Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.

Following ingestion

Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.

Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is extremely unstable at high pH. It will decompose to extremely unstable decomposition products if acidic conditions are not maintained. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides. Decomposition products may be explosive. (NTP, 1992)

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

For immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If victim 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 left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Nitrates, nitrites, and related compounds

Persistence and degradability

no data available

Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 0.88 was calculated for N-nitroso-N-ethylurea(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 0.23(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Based upon the hydrolysis of N-nitroso-N-ethylurea in aqueous environments (half-life of 1.5 hours at pH 7.0 at 20 deg C)(4), bioconcentration is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC).

Mobility in soil

The Koc of N-nitroso-N-ethylurea is estimated as approximately 32(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 0.23(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that N-nitroso-N-ethylurea is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Based upon the hydrolysis of N-nitroso-N-ethylurea in aqueous environments(4), adsorption to soil and leaching are not expected to be important processes(SRC).

Other adverse effects

no data available

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.
