Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Give one or two glasses of water to drink.
Exposure Routes: inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact Symptoms: Enlarged liver; liver, kidney disturbance; contact dermatitis; cough, wheezing, dyspnea (breathing difficulty); bloody sputum; bronchial secretions; frequent urination, hematuria (blood in the urine), dysuria; [potential occupational carcinogen] Target Organs: Skin, respiratory system, liver, kidneys, bladder (NIOSH, 2016)
More than half of bound dye in all liver-cell fractions is assoc with sol proteins; of this, 80% is bound to fraction which accounts for only 15% of sol proteins.
Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. (NTP, 1992)
Flash point data for this chemical are not available. It is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting.

PRECAUTIONS FOR "CARCINOGENS": A high-efficiency particulate arrestor (HEPA) or charcoal filters can be used to minimize amt of carcinogen in exhausted air ventilated safety cabinets, lab hoods, glove boxes or animal rooms . Filter housing that is designed so that used filters can be transferred into plastic bags without contaminating maintenance staff is avail commercially. Filters should be placed in plastic bags immediately after removal . The plastic bag should be sealed immediately . The sealed bag should be labelled properly . Waste liquids ... should be placed or collected in proper containers for disposal. The lid should be secured & the bottles properly labelled. Once filled, bottles should be placed in plastic bags, so that outer surface ... is not contaminated . The plastic bag should also be sealed & labelled. ... Broken glassware ... should be decontaminated by solvent extraction, by chemical destruction, or in specially designed incinerators. Chemical Carcinogens
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.
PRECAUTIONS FOR "CARCINOGENS": Storage site should be as close as practical to lab in which carcinogens are to be used, so that only small quantities required for ... expt need to be carried. Carcinogens should be kept in only one section of cupboard, an explosion-proof refrigerator or freezer (depending on chemicophysical properties ...) that bears appropriate label. An inventory ... should be kept, showing quantity of carcinogen & date it was acquired . Facilities for dispensing ... should be contiguous to storage area. Chemical Carcinogens

4-DIMETHYLAMINOAZOBENZENE can detonate, particularly if sensitized by the presence of metal salts or strong acids. May form toxic gases with acids, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, cyanides, inorganic fluorides, halogenated organics, isocyanates, ketones, metals, nitrides, peroxides, phenols, epoxides, acyl halides, and strong oxidizing or reducing agents. May form flammable gases with alkali metals. May react explosively with strong oxidizing agents, metal salts, peroxides, and sulfides. May react explosively with strong oxidizing agents, metal salts, peroxides, and sulfides.

The Human Health Assessment Group in EPA's Office of Health and Environmental Assessment has evaluated dimethylaminoazobenzene for carcinogenicity. According to their analysis, the weight-of-evidence for dimethylaminoazobenzene is group B2, which is based on no evidence in humans and sufficient evidence in animals. As a group B2 chemical, dimethylaminoazobenzene is considered to be probably carcinogenic to humans.
No information is available on the reproductive or developmental effects of 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene in humans. Animal studies have reported birth defects in the offspring of mice exposed to 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene.
The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.
Recovery of 0.29 ppm N,N-dimethyl-p-(phenylazo)aniline incubated with an original culture of settled domestic wastewater after 7 days was at trace levels and it was not detected following 1st, 2nd, and 3rd subcultures after 7 days each(1).
Using a reported log octanol/water partition coefficient of 4.58(1), an estimated BCF of 1780 was calculated(2,SRC). Based on this estimated BCF, N,N-dimethyl-p-(phenylazo)aniline should bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC).
Using a reported log octanol/water partition coefficient of 4.58(1), an estimated Koc of 7390 was calculated(2,SRC). Based on this estimated Koc, N,N-dimethyl-p-(phenylazo)aniline should adsorb to soils and sediment. Since N,N-dimethyl-p-(phenylazo)aniline has a pKa of 3.226 at 25 deg C(3), and it exists partially as a cation, the extent of its adsorption to soils and sediments may be affected by the pH of the medium.

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.
