NILE CHEMICALS
Synonyms: Ferric ammonium 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:
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.
