material is expected to have a
half-life of less than 1 day.
Environmental Toxicity : No information found.

13. Disposal Considerations

Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be managed in

an appropriate and approved waste disposal facility. Processing, use or
