Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Excerpt from ERG Guide 153 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]: TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Nitrates, nitrites, and related compounds

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

Excerpt from ERG Guide 153 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]: SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2 or water spray. LARGE FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol-resistant foam or water spray. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Do not get water inside containers. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2016)

Specific hazards arising from the chemical

  • Toxicity to microorganisms: EC50 - activated sludge - > 100 mg/L - 3 h.

Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: 4,4'-Diaminodiphenylmethane, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). Aerobic biodegradation of 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane in a silt loam soil (measured as the fraction of CO2 recovered) was 2, 10, 11.2, and 11.6% after 3, 14, 28, and 56 days, respectively(2). Apparent biodegradation after 365 days in the silt loam soil was reported as 40.1%(2).

Bioaccumulative potential

BCF values ranging from 3.0 to 14 were measured for 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane (200 ug/L) in carp (4.5% lipid content) after a 6 week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest the bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

Mobility in soil

After an 8 hour sorption period, Koc values of 5681 and 3825 were measured for 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane in sandy loam under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively(1). Koc values of 4015 and 3831 were measured in silt loam under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these measured Koc values suggest that 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane is expected to have slight to no mobility in soil. The reaction of 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane with soil humics was studied by allowing the substance to remain in contact with soil for 7 days and then measuring desorption in 1 day. The results suggested that 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane sorbed onto soil may be in a relatively facile equilibrium with the surrounding solution as shown by the similarity of distribution ratios (sorbed compound (in ug/g of soil)/concentrated in solution (in ug/mL)) for both sorption and desorption with Rdesorb/Rsorb ranging from 1.1 to 1.4(1). In this study the average ratio of aerobic/anaerobic soil sorption coefficients for 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane was 1.27, suggesting little difference between the behavior of 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane with soil under oxidizing and reducing conditions(1). Aromatic amines have been observed to undergo rapid and reversible covalent bonding with humic materials in aqueous solution; the initial bonding reaction is followed by a slower and much less reversible reaction believed to represent the addition of the amine to quinoidal structures followed by oxidation of the product to give an amino-substituted quinone; these processes represent pathways by which aromatic amines may be converted to latent forms in the biosphere(3).

Other adverse effects

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

Disposal methods

Product

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.

Contaminated packaging
