Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Wear protective gloves when administering first aid. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower for at least 15 minutes. Put clothes in sealable container. See Notes. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer immediately for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Inhalation may cause nausea and slight irritation; compound is a sensitizer, and prolonged contact may cause asthma. Ingestion can cause burns of mouth, esophagus, and possibly stomach. Contact with eyes or skin may cause burns. Repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. (USCG, 1999)
Early treatment for corrosive burns of esophagus consists of iv fluid therapy, broad spectrum antibiotics, sedation, parenteral hydrocortisone & more importantly maintaining patency of esophagus followed by dilatation. alkalies
Water or foam may cause frothing. "alcohol" foam.
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Ammonia and toxic oxides of nitrogen may form in fires. (USCG, 1999)
Use dry powder, carbon dioxide, water in large amounts, foam.
Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

The substance is corrosive to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. Inhalation of mist may cause severe swelling of the throat.
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.

Based on an estimated log Kow of -1.503(2), the BCF for tetraethylenepentamine can be estimated to be 4.2(SRC) using a recommended regression derived equation(1). This BCF value suggests that tetraethylenepentamine would not bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC).
Based on an estimated log Kow of -1.503(2) and a recommended regression derived equation(1), the Koc for tetraethylenepentamine can be estimated to be about 3.6(SRC). This Koc value suggests that tetraethylenepentamine will be highly mobile in soil and sediment(4). Based on pKa1, pKa2, pKa3, pKa4, and pKa5 values of 9.68, 9.10, 8.08, 4.72, and 2.98(3), respectively, tetraethylenepentamine will exist primarily as a cation under environmental conditions (pH 5-9); no experimental data are available which suggest whether the cation will adsorb more strongly than its estimated Koc value indicates(SRC).

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.
