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

Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides and aniline. Reacts violently with strong acids and oxidants.
Turns reddish brown on standing.
N-METHYLANILINE is an aryl an amine. Neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

The BOD of N-methylaniline in coarse-filtered Lake Superior harbor water over the course of 20 days was not sufficiently different from controls to calculate a degradation rate(1). Little BOD resulted when N-methylaniline was incubated at 21 deg C for 20 days in ground water, river water, or Lake Superior Harbor water(1). In a continuous biological treatment simulation test, complete DOC removal was achieved(3). N-Methylaniline (100 ppm) was moderately biodegradable in an activated sludge test with 42% total organic carbon removed(2). The test solution and acclimation procedure employed attempted to simulate industrial wastewater treated at the Fukashiba treatment plant in Japan. Aberrant behavior of N-methylaniline in a semi-continuous activated sludge (SCAS) biodegradation test was found to result from inadequate acclimation of the inoculum(4). It was degraded by Alcalignes sp. and Corynebacterium sp., both isolated from the activated sludge(4).
N-Methylaniline was found to have very low bioconcentration in fish using the procedures of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) in Japan(1,2). Using its log Kow of 1.66(3), one would estimate a BCF of 11 for N-methylaniline using a recommended regression equation(4). This would indicate that N-methylaniline would not bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC).
Since the pKa of N-methylaniline is 4.848(2), N-methylaniline will be partially ionized at acidic environmental pHs and its adsorption to soil would be expected to be pH-dependent(SRC). The Koc for N-methylaniline predicted from molecular structure is 65(3). According to a suggested classification scheme(5), this estimated Koc suggests that N- methylaniline will be highly mobile in soil(SRC). Batch equilibrium studies used to determine the adsorption isotherms for N-methylaniline to a Podzol (4.85% OC pH 2.8), an Alfisol (1.25% OC, pH 6.7) and a sediment (1.58% OC, pH 7.1) yielded the results (soil, Freundlich adsorption constants (Kf), Freundlich exponent (1/n), Koc): Podzol, 22.29, 0.89, 460; Alfisol, 0.59, 0.78, 47; Sediment, 1.12, 0.77, 71(1). N-Methylaniline will be almost completely ionized at the pH of the Podzol and therefore ionic interactions may be dominant(1,SRC). N-Methylaniline reacts slowly with humates possibly by adding to quinoidal structures in the humic substances(4). Covalent bond formation is inferred by the lack of extractability of the aniline from the humic material as well as reactions with model compounds(4).

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.
