Biological Exposure Indices (BEI) [ACGIH] - Methemoglobin in blood = 1.5% of hemoglobin during or at end of shift. [ACGIH]

0.5 [ppm]

IN GENERAL, MATERIALS WHICH ARE TOXIC AS STORED OR WHICH CAN DECOMP INTO TOXIC COMPONENTS...SHOULD BE STORED IN A COOL, WELL-VENTILATED PLACE, OUT OF DIRECT RAYS OF THE SUN, AWAY FROM AREAS OF HIGH FIRE HAZARD, & SHOULD BE PERIODICALLY INSPECTED... INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS SHOULD BE ISOLATED FROM EACH OTHER.

SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

SRP: Local exhaust ventilation should be applied wherever there is an incidence of point source emissions or dispersion of regulated contaminants in the work area. Ventilation control of the contaminant as close to its point of generation is both the most economical and safest method to minimize personnel exposure to airborne contaminants.

The worker should immediately wash the skin when it becomes contaminated.

Work clothing that becomes wet or significantly contaminated should be removed and replaced.

Immediate precautionary measure

TERRESTRIAL FATE: N-Methylaniline has low adsorptivity to soil(2) and if released on soil may leach, especially in sandy soil. It may photodegrade on the soil surface(3). Some N-methylaniline may also volatilize from the soil surface. When N-methylaniline was applied to land in sludge and the sludge allowed to dry and then tilled into the soil to a depth 6 inches within 5 days, N-methylaniline degraded fairly rapidly(1). The avg concn of N-methylaniline over 3 plots in 0-6 inch cores was 511, 138, and 16 ppb, 5, 122 and 241 days after sludge application, respectively. While 82 ppb of N-methylaniline was found in 9-15 inch cores, 5 days after application, none was found at later sampling dates. While N-methylaniline biodegrades in screening studies and may therefore be expected to biodegrade in soil, it is also known to slowly react with humic material in soil(4). It is easily oxidized(5) and may react with natural oxidants in soil(SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: The Henry's Law constant is estimated to be 1.14X10-5 atm-cu m/mol(SRC), from its vapor pressure, 0.453 mm Hg(1), and water solubility, 5624 mg/L(2). Using this Henry's Law constant, its half-life in a model river and model lake is estimated to be 3.5 and 28 days, respectively(3,SRC). N-Methylaniline is sensitive to photooxidation and may photodegrade in surface water(4). It is sensitive to oxidation(5) and may be oxidized by naturally-occurring oxidants in the water body(SRC). N-Methylaniline has a low Koc(6) and BCF(7) would not be expected to adsorb to sediment or bioconcentrate in fish(SRC).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to its vapor pressure, 0.453 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), N-methylaniline should exist in the atmosphere as a vapor(4). It will react with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals with an estimated half-life of 8.8 hr(3,SRC). It may also photolyze or oxidize while in the vapor phase or in aerosols. The rates of vapor phase photolysis are unknown. N-Methylaniline is fairly soluble in water, 5624 mg/L(1), and therefore should be scavenged by rain(SRC).

Samples of fresh vegetables containing N-methylaniline include (vegetable, concn): spinach, 3.4 ppm; red cabbage, 0.3 ppm; carrots, 0.8 ppm; celery, 0.5 ppm(1). No N-methylaniline was found in cabbage, cauliflower, kale, white beet, swede, red beet, large radish and red radish(1). Samples of pickled vegetables containing N-methylaniline include (vegetable, concn): paprika, 13.1 ppm; cucumber, 13.8 ppm; cucumber with mustard, 6.1 ppm; onion, 6.8 ppm; celery, 7 ppm(1). Tilsiter cheese and brown bread contained 37.9 and 0.7 ppm of N-methylaniline, but the chemical was not found in various forms of herring, cod roe and camembert and limburger cheese(1).

The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour, by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion.

In a comprehensive survey of wastewater from 4000 industrial and publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) sponsored by the Effluent Guidelines Division of the U.S. EPA, N-methylaniline was identified in discharges of the following industrial category (positive occurrences, median concn in ppb): petroleum refining (1; 161.3), printing and publishing (1; 9.8), pharmaceuticals (2; 1022), foundries (1; 2.2), aluminum (1; 6.1), organic chemicals (5; 18.5), publicly owned treatment works (2; 39.8)(1). The highest effluent concn was 1736 ppb in the pharmaceuticals industry(1). N-Methylaniline was detected in the effluent of one of three New Jersey publicly-owned treatment works (POTWs) at 13-17 ppb(2). It was detected, but not quantified, in wastewater from the Kashima petrochemical complex (includes organic chemicals factory) in Japan(3). Sludge from the Muskegon County (MI) Wastewater Treatment System contained 310 ppb of N-methylaniline which was applied to land(4).

Since the pKa of N-methylaniline is 4.848(2), N-methylaniline will be partially ionized at acidic environmental pHs and its adsorption to soil would be expected to be pH-dependent(SRC). The Koc for N-methylaniline predicted from molecular structure is 65(3). According to a suggested classification scheme(5), this estimated Koc suggests that N- methylaniline will be highly mobile in soil(SRC). Batch equilibrium studies used to determine the adsorption isotherms for N-methylaniline to a Podzol (4.85% OC pH 2.8), an Alfisol (1.25% OC, pH 6.7) and a sediment (1.58% OC, pH 7.1) yielded the results (soil, Freundlich adsorption constants (Kf), Freundlich exponent (1/n), Koc): Podzol, 22.29, 0.89, 460; Alfisol, 0.59, 0.78, 47; Sediment, 1.12, 0.77, 71(1). N-Methylaniline will be almost completely ionized at the pH of the Podzol and therefore ionic interactions may be dominant(1,SRC). N-Methylaniline reacts slowly with humates possibly by adding to quinoidal structures in the humic substances(4). Covalent bond formation is inferred by the lack of extractability of the aniline from the humic material as well as reactions with model compounds(4).

N-METHYLANILINE YIELDS N,N-DIMETHYLANILINE IN MYCOBACTERIUM. /FROM TABLE/

THE METABOLISM OF N-METHYLANILINE WAS STUDIED IN VITRO IN SEVERAL TISSUES OF THE IMMATURE HUMAN FETUS AND IN THE HUMAN PLACENTA. THE HIGHEST METABOLIZING ACTIVITY WAS OBSERVED IN THE LIVER. COMPARED TO ADULT RAT LIVER THE RANGE OF HEPATIC METABOLIC ACTIVITY VARIED FROM 5 TO APPROX 50% IN SOME FETUSES FOR N-METHYLANILINE DEMETHYLASE. ADRENAL GLAND HOMOGENATES HAD MEASURABLE N-METHYLANILINE METABOLIZING ACTIVITIES. IN THE GI TRACT, BRAIN, KIDNEYS, AND LUNGS THERE WAS NEGLIGIBLE OR NO ACTIVITY. IN ONE OF FIVE PLACENTAS STUDIED, ENZYME ACTIVITY COMPARABLE TO THAT IN THE LIVER WAS DETECTED. COFACTOR REQUIREMENTS OF THIS ENZYME INDICATED THAT IT WAS A DRUG-METABOLIZING MIXED-FUNCTION OXIDASE. IT WAS INHIBITED IN VITRO BY COMPOUNDS KNOWN TO BE SUBSTRATES OF LIVER MICROSOMAL DRUG METABOLIZING ENZYMES. THE LEVEL OF GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE ACTIVITY IN THE FETAL LIVER WAS THE SAME OR HIGHER THAN IN ADULT RAT OR HUMAN LIVER.

N-Methylaniline is a known human metabolite of N,N-Dimethylaniline.
