Ammonia fertilizer users warned: protect your eyes!

In soil, anhydrous ammonia can mean abundant crops, but — in an eye — this potent fertilizer can cause painful injury and even total blindness. To avoid vision-threatening injuries the Indiana Society to Prevent Blindness urges the use of protective eyewear when handling and applying anhydrous. “Appropriate chemical type safety goggles, with hooded vents and a rim fitting closely around the eye area, are a must for everyone at all times when working with or near anhydrous ammonia, advised Sue Hetherington, executive director of the Indiana Society to Prevent Blindness. The society cited accident data to emphasize that eye protection must be both available and used to effectively prevent injury. “Reports show that only 60 per cent of victims of anhydrous ammonia accidents had safety eyewear available to them,'' Mrs. Hetherington said. “And, even where such protection was available, it was largely unused, ” she added. Anhydrous ammonia is one of the damaging substances affecting the eye. Within seconds of contact, it begins destroying cells and tissues. “Should this damaging chemical get into the eyes, the emergency first aid treatment involves immediately flushing them with fresh water for at least 15 minutes,” Mrs Hetherington advised. Salves and ointments should never be put in the eyes, they tend to complicate first aid and later medical treatment. “As emergency first aid, if a body of water is nearby, the person affected should immerse himself completely in it — holding his eyelids open so that the ammonia can be diluted and washed away. After thoroughly flushing the eyes with water, medical attention from a physician is the next step to be taken. The longer the treatment is delayed, the greater the chances are for sight loss,” the ISPB spokesman cautioned No one, no matter how careful, is immune to injury when working with anhydrous ammonia. The following measures are necessary: Carry a plastic squeeze bottle of water in a shirt pocket to flush the eyes immediately, should contact with anhydrous occur. Have a five-gallon tank of fresh water attached to the applicator

and nurse tank. Each day, carefully check all hose fittings and connections on equipment. Thoroughly understand how to operate any equipment prior to use. Many eye injuries occur during the transfer of pressurized anhydrous ammonia from the bulk supply to smaller tanks, a process which may be repeated several times between production plant and farm users. All it takes is a minor equipment defect —a weak point in a hose, a faulty valve, a worn fitting — and eyesight may be threatened. Carelessness or human error multiply the dangers to vision. Anhydrous ammonia and its potentially blinding characteristics are graphically illustrated in a film called "For the Rest of Your Life,” available for loan from the Indiana Society to Prevent Blindness at 1425 East 86th Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240. Also available is ISPB’s Farm Eye Safety Committee pamphlet “Don't Gamble With Your Eyes" which outlines safety precautions and first aid for farm area residents. To safeguard sight against anhydrous ammonia, these four basic precautions are all essential: Buy and wear goggles. Have water — and plenty of it — available. Maintain equipment well. Apply the fertilizer carefully. The 29-year old Indiana Society is an affiliate of the National Society to Prevent Blindness, the oldest voluntary health agency nationally engaged in preventing blindness through community service programs, public and professional education and research.
