IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas.INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated areatake deep breaths of fresh air. IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be usedif not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing.INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. Be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital if advised by a physician. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital.OTHER: Since this chemical is a known or suspected carcinogen you should contact a physician for advice regarding the possible long term health effects and potential recommendation for medical monitoring. Recommendations from the physician will depend upon the specific compound, its chemical, physical and toxicity properties, the exposure level, length of exposure, and the route of exposure.

Environmental fateTERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 5,000(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 1,5-naphthalenediamine is expected to have slight mobility in soil(SRC). 1,5-Naphthalenediamine is a weak base with a pKa of 4.44(3) indicating it will partially exist in the protonated form under acidic conditions. Volatilization from moist surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process because cations do not volatilize and the estimated Henry's Law constant of the free base is 6.6X10-11 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated using a fragment constant estimation method(4). 1,5-Naphthalenediamine is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 2.9X10-5 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(5). 1,5-Naphthalenediamine was not degraded in a single screening study using an activated sludge inoculumhowever, no data were located regarding the biodegradation of 1,5-naphthalenediamine in soil(6).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 5,000(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 1,5-naphthalenediamine is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). 1,5-Naphthalenediamine is a weak base with a pKa of 4.44(3) indicating it will partially exist in the protonated form under acidic conditions. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process because cations do not volatilize and the estimated Henry's Law constant of the free base is 6.6X10-11 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated using a fragment constant estimation method(4). According to a classification scheme(5), a BCF of 1.5 measured in carp(6), suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). 1,5-Naphthalenediamine was not degraded in a single screening study using an activated sludge inoculum(5)however, no data were located regarding the biodegradation of 1,5-naphthalenediamine in water(SRC).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 1,5-naphthalenediamine, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 2.9X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C (SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1,5-naphthalenediamine is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 2 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2X10-10 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Particulate-phase 1,5-naphthalenediamine may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Naphthalene and structurally related chemicals absorb light greater than 290 nm and may be susceptible to photolysis(4)however the rate of this potential reaction is not known for 1,5-naphthalenediamine(SRC).

ICSC Environmental DataThe substance is harmful to aquatic organisms.
Soil Adsorption/MobilityUsing a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for 1,5-naphthalenediamine can be estimated to be 5,000(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,5-naphthalenediamine is expected to have slight mobility in soil. The pKa of 1,5-naphthalenediamine is 4.44(3), indicating that this compound will partially exist in the protonated form in the environment under acidic conditions and cations generally adsorb to organic carbon and clay more strongly than their neutral counterparts(4). Primary and secondary aromatic amines are also susceptible to strong irreversible binding to humic material due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group(5).
Artificial Pollution Sources1,5-Naphthalenediamine's production and use as an organic synthesis reagent(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).
Environmental Biodegradation1,5-Naphthalenediamine, present at 100 mg/l, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/l and the Japanese MITI test(1). No biodegradation data was located for 1,5-naphthalenediamine in soil or water(SRC).

Environmental BioconcentrationA BCF of 1.5 was measured for carp exposed to 0.02 mg/l of 1,5-naphthalenediamine for 6 weeks(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Volatilization from Water/Soil1,5-Naphthalenediamine is a weak base with a pKa of 4.44(1) indicating it will partially exist in the protonated form under acidic conditions. Volatilization from water and moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process because cations do not volatilize and the estimated Henry's Law constant of the free base is 6.6X10-11 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated using a fragment constant estimation method(2). 1,5-Naphthalenediamine is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 2.9X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(3).
