This book was released on 2014-09-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 2013, about 30 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer detonated during a fire at a facility in West, Texas, killing at least 14 people and damaging nearby schools, homes, and a nursing home. This incident raised concerns about the risks posed by similar facilities across the country. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) play a central role in protecting workers and communities from chemical accidents, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) administers a chemical facility security program. This book addresses how many facilities have ammonium nitrate in the United States; how OSHA and EPA regulate and oversee facilities that have ammonium nitrate; and what approaches selected other countries have adopted for regulating and overseeing facilities with ammonium nitrate. It also focuses on some of the federal regulatory programs overseeing storage of ammonium nitrate and anhydrous ammonia by retailers.

Book excerpt: Solid ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is widely used in explosives and fertilizers. Since one of these products should explode and the other should not decompose in an uncontrolled way, research done in other industries has been interested in how this compound can best be produced, handled, stored, and finally used. The topics discussed in this book include the crystal structure, polymorphism and thermal behavior of ammonium nitrate; the phase transition of NH4NO3; the uptake, metabolism, toxicity, and effect of different nitrogen forms on growth in horticultural plants; and finally, the synthesis, chemical properties, health hazards and applications of NH4NO3.
