First Aid Measures

Ingestion
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Skin
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Eyes
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Poison room locked. Keep containers tightly closed.
Handling
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well ventilated area. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.

Hazards Identification

Inhalation
Dust is irritating to the respiratory tract.
Skin
Causes skin irritation.
Eyes
Dust may cause mechanical irritation.
Ingestion
May be harmful if swallowed. Causes digestive tract irritation.
Hazards
When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors, and sewers explosion hazards.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary.
Exposure Effects
Acute poisoning may cause rapid heart rate and rapid breathing. Severe headache, CNS disturbances, and tremor may occur. A high incidence of gynecological disorders and excess frequency of spontaneous abortions have been noted. The fetal liver can n-oxygenate aniline to form phenylhydroxylamine. Fetal effects include higher levels of methemoglobin those found in than the mother. Fetal poisoning may occur. <br>No data were available to assess the potential effects of exposure to aniline during lactation. <br>No information about possible male reproductive effects was found in available references at the time of this review
Exposure limit(s)
NIOSH: Potential Occupational Carcinogen.

Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point
126
Autoignition
521
Fire Fighting
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. May polymerize explosively when involved in a fire. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Combustible material; may burn but does not ignite readily. Extinguishing media: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. In case of fire, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam.
Upper exp. limit
9.8
Lower exp. limit
1.5
Fire Potential
Slightly flammable. Flammable at elevated temperatures - moderate hazard.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical waste container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation.

Stability and Reactivity

Disposal Code
9
Incompatibilities
Acids - acid chlorides - acid anhydrides - chloroformates - strong oxidizing agents.
Stability
Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
Decomposition
Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen.
Combustion Products
Toxic oxides of nitrogen may form in fire.
