Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper Eye Contact and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. If skin contact occurs: Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Skin Contact Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation. If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. Inhalation Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Transport to hospital, or doctor. If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. Ingestion Observe the patient carefully. Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink. Seek medical advice. Continued...

Initial attention should be directed at oxygen delivery and assisted ventilation if necessary. Hyperbaric oxygen has not demonstrated substantial benefits. Hypotension should respond to Trendelenburg's position and intravenous fluids; otherwise dopamine may be needed. Symptomatic patients with methaemoglobin levels over 30% should receive methylene blue. (Cyanosis, alone, is not an indication for treatment). The usual dose is 1-2 mg/kg of a 1% solution (10 mg/ml) IV over 50 minutes; repeat, using the same dose, if symptoms of hypoxia fail to subside within 1 hour. Thorough cleansing of the entire contaminated area of the body, including the scalp and nails, is of utmost importance. BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDEX - BEI These represent the determinants observed in specimens collected from a healthy worker exposed at the Exposure Standard (ES or TLV): Determinant Index Sampling Time Comment 1. Methaemoglobin in blood 1.5% of haemoglobin During or end of shift B, NS, SQ B: Background levels occur in specimens collected from subjects NOT exposed NS: Non-specific determinant; also observed after exposure to other materials SQ: Semi-quantitative determinant - Interpretation may be ambiguous; should be used as a screening test or confirmatory test. SECTION 5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing media Foam. Dry chemical powder. BCF (where regulations permit). Carbon dioxide. Special hazards arising from the substrate or mixture Fire Incompatibility Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result Advice for firefighters Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves. Fire Fighting Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course. Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area. Combustible. Slight fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Fire/Explosion Hazard Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers. On combustion, may emit toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO). SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Environmental hazard - contain spillage. Clean up all spills immediately. Minor Spills Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment. Environmental hazard - contain spillage. Moderate hazard. Major Spills Clear area of personnel and move upwind. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS. SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling DO NOT USE brass or copper containers / stirrers DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation. Safe handling Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. Use in a well-ventilated area. Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps. Store in original containers. Keep containers securely sealed. Other information Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities DO NOT use aluminium, galvanised or tin-plated containers Suitable container Metal can or drum Packaging as recommended by manufacturer.

Many arylamines (aromatic amines such as aniline, N-ethylaniline, o-toluidine, xylidine etc. and their mixtures) are hypergolic (ignite Storage incompatibility spontaneously) with red fuming nitric acid. When the amines are dissolved in triethylamine, ignition occurs at -60 deg. C. or less. Various metal oxides
