Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. 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. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention .

Vapor irritates eyes and nose. Liquid causes local injury to mouth, throat, digestive tract, skin, and eyes. (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 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. /Organic bases/Amines and related compounds/

Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors generated when heated. (USCG, 1999)

Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide.

Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Cautiously neutralize spilled liquid. Then wash away with plenty of water.

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. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.; Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and place in container for disposal according to local regulations ... Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

NO open flames. Above 85°C use a closed system and ventilation. 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.

Separated from strong oxidants, strong acids, aluminium and food and feedstuffs. Dry. Ventilation along the floor.Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Hygroscopic. Handle and store under inert gas.

Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic and corrosive gases including nitrogen oxides. The substance is a medium strong base. Reacts with cellulose nitrate. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Reacts violently with strong acids and strong oxidants. Attacks copper, aluminium, their alloys and rubber.

Chemical stability: Absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2) from air. Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Combustible liquid.ETHANOLAMINE is a base. Reacts with organic acids (acetic acid, acrylic acid), inorganic acids (hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, chlorosulfonic acid), acetic anhydride, acrolein, acrylonitrile, cellulose, epichlorohydrin, mesityl oxide, beta-propiolactone, vinyl acetate. Emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition [Sax, 9th ed., 1996, p. 1498].

The substance is corrosive to the respiratory tract, skin and eyes. Corrosive on ingestion. The vapour is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure could cause lowering of consciousness.

Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.

A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.

AEROBIC: 2-Aminoethanol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 49.2% (nitrogen dioxide end product)and 93.6% (ammonia end product) of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 ppm in the Japanese MITI test(1). 2-Aminoethanol achieved 91.8% biodegradation after 28 days in a OECD Guideline 301B Sturm Test and 93.4% after 22 days in a Sealed vessel test(2). 2-Aminoethanol, present at 10 ppm, reached 34% of its theoretical BOD in 5 days and 40% of its theoretical BOD in 20 days using a sewage inoculum(3). Other screening studies using a sewage inoculum gave similar results: 2.5 ppm test concentration, 5 day, 61-84% theoretical BOD(4); test concentration not specified, 10 day, 65% theoretical BOD(5); test concentration not specified, 5 day, 71% theoretical BOD, and 98% COD removal(6); 2.5 ppm test concentration, 5, 10, 20 and 50 days - 0, 58.4, 64, 75% theoretical BOD, respectively(7). In a Modified OECD Screening test, 2-aminoethanol, present at 20 mg/L, achieved 94% after 28 days using fresh inoculum and 99% after 28 days using preconditioned inoculum. In the Modified Sturm tests, 2-aminoethanol reached 97% DOC and 92% of its theoretical CO2 in 28 days using fresh inoculum; the compound also reached 96% DOC and 62% of its theoretical CO2 after 28 days using preconditioned inoculum(8). Using an activated sludge inoculum and the Closed Bottle, CO2 Evolution, and MITI tests, 2-aminoethanol starting concentrations of 7.64, 25.4, 76.4, and 100 mg/L exhibited 64.4, 91.4, and 71.2% O2 consumption, respectively, after 28 days; all tests had a lag time of approximately 5 days(9). Using an activated sludge inoculum and the Manometric Respirometry test, 2-aminoethanol starting concentration of 76.4 mg/L exhibited 83.0% O2 consumption, after 28 days with a lag time of approximately 5 days(9).

An estimated BCF of 3.2 was calculated in fish for 2-aminoethanol(SRC), using a log Kow of -1.31(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 2-aminoethanol is estimated as 0.59(SRC), using a log Kow of -1.31(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-aminoethanol is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Adsorption can be affected by the acidity of the soil(SRC). The pKa of 2-aminoethanol is 9.5(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.
