If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention. 

Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if needed. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse. 

Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get immediate medical attention. 

Contact local poison control center or physician immediately. Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. When vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious, turn head to side. Get medical attention immediately. 

For ingestion, consider gastric lavage and activated charcoal slurry.

See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Slight fire hazard. 

regular dry chemical, regular foam, water Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray. 

Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Fight large fires from a protected location or safe distance. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Dike for later disposal. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Do not attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of material can be stopped first. Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Flood with fine water spray. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Consider downwind evacuation if material is leaking. 

Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Small spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Small dry spills: Move containers away from spill to a safe area. Large spills: Dike for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Ventilate closed spaces before entering. 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep separated from incompatible substances. 

Component Exposure Limits

Component Carcinogenicity

Alcohol may enhance the toxic effects. 

METHEMOGLOBIN FORMERS: At about 15% concentration of methemoglobin, observable cyanosis of the lips, nose, and earlobes may appear Symptoms may be absent although euphoria, flushed face and headache are common At 25-40%, cyanosis is marked, but little disability occurs except on exertion At 40-60%, symptoms may include weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness, increasingly severe headache, ataxia, rapid, shallow respiration, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, lethargy, and stupor Above 60%, dyspnea, respiratory depression, tachycardia or bradycardia, convulsions, and coma may occur Levels above 70% may be fatal.

METHEMOGLOBIN FORMERS Compounds with cumulative properties may produce a persistent, chronic type of methemoglobinemia which is the same as that produced by single large exposures.

3,5-DIMETHYLANILINE: See information on methemoglobin formers May cause irritation to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract, nausea, dizziness, and headache Chronic poisoning may affect the central nervous system, liver, kidneys, and bone marrow.

3,5-DIMETHYLANILINE: May cause irritation and redness Skin absorption may occur and result in formation of methemoglobin and other effects as detailed in inhalation.

3,5-DIMETHYLANILINE May cause effects as in inhalation.

3,5-DIMETHYLANILINE May cause irritation, redenss, pain, and possibly damage.

3,5-DIMETHYLANILINE No data available.

3,5-DIMETHYLANILINE: May cause abdominal pain Methemoglobin formation may occur and other effects as detailed in inhalation.

3,5-DIMETHYLANILINE: May cause effects as detailed in inhalation Other symptoms may include weight loss, anemia, weakness, irritability, jaundice and pain on urination.
