EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless to brown liquid. Flash Point: 70 deg C.
Warning! Causes severe eye irritation and possible
eye injury. Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the
skin. Causes skin and respiratory tract irritation. May cause
allergic skin reaction. Impairs the oxygen carrying capacity of the
blood. Combustible liquid and vapor.
May cause nervous system effects. May cause methemoglobinemia. May
cause liver and kidney damage. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from
the air).
Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, liver, spleen,
respiratory system, eyes, nervous system, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. May cause lacrimation (tearing),
blurred vision, and photophobia. May cause chemical conjunctivitis
and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. May
cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes
evident upon re-exposure to this material. Vapors are readily
absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Aniline acts through an intermediate to change
hemoglobin to methemoglobin. In one subject, 65 mg of aniline
increased the methemoglobin level by 16% within 2 hours. Intense
methemoglobinemia may lead to asphyxia severe enough to injure the
cells of the central nervous system. Pathologic findings in acute
fatalities from aniline include chocolate color of the blood; injury
to the kidney, liver and spleen; and hemolysis.
Alcohol can intensify the ability of aniline to induce
methemoglobinemia.
Inhalation:
Harmful if inhaled. Causes respiratory tract irritation.
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 blood. Inhalation of aniline causes anoxia due to the
formation of methemoglobin.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Repeated exposure may cause
sensitization dermatitis. Chronic exposure may cause hemolysis of the
red blood cells followed by stimulation of the bone marrow. May cause
cyanosis - a blue-gray coloring of the skin and lips caused by a lack
of oxygen. Animal studies have reported the development of tumors.
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.
Skin:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical aid immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Get medical aid.
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:
Absorption of this product into the body may cause cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).
Moderate degrees of cyanosis need to be treated only by supportive
measures: bed rest and oxygen inhalation. Cleansing of the entire
contaminated area of the body is of utmost importance. Do not
administer alcohol in any form. Individuals with liver or kidney
disorders, impaired cardiovascular status, or a history of
alcoholism may be more susceptible to the effects of this product.
Effects may be delayed. If cyanosis is severe, intravenous injection
of Methylene Blue, 1mg/kg of body weight may be of value.
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. Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike
and collect water used to fight fire. During a fire, irritating and
highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Combustible liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
Flash Point: 70 deg C ( 158.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 615 deg C ( 1,139.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1.3 vol %
Upper: 11 vol %
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 2; Instability: 0
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Remove all sources of ignition.
Provide ventilation. Approach spill from upwind. Control runoff and
isolate discharged material for proper disposal. Use water spray to
cool and disperse vapors and protect personnel.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid
and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed.
Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and flame. Avoid breathing
vapor or mist. Do not get in eyes. Avoid contact with skin and
clothing.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed
container. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a
cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Poison room locked. Keep away from acids. Material darkens in color
on storage. Store protected from moisture. 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 adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.

the order of days). It will not bioconcentrate in fish. If spilled
on land it will be lost by a combination of biodegradation, oxidation
and chemical binding to components of soil. If released into air,
aniline will photodegrade (estimated half-life 3.3 hr).
