exposure exposure may result in drowsiness, breathing difficulties and methaemoglobinemia (blood's oxygen-carrying
 capacity is reduced).

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
12.1 Toxicity
An environmental hazard cannot be excluded in the event of unprofessional handling or disposal.

12.2 Persistence and degradability
No information provided.

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
No information provided.

12.4 Mobility in soil
No information provided.

12.5 Other adverse effects
Ammonium nitrate is a nutrient in water. Spills can cause massive algal blooms in static waters and affect local species population
balance in the aquatic environment. If water is used to disperse ammonium nitrate spilled on soil, the solution produced can end up in
the groundwater. Ammonium nitrate will be taken up by bacteria. Nitrate is more persistent in water than the ammonium ion.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
13.1 Waste treatment methods
Waste disposal Waste must be disposed of in accordance with AS2187.2 as well as state regulatory and environmental
 legislation. Small quantities of damaged or deteriorated material may be destroyed by inclusion in a blast
 hole containing good explosives (by licensed personnel). Detonators should not be inserted into defective
 explosives. For large quantities, contact the manufacturer/supplier for additional information.
Legislation Dispose of in accordance with relevant local legislation.
