LIFE SUPPORT: o This overview assumes that basic life support measures have been instituted. CLINICAL EFFECTS: 0.2.1 SUMMARY OF EXPOSURE

0.2.1.1 ACUTE EXPOSURE A) Ammonium phosphate, monobasic is a mild eye irritant. Concentrated solutions may irritate the skin. Mild respiratory tract irritation, nausea, and vomiting may be seen after inhalation of vapor. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may occur following ingestion. B) It has been postulated that ingestion or parenteral injection of large quantities might result in systemic ammonia poisoning, but there are no reported human cases. C) If ammonium phosphate, monobasic is heated to the point of decomposition, fumes of oxides of phosphorus, oxides of nitrogen, and ammonia may be released and cause more severe respiratory tract irritation. 0.2.4 HEENT 0.2.4.1 ACUTE EXPOSURE A) Mild eye, nose, and throat irritation may occur. 0.2.6 RESPIRATORY 0.2.6.1 ACUTE EXPOSURE A) Inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation. 0.2.8 GASTROINTESTINAL 0.2.8.1 ACUTE EXPOSURE A) Nausea and vomiting may occur with inhalation or ingestion. Diarrhea and abdominal cramps may be noted following ingestion. 0.2.14 DERMATOLOGIC 0.2.14.1 ACUTE EXPOSURE A) Mild dermal irritation may occur with direct exposure to concentrated solutions. 0.2.20 REPRODUCTIVE HAZARDS A) At the time of this review, no data were available to assess the potential effects of exposure to this agent during pregnancy or lactation. 0.2.21 CARCINOGENICITY 0.2.21.1 IARC CATEGORY A) IARC Carcinogenicity Ratings for CAS7722-76-1 (IARC Working Group on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans, 2006; IARC Working Group on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans, 2007; IARC Working Group on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans, 2010; IARC Working Group on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans, 2010a; IARC Working Group on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans, 2008; IARC, 2004): 1) Not Listed LABORATORY: A) Patients with significant respiratory tract irritation should have baseline arterial blood gases and chest x-ray. TREATMENT OVERVIEW: 0.4.2 ORAL EXPOSURE A) Significant toxicity is not expected except perhaps after extremely large ingestions. In general dilution is the only form of decontamination needed. B) DILUTION: Immediately dilute with 4 to 8 ounces (120 to 240 mL) of water or milk (not to exceed 4 ounces/120 mL in a child). C) Avoid induction of emesis. D) GASTRIC LAVAGE: Consider after ingestion of a potentially life-threatening amount of poison if it can

be performed soon after ingestion (generally within 1 hour). Protect airway by placement in the head down left lateral decubitus position or by endotracheal intubation. Control any seizures first. 1) CONTRAINDICATIONS: Loss of airway protective reflexes or decreased level of consciousness in unintubated patients; following ingestion of corrosives; hydrocarbons (high aspiration potential); patients at risk of hemorrhage or gastrointestinal perforation; and trivial or non-toxic ingestion. E) ACTIVATED CHARCOAL: Administer charcoal as a slurry (240 mL water/30 g charcoal). Usual dose: 25 to 100 g in adults/adolescents, 25 to 50 g in children (1 to 12 years), and 1 g/kg in infants less than 1 year old. F) If significant vomiting or diarrhea occur, replace fluid and electrolyte losses. 0.4.3 INHALATION EXPOSURE A) INHALATION: Move patient to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis. Administer oxygen and assist ventilation as required. Treat bronchospasm with inhaled beta2 agonist and oral or parenteral corticosteroids. B) If significant respiratory tract irritation is present, administer 100% humidified supplemental oxygen with assisted ventilation as required. 0.4.4 EYE EXPOSURE A) DECONTAMINATION: Irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of room temperature water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist, the patient should be seen in a health care facility. 0.4.5 DERMAL EXPOSURE A) OVERVIEW 1) DECONTAMINATION: Remove contaminated clothing and wash exposed area thoroughly with soap and water. A physician may need to examine the area if irritation or pain persists. RANGE OF TOXICITY: A) Maximum tolerated doses have not been established; it is generally considered to be of low toxicity.

Over 95% pf the phosphate fertilizer used in the United States is made by processes that require an initial conversion of all or part of the phosphate ore to phosphoric acid. The two principle routes are a thermal route and a wet-process route. The thermal route involves electric furnace smelting of the ore using coke and silica to produce elemental phosphorus, which is converted into phosphoric acid by burning (oxidation) and then absorbing the P2O5 in water. The wet process involves an initial step in which the ore is solubilized in sulfuric acid, or in a few special instances in some other acid. The second principle step in the wet process is filtration to separate phosphoric acid from the precipitated calcium phosphate. The phosphoric acid is then combined with ammonia.[Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. 4th ed. Volumes 1: New York, NY. John Wiley and Sons, 1991-Present., p. V10 455] **PEER REVIEWED** GENERAL MANUFACTURING INFORMATION: Pure monoammonium phosphate has a grade 12.1-61.7-0 (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium), but is never made for fertilizer use. Made from wet-process acid, the grade for fertilizer use is typically 10-54-0 to 11-52-0, but may be as low as 10-50-0, depending on the impurity level of the starting acid.[Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. 4th ed.
