3. Hazards Identification
Page 1 of 7
Chronic Exposure : A study of 67 workers in an environment with high airborne
concentrations of urea found a high incidence of protein
metabolism disturbances, moderate emphysema, and chronic
weight loss.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Supersensitive individuals with skin or eye
problems, kidney impairment or asthmatic condition should have
physician's approval before exposure to urea dust.
Skin Contact : Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical
attention if symptoms occur.
Eye Contact : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical
attention immediately.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
Special Information : In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-
approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece
operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in
Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet
sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.

7. Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against
physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be
hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings
and precautions listed for the product.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering
controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate respirator
(NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times
the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by
the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever
is lowest.. A full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type
N100 filters) may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the
maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate
regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil
particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present,
use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances
where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-
purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres. If heat is involved, an ammonia/methylamine,
dust/mist cartridge may be necessary.
Eye Protection : Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting
or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain
and quick-drench facilities in work area.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Urea decomposes upon heating and can form products
including ammonia, oxides of nitrogen, cyanuric acid,
cyanic acid, biuret, carbon dioxide.

Urea (57-13-6) No No None
Environmental Fate : When released to soil, this material will hydrolyze into
ammonium in a matter of days to several weeks. When
released into the soil, this material may leach into
groundwater. When released into water, this material may
biodegrade to a moderate extent. When released into water,
this material is not expected to evaporate significantly. This
material has an experimentally-determined bioconcentration
factor (BCF) of less than 100. This material is not expected
to significantly bioaccumulate. When released into the air,
this material is expected to be readily degraded by reaction
with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. When
released into the air, this material is expected to have a half-
life of less than 1 day.
Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be managed in an appropriate and
approved waste disposal facility. Processing, use or contamination of this product may
change the waste management options. State and local disposal regulations may differ from
federal disposal regulations. Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with
federal, state and local requirements.
Not regulated.

Label Precautions : Avoid breathing dust. Keep container closed. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin and clothing. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
