Synonyms: ammonium ferric citrate
CAS No.: 1185-57-5
Molecular Weight: Not applicable to mixtures.
Chemical Formula: C6H8O7.xFe.xNH3
Product Codes: 935
Ingredient CAS No Percent Hazardous
------------------------------- ------------ ------------ ---------
Ferric Ammonium Citrate 1185-57-5 90 - 100% Yes
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust may cause irritation to the upper
respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Low toxicity in small quantities but larger dosages may cause
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and black stool. Pink urine discoloration is a
strong indicator of iron poisoning. Liver damage, coma, and death from iron
poisoning has been recorded.
Skin Contact: Mild irritant to skin due to acidic nature of ferric salts.
Eye Contact: Mild irritant due to acidic nature of ferric salts.
Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin
disorders or eye problems, or impaired liver, kidney or respiratory function may
be more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical
attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice
if irritation develops.
Eye Contact: Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if
irritation develops.
Fire: As with most organic solids, fire is possible
at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition source.
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.
Remove all sources of
ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Clean up spills in a manner that
does not disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparking tools and equipment.
Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water. Pick up
spill for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Protect from light. 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: -ACGIH Threshold Limit
Value (TLV):1 mg/m3 (TWA) soluble iron salt as Fe
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.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses. Maintain eye wash fountain and
quick-drench facilities in work area.
