POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate
that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage
to the health of the individual.
There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause, if swallowed
once, irreversible damage of organs.
EYE
This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.
SKIN
Skin contact with the material may be harmful; systemic effects may result
following absorption.
The material is not thought to be a skin irritant (as classified using animal
models). Temporary discomfort, however, may result from prolonged dermal
exposures. Good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and
that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
There is some evidence to suggest that this material, on a single contact with
skin, can cause irreversible damage of organs.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,
may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the
use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
Harmful by inhalation.
The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified
using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation of the material, especially for
prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort and occasionally,
distress.
Inhalation of vapors or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material
during the course of normal handling, may be harmful.
There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause, if inhaled once,
irreversible damage of organs.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern
following repeated or long-term occupational exposure. There has been some
concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations but there is not enough
data to make an assessment. There is limited evidence that, skin contact with
this product is more likely to cause a sensitization reaction in some persons
compared to the general population. Prolonged or chronic exposure to
alkanolamines may result in liver, kidney or nervous system injury. Repeated
inhalation may aggravate asthma and inflammatory or fibrotic pulmonary disease.
Results of repeated exposure tests with diethanolamine (DEA) in laboratory
animals include anaemia (rats) and effects on the kidneys (rats and mice) and
liver (mice). DEA produces nervous system injury in dogs and rats. Heart and
salivary gland lesions have also been seen in mice treated cutaneously with DEA

Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
and in mice receiving DEA in drinking water. Rats given high doses of DEA
developed anaemia and testicular lesions. Exaggerated doses of DEA produced
heart and nervous system effects in other animals. Changes in other organs were
judged to be secondary due to the poor health of animals subjected to extremely
high doses of DEA. Rats, rabbits and guinea pigs exposed to high vapour
concentrations of volatile monoethanolamine (MEA) (up to 1250 ppm) for periods
of up to 5 weeks developed pulmonary, hepatic and renal lesions. Dogs, rats and
guinea pigs exposed to 100 ppm MEA for 30 days, became apathetic and developed
poor appetites. Animal tests also indicate that inhalation exposure to MEA may
result in nervous system injury. All species exposed to airborne MEA experienced
dermal effects, varying from ulceration to hair loss probably resulting from
contact with the cage. An increased incidence of skeletal variations, suggestive
of a slight developmental delay was seen in the foetuses of rats given 1500
mg/kg/day DEA cutaneously; this also produced significant maternal toxicity. No
foetal malformations, however, were seen in rats nor in rabbits receiving
identical treatment. The foetus of rats given high doses of MEA by gavage,
showed an increased rate of embryofoetal death, growth retardation, and some
malformations including hydronephrosis and hydroureter. The high doses required
to produce these effects bring into question the relevance of this finding to
humans. There is some evidence that embryofoetotoxicity and teratogenicity does
not occur in rats when MEA is administered by dermal application to the mother.
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) concluded that there is clear evidence of
liver tumours and some evidence of kidney tumours in mice exposed dermally to
DEA over their lifetime. Chronic skin painting studies in mice of both sexes
produced liver tumours and an increased incidence of kidney tumours in male
mice. The significance of these findings to humans is unclear as DEA is neither
genotoxic, mutagenic nor clastogenic, and did not induce tumours in rats or
transgenic mice similarly treated. Alkanolamines (especially those containing a
secondary amine moiety) may react with nitrites or other nitrosating agents to
form carcinogenic N-nitrosamines. Alkanolamines are metabolised by biosynthetic
routes to ethanolamine and choline and incorporated into phospholipids. They are
excreted predominantly unchanged with a half-life of approximately one week. In
the absence of sodium nitrite, no conversion to carcinogenic N-nitrosamines was
observed. Diethanolamine competitively inhibits the cellular uptake of choline,
in vitro, and hepatic changes in choline homeostasis, consistent with choline
deficiency, are observed in vivo. Many amines are potent skin and respiratory
sensitisers and certain individuals especially those described as "atopic" (i.e.
those predisposed to asthma and other allergic responses) may show allergic
reactions when chronically exposed to alkanolamines. In a study with coconut
diethanolamide, the National Toxicology Program (Technical Report Series 479),
showed clear evidence of carcinogenic activity in male B6C3F1 mice based on
increased incidences of hepatic and renal tubule neoplasms and in female B6C3F1
mice based on increased incidences of hepatic neoplasms. There was equivocal
evidence of carcinogenic activity in female F344/N rats based on a marginal
increase in the incidence of renal tube neoplasms. These increases were
associated with the concentration of free diethanolamine present as a
contaminant in the diethanolamine condensate. Exposure to rats to coconut oil
diethanolamine condensate by dermal application in ethanol for 2 years resulted
in epidermal hyperplasia, sebaceous gland hyperplasia, hyperkeratosis and
parakeratosis in males and females and ulcer in females at the site of
application. There were increases in the incidences of chronic inflammation,
epithelial hyperplasia, and epithelial ulcer in the forestomach of female rats.
The severity of nephropathy in dosed female rats were increased. Exposure of
mice to coconut oil diethanolamine condensate by dermal application for 2 years
resulted in increased incidences of eosinophilic foci of the liver in males.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin.
DO NOT USE brass or copper containers / stirrers.
Alkanolamines and iron may produced unstable complexes. Monoethanolamine (MEA)
and iron form a trisethanolamino-iron complex. This material may spontaneously
decompose at temperatures between 130 and 160 degrees C. and is suspected of
causing a fire in a nearly empty storage tank containing a "heel" of MEA in
contact with carbon steel coils. If steam coil heating is used, low pressure
steam in stainless steel coils should be considered. Drum heating should also be
reviewed and, where possible, temperatures should be maintained below 130
degrees C.
- Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.
- Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
- Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid contact with moisture.
- Avoid contact with incompatible materials.
- When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.
- Keep containers securely sealed when not in use.
- Avoid physical damage to containers.
- Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
- Work clothes should be laundered separately. Launder contaminated clothing
before re-use.
- Use good occupational work practice.
- Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
- Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards
to ensure safe working conditions are maintained.
RECOMMENDED STORAGE METHODS
- Polyethylene or polypropylene container.
- Packing as recommended by manufacturer
- Check all containers are clearly labeled and free from leaks.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
- Store in original containers.
- Keep containers securely sealed.
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.

