Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.

First rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again. Refer for medical attention .

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rest. Refer for medical attention .

Prolonged breathing of vapors may cause asthma. Liquid burns skin and eyes. A skin rash can form. (USCG, 1999)

Early treatment for corrosive burns of esophagus consists of iv fluid therapy, broad spectrum antibiotics, sedation, parenteral hydrocortisone & more importantly maintaining patency of esophagus followed by dilatation. alkalies

Use water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam or carbon dioxide. Discharge is effective for cooling of container, dilution, prevention of spread of the fire.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors are generated when heated. (USCG, 1999)

Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

Ventilation. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus.

Overspread sufficient sodium bisulfate and sprinkle water. Drain into the sewer with abundant water.

NO open flames. Above 97°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.

Separated from strong oxidants, acids, organic nitro compounds and food and feedstuffs. Keep in a well-ventilated room.Protect containers against physical damage. Store in cool, dark, well-ventilated place away from sources of ignition.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.

Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.

Protective gloves. Protective clothing.

Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.

Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic and corrosive gases including nitrogen oxides. The solution in water is a strong base. It reacts violently with acid and is corrosive. Reacts violently with oxidants, nitric acid and organic nitro compounds. Attacks many metals in the presence of water.

LOW, WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT OR FLAMEThe vapour is heavier than air.DIETHYLENETRIAMINE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Explosive solutions of nitromethane in dichloromethane, sensitized by addition of 10-12% of /bis(2-aminoethyl)amine/, retained their sensitivity at -50 deg C. Presence of 0-5% of the triamine considerable increases detonation sensitivity of nitromethane.

Toxic oxides of nitrogen are produced during combustion of this material.

The substance is corrosive to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. Inhalation of the vapour may cause lung oedema. See Notes. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.

Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Repeated or prolonged inhalation may cause asthma.

A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

Chemicals containing two terminal amino groups on a noncyclic compound are associated with persistance in 5-day BOD tests(4). Diamines, such as diethylenetriamine, in which the 2 nitrogen groups were not separated by at least 3 carbon atoms were recalcitrant and did not support bacterial growth as a sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy(6). No degradation of diethylenetriamine was observed in a 5-day BOD test using an acclimated sewage inoculum(4). Diethylenetriamine is listed as resistant to biodegradation according to the biodegradability test of the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry(1). This test utilizes a mixed inoculum containing sewage, soil and surface water. The BOD was 0% of theoretical in 20 days when incubated with sewage(2). However, the BOD increased to 70% theoretical when an inoculum composed of treated petrochemical effluent, sewage and soil was used that had previously been acclimated for 45-60 days(2). In other BOD tests, 55% of the diethylenetriamine in wastewater biodegraded in 6 weeks(3) and 0% degraded in 2 weeks(5).

Diethylenetriamine has a very low estimated log octanol/water partition coefficient, -2.13(1), and, therefore, would not be expected to bioconcentrate in fish(SRC).

The Koc for diethylenetriamine estimated from molecular structure is 88(1). Therefore, it would not be expected to adsorb significantly to soil or sediment. According to a suggested classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc suggests that diethylenetriamine would be highly mobile in soil(SRC).

The 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.

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.

The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient.
