BASIS say the explosion in Beirut has focussed attention on ammonium nitrate and the need to store it properly.
In a statement BASIS said the need for safe storage is well recognised in the UK and all FACTS advisers should be aware of storage requirements for ammonium nitrate (and all oxidising agents – any fertiliser with a yellow diamond marked ‘oxidising agent’ and ‘5.1’ on the bag).
