Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes. Refer for medical attention .
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .
Inhalation causes irritation of respiratory tract and lungs; pulmonary edema may result. Liquid causes severe irritation and burns of eyes and skin, and can permanently injure eyes after 15 seconds' contact. Ingestion causes severe burns of mouth and stomach; can be fatal. (USCG, 1999)
Immediate first aid: Remove patient from contact with material. 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. /Inorganic Bases/Alkaline Corrosives and Related Compounds/
Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating and toxic oxides of nitrogen may be formed. Behavior in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Containers may explode when heated. (USCG, 1999)
Use water spray, dry powder, alcohol-resistant foam. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Ventilation. Remove all ignition sources. Cautiously neutralize spilled liquid. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Ventilation. Remove all ignition sources. NEVER direct water jet on liquid.
Accidental release measures: Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas.; Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.; Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Clean up promptly by sweeping or vacuum.
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. 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.
Fireproof. Cool.Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Storage class (TRGS 510): Gases

Ethylamine is a colorless liquid or a gas (boiling point 62°F) with an odor of ammonia. Flash point less than 0°F. Density of liquid 5.7 lb / gal. Corrosive to the skin and eyes. Vapors are heavier than air. Produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion. Exposure of the closed container to intense heat may cause it to rupture violently and rocket.

A harmful contamination of the air will be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
AEROBIC: Ethylamine is expected to be degraded by biological sewage treatment with suitable acclimation(1). Activated sludge acclimated to aniline removed 34% of theoretical BOD in 130 hours; the initial ethylamine concentration was 500 mg/L(2). Activated and non-activated sludge cultures were observed to rapidly degrade ethylamine(3,4).
An estimated BCF of 3.2 was calculated in fish for ethylamine(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.13(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 ethylamine is estimated as 7(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.13(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that ethylamine is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Adsorption can be affected by the acidity of the soil; at a higher pH, cations have higher adsorption(SRC). The pKa of ethylamine is 10.87(4), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).

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.
