Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include eye and mucous membrane irritation. It can cause contact dermatitis, conjunctivitis, exacerbation of seborrhea and acne vulgaris. Eye contact may result in a smarting sensation. Ingestion of this material can cause central nervous system disturbances. Symptoms resulting from exposure to this compound include disorientation, staggering gait, slurred speech, crying out, episodes consisting of stiffening into a sitting position, extending of extremities, flexing of the fingers and dorsiflexing the toes. It may also cause jaundice, aplastic anemia, bleeding, convulsive seizure or death. It may irritate tender areas of the skin. It may also cause severe eye injury. Other symptoms are desquamation about the nose, dryness of face, a slight tingling sensation and a bullous eruption in the antecubital fossae. Irritation of the gastro-intestinal tract and coma are possible. It may cause purpuric or ecchymotic areas. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is irritating to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. It may be harmful by inhalation or ingestion. (NTP, 1992)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Decontaminate the skin with soap and water . Eye contamination should be removed by prolonged flushing of the eye with copious amounts of clean water or saline. If irritation persists, specialized medical treatment should be obtained. Topical steroids and oral antihistamines have been used for severe skin reactions that occasionally follow application of DEET.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
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.
Chemical stability
Stable under recommended storage conditions.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
The vapour is heavier than air.N,N-DIETHYL-M-TOLUAMIDE is incompatible with strong acids, strong bases and strong oxidizing agents. It hydrolyzes slowly in the presence of water. It has a solvent effect on most plastics, paints, and varnishes. It is also incompatible with rayon, acetate or dynel clothing. (NTP, 1992)

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: DEET, present at 100 mg/L, did not biodegrade in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI(1). However, in a OECD 301B test DEET was shown to biodegrade 83.8% in 4 weeks using activated sewage sludge and measuring carbon dioxide produced(2). DEET reached 30% and 37% of the theoretical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand after 7 days in another test, but biodegradation seemed to halt after reaching 40 and 48%, respectively(2). DEET was shown to biodegrade using Po River water, forming three transformation products(3). Pseudomonas putida DTB (isolated from activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Ithaca, NY) degraded DEET to 3-methylbenzoate and diethylamine under aerobic conditions(4).
Bioaccumulative potential
BCF values of <2.4 and 0.8-2.4 were measured using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed to 0.05 and 0.50 mg/L of DEET, respectively, over a 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of DEET can be estimated to be 115(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that DEET is expected to have moderate mobility in soil.
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
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.
