DOT Hazard Classificationp-NitrosodimethylanilineUN1369Div 4.2 Spontaneously combustible material (49 eCFR § 173.124)PG II: the degree of danger presented by the material is medium
Air and Water ReactionsSusceptible to spontaneous combustion upon exposure to air. Insoluble in water.
Fire fightingExcerpt from ERG Guide 135 [Substances - Spontaneously Combustible]:
Accidental release measures· CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover.· ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area.
First aidEYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.General First Aid:
Exposure control and personal protection· Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Storage conditions...KEEP ALL FLAMMABLES AWAY FROM AREA WHERE OXIDIZING AGENTS ARE STORED. STORAGE AREA SHOULD BE KEPT COOL & VENTILATED, & SHOULD BE FIREPROOF.
Nonfire spill responseExcerpt from ERG Guide 135 [Substances - Spontaneously Combustible]:
Preventive Measures...CARE MUST ALWAYS BE TAKEN TO PREVENT ESCAPE OF VAPOR OR PARTICLES INTO ATMOSPHERE & TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION OF SKIN OR CLOTHING OF OPERATOR BY DIRECT CONTACT WITH CHEMICAL. /AROMATIC AMINES/
Isolation and EvacuationExcerpt from ERG Guide 135 [Substances - Spontaneously Combustible]:Immediate precautionary measure
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)Excerpt from ERG Guide 135 [Substances - Spontaneously Combustible]:
Emergency Response Planning Guidelines· DO NOT USE WATER, CO2 OR FOAM ON MATERIAL ITSELF.
Adverse effectsNeurotoxin - Other CNS neurotoxin
Human Toxicity Excerpts...APPARENTLY NOT METHEMOGLOBIN FORMER, BUT IS HIGHLY IRRITATING TO SKIN BOTH AS PRIMARY IRRITANT & SENSITIZING AGENT.
Non-Human Toxicity ExcerptsP-NITROSODIMETHYLANILINE ADMIN TO NZR RATS & NZO MICE @ 300 MG/L DRINKING WATER OVER 1ST HALVES OF LIFESPAN, AVG AMT ACTUALLY CONSUMED 1.2 G/RAT & 262 MG/MOUSE. SIGNIFICANT INCREASES OCCURRED IN TUMORS OF LUNGS, KIDNEY & MALIGNANT LYMPHOMA IN RATS, & IN TUMORS OF LUNGS, DUODENUM & MALIGNANT LYMPHOMA IN MICE.THE EFFECTS OF A SINGLE SC INJECTION OF P-NITROSODIMETHYLANILINE (I) ON MALE RATS WERE STUDIED BY THE USE OF URINARY ENZYME MEASUREMENTS. ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE IN URINE WAS ELEVATED 48 HOURS AFTER I. ACID PHOSPHATASE AND MURAMIDASE ACTIVITIES IN URINE WERE SIGNIFICANTLY ELEVATED SOON AFTER THE ADMIN OF I AND REMAINED ABOVE THE NORMAL LEVELS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 120 HOURS AFTER I. URINE VOLUME AND PROTEIN LEVELS WERE MARKEDLY REDUCED. PROTEIN IN SERUM WAS REDUCED WHILE KIDNEY AND LIVER PROTEINS WERE RAISED. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF INTERACTION OF THE BIOTRANSFORMATION PRODUCTS OF I WITH THE RENAL SYSTEM IS DISCUSSED.AFTER THE APPLICATION OF 25 GAMMA P-NITROSODIMETHYLANILINE (I) TO EPILATED GUINEA PIG SKIN, THE ANIMAL INITIALLY BECAME MILDLY SENSITIVE TO THE COMPOUND, BUT 1-2 WEEKS LATER THE GUINEA PIG BECAME INSENSITIVE TO SC INJECTED I 500 GAMMA IN COMPLETE ADJUVANT. THE SHORTER THE INTERVAL BETWEEN THE TOPICAL APPLICATION OF I AND ITS INJECTION IN ADJUVANT, THE GREATER THE SENSITIVE REACTION, INDICATED BY THE DEGREE OF ERYTHEMA. ONE DAY AFTER A SENSITIZING INJECTION, SOME MEASURE OF INSENSITIVITY WAS INDUCED BY TOPICAL APPLICATION OF THE SENSITIZER. THEREFORE, UNRESPONSIVENESS AND SENSITIZATION DEVELOPED OVER THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME AFTER THE INITIAL TOPICAL APPLICATION OF SENSITIZER.N,N-Dimethyl-p-nitrosoaniline was found to be positive when tested for mutagenicity using the Salmonella/microsome preincubation assay, using the standard protocol approved by the National Toxicology Program (NTP). N,N-Dimethyl-p-nitrosoaniline was tested in as many as 5 Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA97, TA98, and TA100) in the presence and absence of rat and hamster liver S-9, at doses of 1.000, 3.300, 5.000, 8.000,l 10.000, 33.000, 50.000, 100.000, 200.000, and 333.000 ug/plate. The compound was positive in strains TA100 and TA98 with and without activation. The lowest positive dose tested was 8.000 ug/plate in strain TA100 without activation.
