Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses by industrial workers is inconsistent. The benefits 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.SRP: Local exhaust ventilation should be applied wherever there is an incidence of point source emissions or dispersion of regulated contaminants in the work area. Ventilation control of the contaminant as close to its point of generation is both the most economical and safest method to minimize personnel exposure to airborne contaminants. Ensure that the local ventilation moves the contaminant away from the worker. |

| 相互作用 | Several inhaled atmospheres were tested for effects on the rat respiratory defense system. Materials studied included ozone and aerosols of ammonium sulfate, ferric sulfate, and sulfuric acidrelative humidity was also a controlled experimental variable. Each sulfate was studied alone as a submicrometer aerosol at a concentration of 3.5 mg/cu m in air and combined with ozone at 0.8 ppm. Results were compared with those for sham-exposed animals and for rats exposed to ozone alone. Air pollutant exposures, inside stainless steel chambers, were one time only for 4 hr. The end points for evaluation of effects were measurements of early and late rates of clearance of radiolabeled insoluble tracer particles. Tracer particles were inhaled before air pollutant exposures and particle clearance was followed for about 2 wk. Ozone alone slowed the early (0-50 hr after exposure) particle clearance and stimulated clearance during the later phase (2-17 d). High humidity usually amplified these effects of ozone as well as many of the other atmospheres studied. Sulfate aerosols alone tended to produce relatively small effects on early or late clearance. Combinations of ozone and aerosols resulted in effects that were similar to those of ozone alone. The data do not support the hypotheses that sulfate aerosols synergize with ozone in altering respiratory tract clearance, sulfuric acid being a probable exception. These data alone cannot be used to predict the overall health effects of the materials studied.The effect of inhaled ammonium sulfate on benzo[a]pyrene carcinogenesis in the lungs of Syrian golden hamsters was studied. Exposure to ammonium sulfate at an airborne concentration 20 times average United States ambient levels resulted in a significant depression (p less than 0.05) of benzo[a]pyrene carcinogenesis in the first 6 mo of the study. However, at 2 yr, the termination of the study, there were no differences in cancer incidence between groups receiving benzo[a]pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene plus ammonium sulfate. In addition, at the concentration studied, inhaled ammonium sulfate did not significantly increase the incidence or severity of pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis in the hamster. However, this inhalation did increase the incidence of emphysema but not the severity. The decreased incidence of cancer during the first 6 mo of this study in animals receiving both benzo[a]pyrene and ammonium sulfate suggests that interaction between sulfate and benzo[a]pyrene does occur, but is insufficient to afford long-term protection against the development of cancer. No enhancement of carcinogenesis by benzo[a]pyrene occurs in the presence of inhaled sulfate.A hitherto unexpected synergism between the oxidant air pollutants ozone or nitrogen dioxide and a respirable-sized aerosol of ammonium sulfate was observed during controlled exposures of rats to these substances. Response of rat lungs to these pollutants was quantitated by measurement of apparent collagen synthesis rates in vitro by lung minces from exposed animals. Dose-response curves to either O3 or NO2 were altered in the presence of 5 mg/cu m of (NH4)2SO4 aerosol. Morphometric and histologic observations of lungs from rats exposed to high levels of ozone, with and without concurrent exposure to the (NH4)2SO4 particles, confirmed such synergistic effects. In a separate set of experiments, rats were exposed at near ambient levels to mixtures of ozone and sulfuric acid aerosol (submicron-sized aerosol). Potentiation of ozone effects on lung collagen synthesis rates was also observed in these experiments. These observations may have broad implications for the appropriate evaluation of laboratory data in the setting of ambient air quality standards and/or threshold limit values for occupational safety.A synergistic effect of ammonium sulfate (5 mg/cu m) and ozone (0.2 ppm) has been reported for rat lung when the animals were exposed continuously for 7 days.For more Interactions (Complete) data for Ammonium sulfate (7 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |

