4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedExcerpt from ERG Guide 153 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]: TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessaryImmediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Aniline and related compounds/

12.Ecological information 12.1 Toxicity- Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow); Conditions: flow-through bioassay with measured concentrations, 23.4°C, dissolved oxygen 7.0 mg/l, hardness 43.5 mg/l calcium carbonate, alkalinity 43.4 mg/l calcium carbonate, and pH 7.38; Concentration: 78.2 mg/L for 96 hr (confidence limit 74.2-82.4 mg/L)
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50; Species: Daphnia magna (Water flea) age 24 hr; Conditions: freshwater, static, 18-20°C, pH 8.0-8.3, dissolved oxygen 8.1-9.7 mg/L; Concentration: 29700 ug/L for 24 hr (95% confidence interval: 22000-48500 ug/L); Effect: intoxication, immobilization /99% purity
- Toxicity to algae: EC50; Species: Chlorella pyrenoidosa (Green Algae) 2x10+6 cells/mL; Conditions: freshwater, static, 22°C, pH 7.4; Concentration: 22000 ug/L for 72 hr (95% confidence interval: 19000-27000 ug/L); Effect: decreased population growth rate /99% purity
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
AEROBIC: Using a mixed municipal/industrial activated sludge, 0-3% of N,N-dimethylaniline was removed over a 6 hr period at a concentration of 20 mg/L. When an industrial activated sludge that was adapted to N,N-dimethylaniline was used, 100% of the total organic carbon was removed after 6 days at a concentration of 400 mg/L. However, this test indicates that stripping may be the most important elimination process since there was no indications that biodegradation had occurred. In another test, both a municipal non-acclimated and an acclimated activated sludge were used to study the biodegradation. The non-acclimated sludge reached less than 10% of its ThOD after 28 days at a concentration of 50-200 mg/L of N,N-dimethylaniline while at the same concentration, the acclimated sludge reached 22% of its ThOD in 5 days(1). N,N-Dimethylaniline, present at 100 mg/L, reached 1.9% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialA BCF of 5.4 was measured in fish for N,N-dimethylaniline, at a concentration of 0.5 ppm, using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over a 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe Koc of N,N-dimethylaniline was reported to be 182(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that N,N-dimethylaniline is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. The pKa of N,N-dimethylaniline is 5.15(3), indicating that this compound will exist partially in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). A Kd of 150 using montmotillonite has been reported(5).
12.5 Other adverse effectsno data available
13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
