Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

Appearance: white solid. Flash Point: 62 deg C.
Danger! Highly flammable. Harmful to aquatic organisms; may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Eye contact may result in permanent eye damage. Harmful if swallowed. Causes eye and skin irritation. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Target Organs: Kidneys, central nervous system, eyes, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation. Risk of serious damage to eyes. A single exposure to TEDA vapor can cause slight swelling of the front part of the eye (cornea). This may result in a "halo" vision effect beginning up to several hours after exposure. Symptoms include hazy, foggy and sometimes blurry vision, and seeing blue halos around lights. Recovery usually occurs within a day. It is not certain what levels of TEDA vapor cause this effect. Minor corneal injury occurred when 0.5 ml of a solution of 5% TEDA in water was applied to rabbit eyes. A 15% solution caused moderate injury, and a 25% solution burned the eyes.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Definite skin reddening and some death of skin tissue were seen 24 hours after a solution of 25% TEDA in water was applied to rabbit skin. When a solution of 10% TEDA in water was applied to the skin of 5 mice for 2 weeks, 2 of the mice died from bleeding in the prostate gland. Two other mice also had bleeding of the prostate gland but did not die. There was no sign of skin damage .
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled. Acute inhalation toxicity was evaluated in guinea pigs exposed to triethylenediamine at a measured concentration of 8.9 ppm for a period of 1 hour. Clinical observations included slight dyspnea and somewhat elevated airway resistance. (Olin Corp.)
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause conjunctivitis. May cause kidney damage.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures


Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme diately.
Skin: Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures


General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Will burn if involved in a fire. Flammable solid.
