Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
路 Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water.
路 Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and
moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
路 Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor,
or for at least 15 minutes.
路 Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
路 Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
SKIN
If skin or hair contact occurs:
路 Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if
available.
路 Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
路 Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to
stop by the Poisons Information Centre.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor.
In case of cold burns (frost-bite):
路 Bathe the affected area immediately in cold water for 10 to 15 minutes, immersing if
possible and without rubbing.
路 DO NOT apply hot water or radiant heat.
路 Apply a clean, dry dressing.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor.
INHALED
路 If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
路 Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
路 Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where
possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
路 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.
路 Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short-term repeated exposures to highly alkaline materials:
路 Respiratory stress is uncommon but present occasionally because of soft tissue edema.
路 Unless endotracheal intubation can be accomplished under direct vision,
cricothyroidotomy or tracheotomy may be necessary.
路 Oxygen is given as indicated.
路 The presence of shock suggests perforation and mandates an intravenous line and fluid
administration.
路 Damage due to alkaline corrosives occurs by liquefaction necrosis whereby the
saponification of fats and solubilisation of proteins allow deep penetration into the
tissue.
Alkalis continue to cause damage after exposure.
INGESTION:
路 Milk and water are the preferred diluents
No more than 2 glasses of water should be given to an adult.
路 Neutralising agents should never be given since exothermic heat reaction may compound
injury.
* Catharsis and emesis are absolutely contra-indicated.
* Activated charcoal does not absorb alkali.
* Gastric lavage should not be used.
Supportive care involves the following:
路 Withhold oral feedings initially.
路 If endoscopy confirms transmucosal injury start steroids only within the first 48
hours.
路 Carefully evaluate the amount of tissue necrosis before assessing the need for surgical
intervention.
路 Patients should be instructed to seek medical attention whenever they develop
difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia).
SKIN AND EYE:
路 Injury should be irrigated for 20-30 minutes.
Eye injuries require saline. [Ellenhorn & Barceloux: Medical Toxicology].

FOOTNOTES
1 PROTECTIVE ACTION ZONE is defined as the area in which people are at risk of harmful exposure. This zone
assumes that random changes in wind direction confines the vapour plume to an area within 30 degrees on
either side of the predominant wind direction, resulting in a crosswind protective action distance equal
to the downwind protective action distance.
2 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS should be initiated to the extent possible, beginning with those closest to the spill
and working away from the site in the downwind direction. Within the protective action zone a level of
vapour concentration may exist resulting in nearly all unprotected persons becoming incapacitated and
unable to take protective action and/or incurring serious or irreversible health effects.
3 INITIAL ISOLATION ZONE is determined as an area, including upwind of the incident, within which a high
probability of localised wind reversal may expose nearly all persons without appropriate protection to
life-threatening concentrations of the material.
4 SMALL SPILLS involve a leaking package of 200 litres (55 US gallons) or less, such as a drum (jerrican or
box with inner containers). Larger packages leaking less than 200 litres and compressed gas leaking from
a small cylinder are also considered "small spills".
LARGE SPILLS involve many small leaking packages or a leaking package of greater than 200 litres, such as
a cargo tank, portable tank or a "one-tonne" compressed gas cylinder.
5 Guide 118 is taken from the US DOT emergency response guide book.
6 IERG information is derived from CANUTEC - Transport Canada.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING GUIDELINES (ERPG)
The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all individuals could be exposed
for up to one hour WITHOUT experiencing or developing
life-threatening health effects is:
dimethylamine 350 ppm
irreversible or other serious effects or symptoms which could impair an individual's ability to take
protective action is:
dimethylamine 100 ppm
other than mild, transient adverse effects without perceiving a clearly defined odour is:

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin and eyes.
Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards to ensure
safe working conditions are maintained.
Avoid contact with incompatible materials.
Avoid smoking, naked lights or ignition sources.
Avoid sources of heat.
Avoid physical damage to containers.
When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.

Earth all lines and equipment.
Always wash hands with soap and water after handling. Work clothes should be laundered
separately.
Bulk storages should be blanketed with nitrogen and equipped with absorptive type
breather valve (to prevent vapour emissions).
SUITABLE CONTAINER
Check cylinders are clearly labelled.
Protect cylinders, particularly the valves, against physical damage whether full or
empty.
CAUTION: Do not reuse cylinders.

MATERIAL DATA
Odour Threshold Value: 0.046 ppm (recognition)
Pathologic examination of animals show irritation of the gastrointestinal
and respiratory tract following oral and inhalation exposure respectively.
The TLV-TWA is based on the results of continuous 90-day inhalation
exposure of several species of animals, the NOEL of 10 ppm in rats exposed
for 2-years and by analogy with methylamine and ethylamine.
MAK Category V Peak Limitation: Substances with intensive odour Allows excursions of
twice the MAK value for 10 minutes at a time, 4 times per shift.

These are substances which have been investigated but for which no information regarding
possible damage to the foetus/embryo was found. Mention calls attention to the absence of
adequate data.
