Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
PRECAUTIONS FOR "CARCINOGENS": A high-efficiency particulate arrestor (HEPA) or charcoal filters can be used to minimize amt of carcinogen in exhausted air ventilated safety cabinets, lab hoods, glove boxes or animal rooms ... Filter housing that is designed so that used filters can be transferred into plastic bag without contaminating maintenance staff is avail commercially. Filters should be placed in plastic bags immediately after removal ... The plastic bag should be sealed immediately ... The sealed bag should be labelled properly ... Waste liquids ... should be placed or collected in proper containers for disposal. The lid should be secured & the bottles properly labelled. Once filled, bottles should be placed in plastic bag, so that outer surface ... is not contaminated ... The plastic bag should also be sealed & labelled. ... Broken glassware ... should be decontaminated by solvent extraction, by chemical destruction, or in specially designed incinerators. Chemical Carcinogens
Precautions for safe handling
NO open flames. 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.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Ventilation along the floor.PRECAUTIONS FOR "CARCINOGENS": Storage site should be as close as practical to lab in which carcinogens are to be used, so that only small quantities required for ... expt need to be carried. Carcinogens should be kept in only one section of cupboard, an explosion-proof refrigerator or freezer (depending on chemicophysical properties ...) that bears appropriate label. An inventory ... should be kept, showing quantity of carcinogen & date it was acquired ... Facilities for dispensing ... should be contiguous to storage area. Chemical Carcinogens

Reactivity
NIOSH considers hexamethyl phosphoramide to be a potential occupational carcinogen.
Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic fumes including phosphorus oxides and nitrogen oxides.
Chemical stability
Reacts upon heating with org acids to form the dimethylamide of the org acid
Possibility of hazardous reactions
HEXAMETHYLPHOSPHORAMIDE may react with strong oxidizing agents and strong acids (NTP, 1992). Susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Oxidizers, strong acids, chemically active metals (e.g., potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc).
Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fume of /phosphine, phosphorus oxides and nitrogen oxides/.

Carcinogenicity
Evaluation: No epidemiological data relevant to the carcinogeniciy of hexamethylphosphoramide were available. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of hexamethylphosphoramide. Overall evaluation: Hexamethylphosphoramide is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).
Reproductive toxicity
No information is available on the reproductive or developmental effects of hexamethylphosphoramide in humans. Animal studies have reported reproductive effects, including reduced fertility, a reduction in sperm count, and significantly reduced testicular weights from oral exposure to hexamethylphosphoramide.
STOT-single exposure
Exposure to high concentrations could cause effects on the nervous system, kidneys and respiratory tract.
STOT-repeated exposure
The substance may have effects on the respiratory tract, kidneys and testes. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. May cause genetic damage in humans.
Aspiration hazard
No indication can be given about the rate at which a harmful concentration of this substance in the air is reached on evaporation at 20°C.
Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: no data available
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
Persistence and degradability
no data available
Bioaccumulative potential
Based on a measured log Kow of 0.28(2) and a regression derived equation(1), the bioconcentration factor (BCF) can be estimated to be about 0.96(SRC). This BCF value suggests that hexamethylphosphoramide may not bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Based on a measured log Kow of 0.28(2), the Koc for hexamethylphosphoramide can be estimated to be 34 using a recommended regression derived equation(1,SRC). This Koc value suggests that hexamethylphosphoramide has very high mobility in soil and may leach(3).
Other adverse effects
no data available
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.
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.
