SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this chemical may include skin and eye irritation, headache, drowsiness, mental confusion and liver damage. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits toxic fumes. It is highly toxic by inhalation and skin absorption. (NTP, 1992)
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 if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the 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/

The substance is irritating to the eyes. The substance is mildly irritating to the skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in anaemia. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.
AEROBIC: In an aerobic screening study using acclimated activated sludge inoculum, o-phenylenediamine (initial concentration of 25 to 30 ppm) exhibited 33% removal after 5 days incubation(1). In a screening test using soil microflora and an initial concentration of 10 ug/mL o-phenylenediamine, the decomposition period was observed to be >64 days for total loss of ultraviolet absorbency at a wavelength of 294 nm(2). o-Phenylenediamine (initial concentration of 500 ppm) exhibited a 44.5% theoretical BOD after 8 days in a Warburg respirometer using aniline-acclimated sludge at 20 deg C(3). o-Phenylenediamine, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(4).
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for o-phenylenediamine(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.15(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).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of o-phenylenediamine can be estimated to be 34(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that o-phenylenediamine is expected to have very high mobility in soil. However, aromatic amines are expected to bind strongly to humus or organic matter in soils due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group(3,4), suggesting that mobility may be much lower in some soils(SRC).

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.
