TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames. NO contact with oxidants.	Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION	Risk of fire and explosion on contact with oxidants.

EXPOSURE		AVOID ALL CONTACT!	IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat. Blue lips or finger nails. Blue skin. Confusion. Convulsions. Dizziness. Headache. Nausea. Unconsciousness.	Local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. See Notes.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention.
Eyes	Redness.	Face shield, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
Ingestion	(See Inhalation).	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention. See Notes.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place. Personal protection: A/P2 filter respirator for organic vapour and harmful dust. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
HYGROSCOPIC WHITE CRYSTALS. TURNS DARK ON EXPOSURE TO AIR AND LIGHT.

Chemical dangers
The substance decomposes on heating or on contact with acids producing toxic and corrosive fumes including aniline, nitrogen oxides, and hydrogen chloride. Reacts violently with oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV: (as aniline and homologues) 2 ppm as TWA; (skin); A3; (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: 2 ppm, 7.7 mg/m³; H; Peak limitation category: II(2); Carcinogen category: 3B; Pregnancy risk group: D; (DFG 2004).

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion.

Inhalation risk
No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the blood, resulting in the formation of methaemoglobin. Exposure at high levels may result in death. Medical observation is indicated. The effects may be delayed. See Notes.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the blood, resulting in formation of methaemoglobin.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Boiling point: 245°C Melting point: 196-202°C Density: 1.22 g/cm³ Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 107 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.46 Flash point: 193°C o.c.	The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms.

NOTES

Use of alcoholic beverages enhances the harmful effect.
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.
Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available.
Also consult ICSC 0011 Aniline.
Card has been partly updated in October 2004. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, EU classification, Emergency Response.
