Chemical Name: Ammonium Nickel Nitrate
CAS Number: 13621-07-3
Concentration: ≥ 95% by weight
Impurities: Low levels of water and inorganic salts may be present
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air, seek medical advice if symptoms occur such as coughing or difficulty breathing, give oxygen if breathing is difficult
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes, wash thoroughly with large amounts of water and soap for at least 15 minutes, seek medical attention for persistent irritation or burns
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do so, seek immediate medical advice
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention and provide details of the substance to medical personnel
Most Important Symptoms and Effects: Skin redness, rash, burns, coughing, shortness of breath, irritation, allergic reactions, risk of long-term effects following repeated exposures
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, fog, or foam, do not use dry chemical or carbon dioxide as these may be ineffective against oxidizing agents
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide and dry powder may react with the chemical
Special Hazards: Decomposition may release toxic gases such as nitrogen oxides, ammonia, and nickel compounds
Advice for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), chemical protective clothing, evacuate area if fire involves large quantities, cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out
Personal Precautions: Evacuate non-essential personnel, ventilate area, avoid breathing dust, ensure proper PPE such as gloves, goggles, and protective clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering drains or watercourses, contain any spillage with inert materials such as sand or earth
Clean-up Procedures: Scoop up solid material into appropriate chemical waste container using non-sparking tools, wash spill area thoroughly after pick-up is complete, dispose in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations
Handling: Avoid skin and eye contact, avoid creating dust, use only with proper ventilation, never eat, drink, or smoke while handling, wear suitable PPE
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container, in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area away from combustible materials, reducing agents, acids, and organic matter, keep away from heat or sources of ignition, ensure proper labeling and secure storage location
Special Sensitivity: Store separately from food and drink, maintain inventory control to minimize accumulation
Occupational Exposure Limits: Nickel compounds, OSHA PEL: 1mg/m3 (as Ni); ACGIH TLV: 0.2mg/m3 (as Ni, inhalable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation at points of dust generation, use enclosed processes if possible
Personal Protective Equipment: NIOSH-approved respirator for dust and fumes, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), safety goggles or face shield, long-sleeved protective clothing
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling, before eating, drinking, or smoke breaks; launder clothing before reuse
Appearance: Green crystalline solid
Odor: Odorless or slight ammonia odor
pH: Not available (aqueous solutions may be slightly acidic)

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions, decomposes in presence of heat, moisture, acids, or reducing agents
Reactivity: Powerful oxidizer, reacts violently with organic materials, reducing agents, and combustibles
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Nickel oxides, nitrogen oxides, ammonia gas
Incompatible Materials: Reducing agents, strong acids, combustibles, organic materials, powdered metals
Polymerization: Will not occur
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, ingestion, eye contact
Acute Effects: Severe irritation or burns to skin and eyes, coughing, throat and lung irritation, systemic toxicity with nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness after high level exposure
Chronic Health Effects: Sensitization, dermatitis, allergic reactions, increased cancer risk due to nickel content, damage to respiratory system and kidneys from prolonged exposure
Lethal Dose (LD50): Data for nickel compounds: LD50 oral (rat) 100 mg/kg
Carcinogenicity: Nickel compounds classified as carcinogenic to humans by IARC and NTP
Aquatic Toxicity: Highly toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, and algae; nickel ions and nitrates can cause long-lasting impacts
Persistence and Degradability: Nickel does not degrade, persists in the environment, accumulates in sediments and aquatic organisms
Bioaccumulative Potential: Bioaccumulation reported in aquatic life and terrestrial plants
Mobility in Soil: Highly mobile in water, risk of contaminating groundwater
Other Adverse Effects: Eutrophication from nitrate content may cause oxygen depletion and fish kill
Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose of as hazardous waste in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations, do not pour down drains or release to environment
Disposal Containers: Use sealed, compatible chemical waste containers, clearly labeled for hazardous materials
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse container with water, treat rinse water as hazardous waste; dispose of container as hazardous waste
Special Precautions: Trained personnel using proper PPE should carry out waste disposal operations, coordinate with certified waste management contractors
