Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention .

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention . Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!).

SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include irritation of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract, and narcosis. Other symptoms include eczemoid contact dermatitis and bronchial asthma. It can cause hypersensitivity reactions (skin sensitization), skin allergies (such as disseminated neurodermatitis), arthritis, conjunctivitis, gastrointestinal disturbances, neurological symptoms, spleen enlargement, vertigo, gastritis, diplopia, asthenia, exfoliative dermatitis and, on chronic exposure, jaundice and liver atrophy. Eye contact can cause inflammation, damage of the periocular and ocular tissues, edema and hyperemia of the lids and conjunctiva with tearing and exophthalmos, pain and burning of the eyes, redness and swelling of the lids, erosion of the corneal epithelium, iritis, iridocyclitis and retrobulbar neuritis with central scotoma. There have been cases of limitation of eye movement with proptosis, involvement of the cornea with loss of epithelium and infiltration, optic neuritis with papilledema, and lost or permanently impaired vision due to severe corneal ulceration. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is harmful by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. It is an irritant of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrogen chloride gas. (NTP, 1992)

For immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If victim is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Organic bases, amines, and related compounds

Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. (NTP, 1992)

Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, it is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)

Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.

Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.

NO open flames. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.

Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.

Protective gloves. Protective clothing.

Use local exhaust or breathing protection.

Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes of nitrogen oxides and hydrogen chloride.

Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air.Acidic organic/inorganic salts, such as 1,4-PHENYLENEDIAMINE DIHYDROCHLORIDE, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate to high concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Many of these compounds catalyze organic reactions.

The substance is irritating to the eyes. The substance may cause effects on the blood and kidneys. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin and kidney impairment. Medical observation is indicated. The effects may be delayed.

Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Repeated or prolonged inhalation may cause asthma.

Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

3.8% biodegradation was observed when 1,4-diaminobenzene dihydrochloride (initial concentration unspecified) was incubated with an activated sludge inoculum obtained from a municipal sewage treatment facility over a 5 day incubation period(1).

An experimental BCF value of 450 was measured for algae exposed to 1,4-diaminobenzene dihydrochloride for 24 hours(1). An experimental BCF value of 6 was measured for fish (golden ide) exposed to 1,4-diaminobenzene dihydrochloride for 3 days(1).

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.

Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.The symptoms of asthma 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.Anyone who has shown symptoms of asthma due to this substance should avoid all further contact.Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available.See ICSC 0805.
