ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides.
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient 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 the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Organic bases/Amines and related compounds/

- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: The concentration of N-nitrosodiethylamine (18.0 ppm nitroso-N) in lake water was essentially unchanged after 108 days incubation in the dark at 30°C. While the level of N-nitrosodiethylamine amended with raw sewage at pH 6.0 slowly decreased from approximately 17 ppm to 12 ppm over 14 days; the fact that the decrease was nearly the same in sterilized samples indicates that abiotic factors may have been responsible for the loss. At pH 7.2 the rate of loss was greater than for autoclaved sewage, however heat treatment may have altered sample properties so that nonbiological loss was diminished(1).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for N-nitrosodiethylamine(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.48(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of N-nitrosodiethylamine can be estimated to be 83(SRC). The Koc of N-nitrosodiethylamine can be estimated as 14(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.48(2) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(3), these estimated Koc values suggest that N-nitrosodiethylamine is expected to have very high to high mobility in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
13.Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
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.
Contaminated packaging
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.
