Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: dark brown solid.
Danger! May be fatal if absorbed through the skin
or swallowed. Causes eye burns. Causes skin irritation and possible
burns. Harmful if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May
cause allergic skin reaction. May cause central nervous system
effects. Light sensitive.
Target Organs: Central nervous system,
respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May cause skin sensitization,
an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this
material. May cause blistering of the skin. Causes skin irritation
and possible burns. Substance is readily absorbed through the skin.
Life-threatening toxicity may result from adult skin exposure to
very minute quantities (1 teaspoon), based on animal studies.
Ingestion:
May be fatal if swallowed. Methemoglobinemia is characterized by
dizziness, drowsiness, headache, shortness of breath, cyanosis
(bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the
blood), rapid heart rate and chocolate-brown colored blood. May
cause tremors and convulsions. May form methemoglobin which in
sufficient concentration causes cyanosis (bluish discoloration of
skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).
Inhalation:
Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract. Harmful if inhaled.
Inhalation of high concentrations of vapors has produced toxicity and
death in experimental animals.
Chronic:
Absorption into the body leads to the formation of methemoglobin
which in sufficient concentrations causes cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).
Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Prolonged
skin exposure may cause allergic dermatitis and possible hemorrhage.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a
t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
POISON material. In case of contact, get medical aid immediately.
Immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash
clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
POISON material. If swallowed, get medical aid immediately. Only
induce vomiting if directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. This
material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable
of creating a dust explosion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use carbon dioxide, water spray, or dry chemical.
Flash Point: 130 deg C ( 266.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 539 deg C ( 1,002.20 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not
breathe dust, mist, or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Use
only with adequate ventilation.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Store
protected from light.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use only under a
chemical fume hood.

min; Microtox test at 15C
If released to water, covalent bonding with humic materials in the
water column and sediments may result in significant partitioning
from the water column. N-N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine in the water
column may be susceptible to significant photooxidation via hydroxyl
and peroxy radicals and singlet molecular oxygen. Direct photolysis
may also contribute to aquatic degradation. The lack of data makes
statements regarding the degradation of
N,N-dimethyl-p-benzenediamine impractical.
Environmental:
If released to the atmosphere, N-N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine will
degrade rapidly (estimated half-life of 1.368 hours) by reaction with
photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. If released to soil,
N-N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine may be susceptible to high amounts
of leaching in soil based on an estimated Koc range of 10.8 to 19.1.
However, N-N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine may undergo a covalent
chemical bonding with humic materials which can result in its
chemical alteration to a latent form and prevent leaching. Readily
biodegradable.

No information available.
Other:
No information available.
