Safe for use in cosmetics, with qualifications

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Ammonium carbonate at 5, 10, 25, or 50 mg ammonium ion/l decreased the fertility of Daphnia magna, at 50 mg ammonium ion/L disrupted embryonic development, and at 10, 25, or 50 mg ammonium ion/L impaired postembryonic growth of the crustacea. Industrial sewage entering fishing waters apparently should contain about 1 mg ammonium ion/L.

/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ Short term exposure: Contact can irritate eyes and nose. Breathing ammonium carbonate can irritate the nose, throat and lungs, causing a cough and difficulty in breathing. Long term exposure: may cause lung problems.

/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ ... In Morocco, death rate from suicide due to self-administration of phostoxin pills is high. Clinical signs include abrupt digestive and nervous disorders. Pulmonary edema or cardiogenic shock dominate early prognosis. Liver and renal damage is secondary... /Phostoxin is a mixture of aluminium phosphide and ammonium carbonate/

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ Dog, oral, 40 g ammonium carbonate - vomiting, diarrhea. Dog, iv, 100 mg/kg - toxic. Dog, iv, 200 mg/kg - lethal.

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ Ammonium carbamate was prepared, and its identity and purity were shown. The compound decomposed below pH 10.4 to ammonium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate. The intravenous LD50 value in young mice for ammonium carbonate was calculated to be 1.02. The pharmacodynamic effects of the ammonium cmpd were the same as those observed in experimentally produced urea toxicosis in sheep, indicating that the dogs and sheep died from a cardiotoxic effect. This effect was caused by an apparent direct action of the ammonium cmpd on the heart.

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ Ammonium carbonate was administered iv to sheep number 1 for 12 days starting with a dose of 0.5 g and ending with a dose of 7 g, sheep number 2 for 9 days beginning with a dose of 1 g and ending with 7 g, & sheep number 3 for 6 days starting with a dose of 4 g and ending with 5 g. All the sheep died 1.5 min after the last dose. Changes included alkalosis of blood, hypertrophy of blood vessel walls in brain & perivascular necrosis, & degenerated nerve fibers.

/OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION/ The responses of chicks of 14 days of age to increasing levels of dietary anions and cations were investigated in two experiments. Major reductions in weight gains per chick and in gain:feed ratios were observed in chicks as levels of dietary sulfate, with ammonium or potassium cations, were increased from 0 through 5 g per 100 g diet. Sodium sulfate had a similar but smaller effect. Calcium and magnesium sulfates increased weight gains and gain:feed ratios at low levels of dietary inclusion. The relative effect of anion and cation were studied in the second experiment. Potassium carbonate reduced weight gains and gain:feed ratio to a greater degree than potassium sulfate; however the higher dietary levels of ammonium carbonate had little effect on chick growth responses in contrast to the major reductions obtained in response to ammonium sulfate. There were no differences between responses of strains of chicks within experiments. None of the salts was lethal at the levels fed.

/OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION/ Ammonium nitrate, carbonate, phosphate, and other salts or combinations thereof may be applied to soils in liquid solutions. ... Ammonium compounds used as fertilizers are a toxicologic hazard when livestock have access to residues or pools of solution on a pasture. ... Toxic concentrations of ammonia can be liberated from decomposing manure that is confined to a slurry pit or chicken house. Animals or birds confined to the same area may then inhale the gas.
