SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Fresh air, rest.
Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Inhalation may cause respiratory irritation. Ingestion could be harmful. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Ammonia and related compounds
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
If material involved in fire: Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire (material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty).
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating and toxic ammonia gas may form in fires. Behavior in Fire: Decomposes, but reaction is not explosive. Ammonia gas is formed. (USCG, 1999)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal protection: filter respirator for ammonia and organic ammonia derivatives in conjunction with particulate filter adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Wash away remainder with plenty of water.
Environmental precautions
Personal protection: filter respirator for ammonia and organic ammonia derivatives in conjunction with particulate filter adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Wash away remainder with plenty of water.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Environmental considerations: Water spill: Neutralize with dilute acid.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Decomposes above 35°C . This produces ammonia fumes. Reacts violently with acids. Reacts with strong bases and strong oxidants.
Chemical stability
Comparatively stable at room temp; ... the white fumes given off consist of ammonium 21.5%, carbon dioxide 55.7%, water vapor 22.8%; rate of decomposition increases as temperature rises.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Ammonium bicarbonate may burn, but does not readily ignite.AMMONIUM BICARBONATE decomposes when heated above 36°C, releasing ammonia and carbon dioxide gases; it can also be decomposed into ammonia and carbon dioxide by strong acids and strong bases [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980 p. 141].
Conditions to avoid
