Anhydrous Ammonia safety

Anhydrous ammonia is an effective and economical source of nitrogen fertilizer, but with it comes some risk of accidental exposure which can cause chemical burns or frostbite to skin, eyes or the respiratory tract. As spring field work gets underway, it is important to take the time to follow the recommended safety precautions when applying anhydrous ammonia fertilizer. Protecting the face and particularly the eyes is critical. It has a strong affinity for water and evaporates rapidly creating a freeze-drying effect when it contacts your skin or eyes. Wear properly-fitted goggles or a face shield to avoid direct exposure from an accidental release of ammonia. Prescription glasses or sunglasses do not provide adequate protection and never wear contact lenses when dealing with anhydrous ammonia. A face shield is a good choice because it will not only protect the eyes, but also protect against inhalation of the ammonia.
