 **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
 
 EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
 Harmful if swallowed.The toxicological properties of this material
 have not been fully investigated.
 
 Potential Health Effects
 Eye:
 May cause eye irritation.
 Skin:
 May cause skin irritation.
 Ingestion:
 May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May cause
 methemoglobinemia, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to
 deficient oxygenation of the blood), convulsions, and death. The
 toxicological properties of this substance have not been fully
 investigated. 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.
 Inhalation:
 May cause respiratory tract irritation. The toxicological properties
 of this substance have not been fully investigated. 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 methemoglobinemia, which is characterized by
 chocolate-brown colored blood, headache, weakness, dizziness, breath
 shortness, cyanosis (bluish skin due to deficient oxygenation of
 blood), rapid heart rate, unconsciousness and possible death.
 
 **** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
 
 Eyes:
 Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
 occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
 Skin:
 Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
 before reuse.
 Ingestion:
 Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
 aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
 drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
 Inhalation:
 Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
 breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
 give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
 resuscitation.
 Notes to Physician:
 
 **** 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.
 Extinguishing Media:
 Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Use water spray, dry
 chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
 
 **** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
 
 General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
 in Section 8.
 Spills/Leaks:
 Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
 Equipment section. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for
 disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.
 
 **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
 
 Handling:
 Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
 wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
 generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
 clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and
 inhalation.
 Storage:
 Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
 well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
 
 **** 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
 ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
 Exposure Limits
 CAS# 13680-35-8:
 
 
 Personal Protective Equipment
 
 Eyes:

 safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
 protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
 Standard EN166.
 Skin:
 Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin
 exposure.
 Clothing:
 Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
 exposure.
 Respirators:
 A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
 Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
 conditions warrant respirator use.
