MSDS contain additional health hazard data, spill or leak procedures and handling information. Be sure to keep a set separate from the storage area.

Anhydrous ammonia is an important source of nitrogen fertilizer for crops.
Improper handling of anhydrous ammonia can have catastrophic results on both plants and farm workers. Common injuries are severe burns to eyes, skin and the respiratory tract. Standard PPE should be non-vented goggles, rubber gloves with thermal lining, face shield or an approved respirator. Wear a long-sleeve shirt or coveralls. A lightweight rubber suit would be preferred.
