## Hazards Identification:
- Hazard Symbols: Keep out of reach of children, danger, may be harmful if swallowed/inhaled/absorbed through skin, eye irritation, GHS05.
- Risks: May cause eye and skin irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing, open cuts, or sores. Prolonged or repeated skin contact should be avoided by wearing protective gear.
- Ingredients: The product contains zinc sulfate, anhydrous ammonia, citric acid, EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetracetic Acid), and water.
- Health Effects: Nausea, chills, and diarrhea may occur upon large dose ingestion. Eye or skin contact can cause irritation. Respiratory irritation is possible from fertilizer mists.
- Physical/Chemical Properties: Clear pink to yellow liquid with an ammonia odor. Soluble in water.

## First Aid Measures:
- Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, give artificial respiration if not breathing, and call a poison control center or doctor.
- Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin for 15-20 minutes, and seek medical advice.
- Eye Contact: Hold eye open and rinse with water for 15-20 minutes, remove contact lenses (if present), and consult a doctor.
- Ingestion: Call poison control or a doctor immediately, have someone sip water if conscious, do not induce vomiting unless advised.

## Fire Fighting Measures:
- Flash Point: Does not flash.
- Extinguishing Media: Consider non-combustible, use appropriate media for surrounding fire (dry chemical, CO2, foam, water spray or fog).
- Hazardous Combustion Products: Oxides of zinc and nitrogen may be produced.
- Special Procedures: Use water spray to cool containers during fires. Remain upwind, avoid breathing smoke, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
- Unusual Hazards: Containers may burst due to ammonia pressure build-up.

## Accidental Release Measures:
- Steps for Spills/Leaks: Ventilate area, contain spill, absorb liquid with clay or absorbent material, sweep up and place in container for proper disposal (check local regulations). Keep spills away from water sources.

## Handling and Storage:
- Handling: Open containers carefully, use adequate ventilation, wear eye protection and gloves when handling undiluted product.
- Storage: Store in cool, dry areas with proper ventilation in tightly closed, corrosion-resistant containers. Do not contaminate water or food.

## Exposure Controls/Personal Protection:
- Engineering Controls: Work in well-ventilated spaces, use local exhaust if working in confined areas.
- Respiratory Protection: Wear a NIOSH approved respirator for pesticide handling if necessary.
- Eye and Skin Protection: Chemical goggles or shielded safety glasses, protective clothing (long sleeves, pants, shoes, socks), rubber gloves.
