AMMONIA, ANHYDROUS: TOXICITY DATA: 15 ul/kg oral-man TDLo; 20 ppm inhalation-human TCLo; 5000 ppm/5 minute(s) inhalation-human LCLo; 132 mg/kg unreported-man LDLo; 2000 ppm/4 hour(s) inhalation-rat LC50; 4230 ppm/1 hour(s) inhalation-mouse LC50; 7 gm/m3/1 hour(s) inhalation-cat LC50; 7 gm/m3/1 hour(s) inhalation-rabbit LC50; 5000 ppm/5 minute(s) inhalation-mammal LCLo; 173 mg/kg/4 week(s) continuous oral-rat TDLo; 300 ppm/6 hour(s)-5 day(s) intermittent inhalation-rat TCLo; 455 mg/m3/8 hour(s)-90 day(s) intermittent inhalation-rat TCLo; 960 mg/m3/4 hour(s)-17 week(s) intermittent inhalation-rat TCLo; 711 ppm/6 hour(s)-14 day(s) intermittent inhalation-mouse TCLo; 470 mg/m3/8 hour(s)-90 day(s) intermittent inhalation-dog TCLo; 470 mg/m3/8 hour(s)-90 day(s) intermittent inhalation-rabbit TCLo; 145 ppm/5 week(s) continuous inhalation-pig TCLo; 25 ppm/6 day(s) continuous inhalation-pig TCLo; 470 mg/m3/8 hour(s)-90 day(s) intermittent inhalation-guinea pig TCLo LOCAL EFFECTS: Corrosive: inhalation, skin, eye, ingestion ACUTE TOXICITY LEVEL: Moderately Toxic: inhalation MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: eye disorders, respiratory disorders, skin disorders and allergies TUMORIGENIC DATA: 1680 mg/kg oral-rat TDLo/24 week(s) continuous MUTAGENIC DATA: mutation in microorganisms - Escherichia coli 1500 ppm (-S9) 3 hour(s); cytogenetic analysis - rat inhalation 19800 ug/m3 16 week(s) HEALTH EFFECTS: INHALATION: ACUTE EXPOSURE: AMMONIA, ANHYDROUS: Concentrations of 5 ppm may cause minimal irritation; 9-50 ppm may cause nasal dryness, olfactory fatigue, and moderate irritation; 125-137 ppm may cause definite nose, throat, and chest irritation; and 150 ppm may cause laryngeal spasm. Exposure to 500 ppm for 30 minutes may cause cyclic hyperpnea, increased blood pressure and pulse rate, and upper respiratory tract irritation, sometimes persisting for 24 hours; 700 ppm may cause immediate irritation; 1500-10,000 ppm may cause dyspnea, convulsive coughing, chest pain, respiratory spasm, pink frothy sputum, rapid asphyxia, and delayed pulmonary edema which may be fatal. Other effects may include runny nose, swelling of the lips, restlessness, headache, salivation, nausea, vomiting, glottal edema, pharyngitis, tracheitis, and difficulty in speaking. Death may result from bronchopneumonia or asphyxiation due to spasms, inflammation, or edema of the larynx. Residual effects may include hoarseness, productive cough, decreased respiratory function, chronic airway dysfunction, alveolar disease, bronchiolitis, bronchiectasis, emphysema, and anxiety neuroses. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: AMMONIA, ANHYDROUS: Depending on the concentration and duration of exposure, repeated or prolonged exposure may cause inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the mouth, possible bronchial and gastrointestinal disturbances, and effects similar to acute exposure. Tolerance to usually irritating concentrations may be acquired by adaptation. In animals, continuous or repeated exposure to sublethal concentrations have produced adverse effects on the respiratory tract, liver, kidneys and spleen. SKIN CONTACT: ACUTE EXPOSURE: AMMONIA, ANHYDROUS: Exposure to 10,000 ppm may cause mild irritation to moist skin. Direct contact with solutions or high vapor concentrations (>30,000 ppm) may cause severe pain, a stinging sensation, severe burns and vesiculation, and possibly brownish stains. The corroded areas are soft, gelatinous, and necrotic, and the tissue destruction may be deep. If burns are extensive, death may occur. Rarely, vapor exposure may result in urticaria. Due to rapid evaporation, the liquid may cause frostbite with redness, tingling, and pain, or numbness. In more severe cases, the skin may become hard and white and blisters may develop. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: AMMONIA, ANHYDROUS: Effects depend on the concentration and duration of exposure. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause dermatitis or effects similar to acute exposure. EYE CONTACT: ACUTE EXPOSURE: AMMONIA, ANHYDROUS: Exposure to 140 ppm caused slight irritation to human eyes; 700 ppm caused immediate irritation. Direct contact with solutions or high vapor concentrations (>2500 ppm) may cause severe irritation, swelling of the eyelids, lacrimation, blepharospasm, palpebral edema, increased intraocular pressure, oval semidilated fixed pupils, corneal ulceration, possibly severe, and temporary blindness. The degree of injury depends on the concentration and duration of contact. There may be destruction of epithelium, corneal and lenticular opacification, and iritis, accompanied by hypopyon or hemorrhages and possibly extensive loss of pigment from the posterior pigment layer of the iris. When damage is less than excessive, these symptoms tend to ameliorate. In severe burns, the extent of the injury may not be immediately apparent. Late complications may include persistent edema, vascularization and scarring of the cornea, permanent opacity, acute-angle glaucoma, staphyloma, cataract, atrophy of the retina and iris, and symblepharon. Due to rapid evaporation, the liquid may cause frostbite with pain, redness, and blurred vision. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: AMMONIA, ANHYDROUS: Effects depend on concentration and duration of exposure. Repeated or prolonged contact may result in conjunctivitis or effects as in acute exposure. Exposure for several weeks to 675 ppm caused irritation of the eyes of dogs and rabbits and opacity over one-fourth to one-half of the cornea in rabbits. INGESTION: ACUTE EXPOSURE: AMMONIA, ANHYDROUS: Ingestion of solutions may cause immediate pain and circumoral burns and corrosion of the mucous membranes which at first turn white and soapy and then become brown, edematous, and ulcerated. There may be profuse salivation. Swallowing and speech may be difficult at first and then almost impossible. Even when there is no evidence of oral burns, the esophagus and stomach may be involved with burning pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. The vomitus may be thick and slimy with mucous, and later contain blood and shreds of mucous membrane. Epiglottal edema may result in respiratory distress and possibly asphyxia. Shock with marked hypotension, weak and rapid pulse, shallow respiration, and clammy skin may occur. Circulatory collapse may ensue, and if uncorrected, lead to renal failure. In severe cases, esophageal or gastric perforation are possible and may be accompanied by mediastinitis, substernal pain, peritonitis, abdominal rigidity, and fever. Esophageal, and possibly gastric or pyloric stricture may occur within a few weeks, but may be delayed for months or even years. Death may result within a short time from asphyxia, circulatory collapse, or aspiration of even minute amounts. Later, death may be due to the complications of perforation, pneumonia, or the effects of stricture formation. Ingestion of a gas is unlikely. If liquid is swallowed, frostbite damage to the lips, mouth and mucous membranes may occur. CHRONIC EXPOSURE: AMMONIA, ANHYDROUS: Depending on the concentration, repeated ingestion may result in inflammatory and ulcerative effects on the oral mucous membranes and other effects as with acute ingestion. Ingestion of 80-130 mg/L for 17 months resulted in chronic acidosis and tissue changes in rabbits.
