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. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Causes severe irritation. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, and edema of laryns and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema. Symptoms of exposure may include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting. (USCG, 1999)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
3. 3= moderately toxic: probable oral lethal dose (human) 0.5-5 g/kg, between 1 oz & 1 pint (or 1 lb) for 70 kg person (150 lb).
Metabolism and distribution of (3)h-labeled 2-amino-2-methylpropanol was studied in rats receiving normal or choline-deficient diets. tritium appeared in the serum of both groups 30 min after the ip injection but the level was generally lower in the choline-deficient group. rats on the normal diet excreted more of the amino acid in the urine than did the choline-deficient rats in both groups only the unchanged amino acid was excreted. livers from the choline-deficient group had a greater uptake and retention of the label than those from normal rats. most of the label was found in the cytosol of both liver and kidney.
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Excerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]: CAUTION: All these products have a very low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. CAUTION: For mixtures containing alcohol or polar solvent, alcohol-resistant foam may be more effective. SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Do not use straight streams. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (ERG, 2016)
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Emits toxic fumes during fire conditions. (USCG, 1999)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. The solution in water is a medium strong base. Reacts with strong acids and strong oxidants.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
2-AMINO-2-METHYL-1-PROPANOL is an organic compound with both amine and alcohol substituents. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