| 毒性概述 | IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Ammonium sulfate is a white solid. Ammonium sulfate is used primarily as a nitrogen source in commercial fertilizer mixtures or as a direct application fertilizer, which accounts for > 90 % of the total amount. It is further used in a variety of industrial applications and is also approved as a direct food additive in the EU. It is registered for use in the USA but approved pesticide uses may change periodically and so federal, state and local authorities must be consulted for currently approved uses. Non-agricultural products containing ammonium sulfate which are intended for use by the general public (e.g. cleaning products, paints)contain ammonium sulfate levels up to 50%. Ammonium sulfate has been identified as being used in hydraulic fracturing as a breaker. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: In humans, inhalation exposure to 0.1 to 0.5 mg ammonium sulfate/cu m aerosol for two to four hours produced no pulmonary effects. At 1 mg ammonium sulfate/cu m very slight pulmonary effects in the form of a decrease in expiratory flow, in pulmonary flow resistance and dynamic lung compliance were found in healthy volunteers after acute exposure. 18 people who drank water polluted with ammonium sulfate fertilizer (1500 - 2000 mg/L) suffered gastrointestinal pain similar to acute enteritis. All symptoms passed after 24 hr. It did not induce chromosomal aberrations in mammalian or human cell cultures. Ammonium is also an endogenous substance that serves a major role in the maintenance of the acid-base balance. Minor amounts of ammonium nitrogen are incorporated in the physiological N-pool. Sulfate is a normal intermediate in the metabolism of endogenous sulfur compounds, and is excreted unchanged or in conjugated form in urine. ANIMAL STUDIES: Ammonium sulfate is of relatively low acute toxicity (LD50, oral, rat: 2000 - 4250 mg/kg bwLD50 dermal, rat/mouse > 2000 mg/kg bw8-hr LC50, inhalation, rat > 1000 mg/cu m).

| 生态毒性摘录 | /AQUATIC SPECIES/ Subchronic toxicity of composite inorganic fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate [fertilizer A(NH(4))(2)SO(4)21% NH(4)-N)], composite fertilizer 15-15-15 (fertilizer Bcommercial formulation: 15% NH(4)-N, 15% phosphorus, and 15% potassium oxide), and composite fertilizer 25-5-10 (fertilizer Ccommercial formulation: 25% NH(4)-N, 5% phosphorus, and 10% potassium oxide) on the skin, liver, kidney, pancreas, and gills of the juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was studied in two-week toxicity tests under static-renewal test conditions. Fish exposed to sublethal concentrations of fertilizers did not show any behavioral abnormality compared to control groups. Histological lesions were observed in skin, gills, liver, pancreas, and trunk kidney of the fish. In the epidermis, degenerated/vacuolated epithelial cells, microcystic dilatations, and intracellular edema of mucus cell were observed. Liver had swollen and degenerated hepatocytes without losing adenoid structure. Hematopoietic tissues had necrosis and vacuolar degeneration on proximal tubules of the kidney. In order, the most affected organs were skin, liver, and kidney./AQUATIC SPECIES/ The acute toxic effects of ammonium sulphate to fresh-water catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis (H. fossilis) have been studied by determining LC50 values with 95% confidence limits, by the graphic method, the logistic method, the Spearman and Karber method and the trimmed Spearman-Karber method. The trimmed Spearman-Karber method was found the most ideal for ammonium salt toxicity test. The flaws in the trimmed Spearman-Karber method are also discussed./AQUATIC SPECIES/ Ionized ammonia was not lethal at concentrations up to 1.787 mg /with Ictalurus punctatus (Channel catfish)./. Hematocrit increased with decreased pH indicating an effect of osmoregulation (isotonic dehydration). Common physiological salts elicited similar blood and lethality responses from this species at pH 6 when compared on an equimolar basis to ammonium salt solution./AQUATIC SPECIES/ Chronic toxicity to fish: effects on hematological parameters were reported when adult fish (Labeo umbratus) were treated with sublethal concentrations (no value reported) of ammonium sulfate for 72 hr. The lethal dose was quoted to be 420 mg/L, a concentration at which mortality occurred within 4 hr. Sublethal doses caused statistically significant changes such as an increase in the number of white blood cells, dimension, decrease in MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) and ACH (Acetylcholine) when compared to control. Other parameters, such as hematocrit, number of red blood cells, hemoglobin, and total plasma proteins were decreased and MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration) increased, but without statistical significance.For more Ecotoxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for Ammonium sulfate (12 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |

