Unknown
Not listed by IARC, NTP or OSHA
TLV(ACGIH) – Not established; PEL (OSHA) – Not established
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Mild skin and eye irritant. Aniline, present as a minor component
(0.5%), may cause methemoglobinemia. Avoid breathing dust; avoid
contact with eyes and skin; wash thoroughly after handling. Irritating to
eyes and skin. May cause sensitization by skin contact.
Harmful: Danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure
through inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.
OES/HSE ANILINE:
TWA = 10 mg/m3
TWA = 2 ppm
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Can be absorbed through the skin
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
INHALATION:
.
If large amounts are inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing has
stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer
oxygen and call a physician.

EYE CONTACT:
Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15
minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating eyelids with fingers.
Seek medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT:
Immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water while
removing contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before
reuse.
INGESTION:
Induce vomiting by giving two glasses of water and sticking finger
down the throat. Consult a physician. Never give anything by mouth to
an unconscious person.
SECTION 5 - FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
.
EXTINQUISHING MEDIA:
Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:
If excessive smoke or fumes are encountered, wear self-contained
breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with
skin and eyes.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
A self contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing
should be worn in fire conditions.
UNUSUAL HAZARD:
Emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and oxides of
sulfur and nitrogen under fire conditions. Sulfanilic acid can produce
flammable dust clouds in air. Take precautionary measures against
static discharges. If involved in a fire, it may emit noxious and toxic
fumes.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
.
SPILLS OR LEAKS:
Wear respirator, chemical safety goggles, chemical boots and
chemical gloves. Sweep up, place in drum and hold for approved
waste disposal in compliance with local, state, and federal
requirements. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid skin and eye contact and
inhalation.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
Ensure suitable personal protection (including respiratory
protection) during removal of spillages.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP:
Protect against dust. Clear up spillages, transfer to a container for
disposal.Wash the spillage area clean.
