Physical dangers

Chemical dangers
The substance is a weak base. Decomposes on burning. This produces nitrogen oxides.

Formula: C₁₅H₃₀N₂
Molecular mass: 238.5
Boiling point: 342°C
Melting point: -7°C
Relative density (water = 1): 0.95
Solubility in water, g/100ml at 20°C: 0.4
Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 0.08
Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.5

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is very corrosive to the eyes and skin. The substance is corrosive to the respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. Inhalation of high levels of the aerosol may cause lung oedema. See Notes.	Inhalation risk 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. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure The substance may have effects on the skin. This may result in chronic disease (scleroderma). The substance may have effects on the blood, cardiovascular system, kidneys and liver. This may result in anaemia, cardiac disorders, kidney impairment and liver impairment.

The substance may have effects on the skin. This may result in chronic disease (scleroderma). The substance may have effects on the blood, cardiovascular system, kidneys and liver. This may result in anaemia, cardiac disorders, kidney impairment and liver impairment.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment.

NOTES
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.
