Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patent can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal . Cover skin burns with dry sterile dressings after decontamination . /Organic bases/amines and related cmpds/

- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
Diisopropylamine achieved 1% of the theoretical BOD over an incubation period of 5 days in an aerobic screening study at 20 deg C using sewage inoculum(1). In a second run of the same screening study using acclimated sewage seed, 43% of the theoretical BOD was achieved after 5 days(1). At an initial concn of 10 ppm diisopropylamine, 0% of the theoretical BOD was observed after an incubation period of 14 days in a screening study using sludge inoculum(2). In the same study using acclimated sludge inoculum, 31.5% of the theoretical BOD was observed after 15 days using the same initial concn of diisopropylamine(2). Furthermore, in the same study, initial concns of 50 and 100 ppm diisopropylamine appeared to be inhibitory to microbial growth(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 2 was calculated for diisopropylamine(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.4(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
The Koc of diisopropylamine was estimated as 140(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.4(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that diisopropylamine is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of diisopropylamine is 11.07(4), indicating that the protonated form will be the predominant species in moist soils and cationic molecules generally adsorb to organic carbon and clays more strongly than their neutral counterparts(SRC).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 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.
