SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Move the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
SYMPTOMS: This material may cause allergic skin reactions. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This material can be absorbed by inhalation and through the skin. It may also cause allergic skin reactions. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes. (NTP, 1992)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
In 1954 /results from laboratory tests indicated/ that skin is principal portal of entry of benzidines. ... It was considered likely that the hydrochloride salt could be absorbed percutaneously. Benzidines
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Fires involving this compound should be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. (NTP, 1992)
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Flash point data for this compound are not available but it is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing mist, gas or vapours.Avoid contacting with skin and eye. Use personal protective equipment.Wear chemical impermeable gloves. Ensure adequate ventilation.Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
USE OF SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE BLEACH SOLUTION TO DECONTAMINATE 3,3'-DICHLOROBENZIDINE (DCB) WAS PARTIALLY EFFECTIVE. AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF 5% TETRAPOTASSIUM PYROPHOSPHATE AND 10% SODIUM ETHYL HEXYL SULFATE WHEN BLENDED IN A JET SPRAYER EFFECTIVELY REMOVED DCB FROM THE WORK AREA (90-99% REDUCTION). ONCE REMOVED FROM THE WORKSITE AND COLLECTED IN A CENTRAL LOCATION, IT WAS THEN DETERMINED THAT THE DIAZOTIZATION REACTION (THE ADDITION OF SO4, ICE AND NaNO3) OCCURRED TO ELIMINATE ANY DETECTABLE DCB FROM THE WASHINGS. 3,3'-DICHLOROBENZIDINE
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
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.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in cool, dry place. Protection from light and air is recommended for long term storage. Chemical Carcinogens

Appropriate engineering controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.