| Human Toxicity Excerpts | /HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ ... A panel of 16 laboratory workers (mean age 27 years) inhaled a control NaCl aerosol and the following sulfates: ammonium sulfate, sodium bisulfate, ammonium bisulfate and sulfuric acid. All subjects were non-smokers. A Lovelace generator produced particles with an average MMAD of approximately 0.5-1.0 um (GSD 1.5-2.2) and concentrations of 0.1 and 1 mg/cu m (as sulfate). At 1 mg/cu m, none of the inhaled sulfates produced significant decreases in specific airway conductance (SGaw) in normal subjects but did produce small changes in flow on the maximum expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) and partial expiratory flow-volume (PEFV) curves. Carbachol bronchoconstriction (decreases in specific airway conductance) was enhanced in relation to the acidity of the sulfates./HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ ... Both healthy and asthmatic adult men were exposed for 2-hour periods (with intermittent exercise) to ammonium sulfate /(0.1 - 0.3 mg/cu mMMAD 0.3 - 0.6 um)/, ammonium bisulfate, and sulfuric acid of particle size distributions and concentrations intended to simulate "worst case" exposures during Los Angeles smog episodes. Lung function tests were performed by the subjects on entering and before exiting from a carefully controlled environmental chamber. Subject symptoms were evaluated in a standardized manner. Aerosol concentrations and size distributions were determined by an on-line computer/aerometric monitoring systemgravimetric and chemical analyses were performed on impactor and total filter samples after test exposures. We found little or no evidence of adverse health effects from 2-hour multiple-day exposures to any of the compounds at "worst case" ambient concentrations./HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ The effects of sulfate aerosols upon pulmonary function was studied. Normal and asthmatic adult males were exposed for 2 hr on 2 or 3 successive days to diammonium sulfate of size distribution and concentration intended to simulate the worst cases likely to occur in ambient pollution episodes. Little or no evidence of adverse health effects were observed./HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ In a survey of effects of gaseous and aerosol pollutants in male volunteers, no effect of ammonium sulfate (0.116 mg/cu m) on pulmonary function (19 parameters were measured) was noted. Men were exposed for 4 hr, including 15 min treadmill exercise, at 30 °C and 60% relative humidity.For more Human Toxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for Ammonium sulfate (23 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |

| Non-Human Toxicity Excerpts | /LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ The effects of one-hour inhalation exposures to 0.3-0.6 micrometer H2SO4 and (NH4)2SO4 aerosols in the donkey were studied in terms of alterations in pulmonary flow resistance and dynamic compliance, and changes in the regional deposition and tracheobronchial mucocilliary clearance of an inert test aerosol. Short-term slowing of clearance followed certain single exposures to H2SO4 at 194-1364 microgram/cu m in three of four animals, while two of the four demonstrated a more persistent slowing of their clearance. These exposure levels produced no measurable change in resistance, compliance or regional deposition. Exposures to (NH4)SO4 up to approximately 2000 microgram/cu m had no measurable effect upon resistance, compliance, regional deposition or mucociliary clearance./LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ In conscious sheep, tracheal mucous velocity was not altered by exposure to the submicron aerosols of the sulfate compounds /including ammonium sulfate/. None of these compounds, injected iv in a dose of 1 mg, had adverse effects on mechanics of breathing, pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics, or arterial blood gases. ... It is concluded that submicron aerosols of sulfate salts do not have adverse cardiopulmonary effects when administered in high concentrations for up to 4 hr .../LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ Pulmonary mechanics of anesthetized dogs were not changed or were minimally altered by breathing the following compounds as submicron aerosols in concentrations up to 17.3 mg/cu m for 7.5 min: (1) sodium chloride (as a control), (2) sodium sulfate, (3) ammonium sulfate, (4) zinc sulfate, (5) zinc ammonium sulfate, (6) ammonium bisulfate, (7) aluminum sulfate, (8) manganese sulfate, (9) nickel sulfate, (10) copper sulfate, (11) ferrous sulfate, and (12) ferric sulfate. Submicron aerosols of these compounds in concentrations of 4.1-8.8 mg/cu m, administered for 4 hr to anesthetized dogs, did not affect mechanics of breathing, hemodynamics, and arterial blood gases./LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ The acute inhalation toxicity of ammonium sulfate aerosols (average diameter 1 - 3 um) is very low with 8 hr LC50 values of greater than 900 mg/cu m for guinea pigs. Rats were exposed repeatedly for 8 hr/day to 1000 - 1200 mg/cu m (average diameter 2 - 3 um) without mortality. No specific signs of toxicity were reported from these studies.For more Non-Human Toxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for Ammonium sulfate (47 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |
