| FIFRA-Anforderungen | As the federal pesticide law FIFRA directs, EPA is conducting a comprehensive review of older pesticides to consider their health and environmental effects and make decisions about their future use. Under this pesticide reregistration program, EPA examines health and safety data for pesticide active ingredients initially registered before November 1, 1984, and determines whether they are eligible for reregistration. In addition, all pesticides must meet the new safety standard of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Ammonium sulfamate is found on List A, which contains most food use pesticides and consists of the 194 chemical cases (or 350 individual active ingredients) for which EPA issued registration standards prior to FIFRA '88. Case No: 0016Pesticide type: herbicideRegistration Standard Date: 4/1/1981Case Status: No products containing the pesticide are actively registered. Therefore, we are characterizing the case as "cancelled." Under FIFRA, pesticide producers may voluntarily cancel their registered products. EPA also may cancel pesticide registrations if registrants fail to pay required fees or make/meet certain reregistration commitments, or if EPA reaches findings of unreasonable adverse effects.Active ingredient (AI): ammonium sulfamateAI Status: The active ingredient is no longer contained in any registered products ...

| Reactivity Profile | AMMONIUM SULFAMATE is incompatible with the following: Acids, hot water [Note: Elevated temperatures cause a highly exothermic reaction with water.] (NIOSH, 2024). |
|---|
| Chemical Dangers | Decomposes above 160 °C . This produces ammonia, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. The solution in water is a weak acid. Attacks mild steel. Contact with hot water may cause formation of large amounts of steam. Reacts with acids and strong oxidants. |

| Brandbekämpfungsverfahren | /During fire fighting/ wear goggles and self-contained breathing apparatus.If material involved in fire, extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. Material itself does not burn, or burns with difficulty.Fire Fighting: Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in a pressure-demand or other positive pressure mode. |

| Reinigungsverfahren | Environmental considerations - Land spill: Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, or holding area to contain liquid or solid material. /SRP: If time permits, pits, ponds, lagoons, soak holes, or holding areas should be sealed with an impermeable flexible membrane liner./ Cover solids with a plastic sheet to prevent dissolving in rain or fire fighting water.Environmental considerations: Water spill: Add calcium hypochlorite. Adjust pH to neutral (pH 7). Use mechanical dredges or lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants and precipitates.Spillages of pesticides at any stage of their storage or handling should be treated with great care. Liquid formulations may be reduced to solid phase by evaporation. Dry sweeping of solids is always hazardous: these should be removed by vacuum cleaning, or by dissolving them in water, or other solvent in the factory environment. /Pesticides/Persons not wearing protective equipment and clothing should be restricted from areas of spills until cleanup has been completed. If ammonium sulfamate is spilled, the following steps should be taken: 1. Ventilate area of spill. 2. Collect spilled material in the most convenient and safe manner and deposit in sealed containers. Liquid containing ammonium sulfamate should be absorbed in vermiculite, dry sand, earth, or similar material.Transfer gradually into a large container of cold water while stirring. After completion of reaction, neutralize with either 3M-HCl or 6M-NH4OH according to the pH of the solution. |

| Entsorgungsverfahren | SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational exposure or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the materials impact on air qualitypotential migration in soil or watereffects on animal, aquatic, and plant lifeand conformance with environmental and public health regulations. |

| Verschüttetes entsorgen | Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. Then wash away with plenty of water. |

| Preventive Measures | SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.Avoid prolonged contact of skin with strong solution. In case of contact, wash off with plenty of water.If material not on fire and not involved in fire: Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Keep Material out of water sources and sewers. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary. Attempt to stop leak if without undue personnel hazard.Personnel protection: Avoid breathing vapors. Keep upwind. ... Do not handle broken packages unless wearing appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash away any material which may have contacted the body with copious amounts of water or soap and water. Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires involving this material.For more Preventive Measures (Complete) data for AMMONIUM SULFAMATE (7 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |
