	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Risk of fire and explosion on contact with oxidizing agents.	NO open flames. NO contact with oxidizing agents.	Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.

AVOID ALL CONTACT! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat. Blue lips, fingernails and skin. Confusion. Convulsions. Dizziness. Headache. Nausea. Unconsciousness.	Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. See Notes.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention .
Eyes	Redness.	Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	See Inhalation.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention . See Notes.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and particulates adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1; UN Pack Group: III
STORAGE
Separated from strong oxidants, strong acids and food and feedstuffs. Dry. Well closed. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing.
PACKAGING
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

ANILINE HYDROCHLORIDE

ICSC: 1013

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance HYGROSCOPIC WHITE CRYSTALS. TURNS DARK ON EXPOSURE TO AIR AND LIGHT. Physical dangers Chemical dangers Decomposes on heating and on contact with acids. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including aniline, nitrogen oxides and hydrogen chloride. Reacts violently with oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard.	Formula: C₆H₈ClN / C₆H₇N . HCl Molecular mass: 129.59 Boiling point: 245°C Melting point: 196-202°C Density: 1.22 g/cm³ Solubility in water, g/100ml at 20°C: 107 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.46 Flash point: 193°C o.c.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. Exposure at high levels could cause death. Medical observation is indicated. The effects may be delayed. See Notes.	Inhalation risk No indication can be given about the rate at which a harmful concentration of this substance in the air is reached on evaporation at 20°C. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. Exposure at high levels could cause death. Medical observation is indicated. The effects may be delayed. See Notes.

Inhalation risk
No indication can be given about the rate at which a harmful concentration of this substance in the air is reached on evaporation at 20°C.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: 2 ppm as TWA; (skin); A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans); BEI issued. MAK: 7.7 mg/m³, 2 ppm; peak limitation category: II(2); skin absorption (H); sensitization of skin (SH); carcinogen category: 4; pregnancy risk group: C; BAT issued

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms.

NOTES
Use of alcoholic beverages enhances the harmful effect. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. See ICSC 0011.
