Irritation of eyes and skin. Breathing vapors may cause coughing, a smothering sensation, nausea, headache. (USCG, 1999)
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 if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the 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. /Organic bases/Amines and related compounds/

Combustile, when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials.The vapour is heavier than air.DIETHANOLAMINE is an aminoalcohol. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides. This compound is hygroscopic. It may be sensitive to exposure to air and light. This compound can react with oxidizing materials, acids, CO2, copper alloys, aluminum, zinc, galvanized iron and copper. (NTP, 1992)

DEA (Diethanolamine) degrades in the presense of carbon dioxide to yield HEOD [3-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)oxazolidone], THEED [N,N,N,'-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethyleen-diamine] and BHEP [N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine.

Evaluation: Cancer in humans: There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of diethanolamine. Cancer in experimental animals: There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of diethanolamine. Overall evaluation: Diethanolamine is possibly carcinogen to humans (Group 2B).
No information is available on the reproductive or developmental effects of diethanolamine in humans. Animal studies have reported testicular degeneration and reduced sperm motility and count from oral exposure to diethanolamine. (10)
The substance is corrosive to the eyes.
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the liver and kidneys.
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
AEROBIC: Biodegradation of diethanolamine has been reported in many die-away tests(1-3). N-Nitrosodiethanolamine has been identified as a metabolite of diethanolamine in natural water samples and sewage(2).Media Initial Concn Incubation Time (days) % Biodegradation Reference River Water 21 mg/L 4 5 1 River Water 210 ug/L 4 55 1 River Water 21 ng/L 4 32 1 Lake Water 1.1 ppm 14 31 2 Acidic Lake Water 1.1 ppm 14 1.2 2 Sewage 1.1 ppm 14 53 2 River Water 50 ppm 10 90 3
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for diethanolamine(SRC), using a log Kow of -1.43(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
The Koc of diethanolamine has been reported as 3.97(1) and an experimental log Koc of 0.60(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these Koc values suggest that diethanolamine is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The pKa of diethanolamine is 8.96(4), indicating that this compound will exist partially in cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5). Diethanolamine has been shown to adsorb to humic acid which may be contained in soils and sediments(6). The adsorption of diethanolamine on humic acid changed very slightly from pH 4-8, (40-45% adsorption)(6).

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.
