Vapor inhalations at a concentration of 200 ppm for 5 to 10 minutes will lead to nasal irritation and produce a tingling sensation. Inhalation at concentrations of 400 ppm or greater leads to severe nasal irritation. Respiratory irritation may result. Many individuals are hypersensitive to ethylenediamine exposure; therefore, safe threshold limits are difficult to set. (EPA, 1998)

Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal . Cover skin bumps with dry sterile dressings after decontamination . /Organic bases/amines and related compounds/

Use water spray, dry chem, "alcohol resistant" foam, or carbon dioxide. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Solid streams may be ineffective and spread material.

Containers may explode in heat of fire. Material emits nitrogen oxides when burned. Avoid carbon disulfide, silver perchlorate, imines, oxidizing materials. Stable. Hazardous polymerization may not occur. (EPA, 1998)

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

Collect leaking and spilled liquid in covered containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Collect the spilled substance into containers. The container should be made of the same material as the original container.

Remove all ignition sources. Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Ventilation. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in covered containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

1. Remove all ignition sources. 2. Ventilate area of spill or leak. 3. If in the liq form, absorb on paper towels. Evaporate in a safe place (such as a fume hood). Allow sufficient time for evaporating vapors to completely clear the hood ductwork. Burn the paper in a suitable location away from combustible materials. Large quantities can be collected and atomized in a suitable combustion chamber equipped with an appropriate effluent gas cleaning device. ... 4. If in the solid form, collect, allow to melt, and dispose of the liq as above.

NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Above 34°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.

Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants, acids, chlorinated organic compounds and food and feedstuffs. Dry.Outside or detached storage is preferred. Avoid oxidizing materials, acids, and sources of halogens. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location.

FLAMMABLE LIQUID WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT, FLAME OR OXIDIZERS.A base. Highly reactive with many compounds. Can react violently with acetic acid, acetic anhydride, acrolein, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, allyl chloride, carbon disulfide, chlorosulfonic acid, epichlorohydrin, ethylene chlorohydrin, hydrogen chloride, mesityl oxide, nitric acid, oleum, AgClO4, sulfuric acid, beta-propiolactone and vinyl acetate. Incompatible with strong acids, strong oxidizers (perchlorate salts), and chlorinated organic compounds. It is also incompatible with halogenated organic compounds and metal halides. May react with nitromethane and diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate. May ignite on contact with cellulose nitrate. Readily absorbs carbon dioxide from the air to give crusty solid deposits. (NTP, 1992). Ethylenediamine reacts violently with ethylene chlorohydrin. (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 1554.).

The substance is corrosive to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion.

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 can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

In one standard dilution test using non-acclimated sewage seed, 24 and 47% of the theoretical BOD was removed after 5 and 20 days, respectively, in fresh water, and 2 and 16%, respectively, in salt water(1). In a second standard dilution test using non-acclimated sewage seed, 0.6 and 17% BOD was removed in 5 days using fresh and salt water, respectively(2). The concentration of the ethylenediamine was 7 to 10 ppm in both studies(1,2). Using acclimated activated sludge, 97.5% COD was removed at a rate of 9.8 mg COD/g/hr (3), 67% of the theoretical BOD was removed in 5 days in a second study(4) and 36 and 70% of the theoretical BOD was removed in 5 and 20 days, respectively, in a third study(1). Ethylenediamine, at a concentration of 100 mg/l, showed a 93 to 95% theoretical BOD loss over a 28 day period in the Japanese MITI test using an activated sludge inoculum(5).

An estimated BCF of less than 1 was calculated for ethylenediamine(SRC), using a log Kow of -2.04(1)and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.

Ethylenediamine has two primary amine groups and at the pH range found in most soils it is expected to be partially protonated given a pKa1 of 10.7 and a pKa2 of 7.6(1). An average Koc of 4766 (range=2071 to 6160) was measured for ethylenediamine in six different soils; five were from the vadose zone and one from an aquifer (saturated zone)(2). pH values ranged from 6.0 to 9.6 and the fraction of organic carbon from 0.0024 to 0.0391 for this group of soils. Soils with increased cation exchange capacity and organic content had greater affinity for ethylenediamine(2).

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 asthma 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.Anyone who has shown symptoms of asthma due to this substance should never again come into contact with this substance.Do NOT take working clothes home.