Use appropriate NIOSH-certified respirator based on informed professional
judgement. In conditions where no reasonable estimate of exposure can be
made, assume the exposure is in a concentration IDLH and use NIOSH-certified
full face pressure demand SCBA with a minimum service life of 30 minutes, or
a combination full facepiece pressure demand SAR with auxiliary self-contained
air supply. Respirators provided only for escape from IDLH atmospheres shall be
NIOSH-certified for escape from the atmosphere in which they will be used.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Local exhaust ventilation usually required. If risk of overexposure exists, wear
an approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection
an approved self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required in some
situations. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage area.

Algal growth inhibition (Scenedesmus subspicatus) EC50: 470-750 mg/l
Inhibition of bacteria in effluent: 50% inhibition: >10000 mg/l
Inhibitory concentration (IC50) is OECD "Activated Sludge, Respiration
Inhibition Test" (Guideline 209) is >1000 mg/l. Material has shown a
potential to biodegrade. Attains >99% degradation in activated sludge in
24 hours. Attains >99% degradation in soil is 1-14 days.
Bioconcentration potential is low (BCF less than 100 or log Kow less
than 3). Log octanol/ water partition coefficient (log Kow) is estimated
using the Pomona-Medchem structural fragment to be -1.746. Potential for
the mobility in soil is very high (Koc betweeen 0 and 50).
Henry's Law Constant (H) is estimated to be 3.38E-19 atm.m?mol (25 C)
Log soil organic carbon partition coefficient (log Koc) is estimated to be
0.48.
When released into soil the material is expected to degrade without
significant evaporation. A half-life of between 1 to 10 days is expected.
When released into water, the material is expected to degrade with a
half-life of about 1 to 10 days. Beacuse the material has a log
octanol-water coefficient of less than 3 it is not expected to
bioaccumulate. Release to air is expected to produce photolytic
degradation resulting in hydroxyl radicals. The material is expected to be
removed from the atmosphere by dry and wet deposition (half-life between
1 and 10 days).
EDTA TETRASODIUM SALT:
Not readily biodegradable. Harmful to aquatic organisms.
May cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. [ORICA]

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified as "harmful by ingestion". This is because
of the lack of corroborating animal or human evidence. The material may still be
damaging to the health of the individual, following ingestion, especially where
pre-existing organ (e.g. liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions
of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producing mortality

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
- Safety glasses with side shields; or as required,
- Chemical goggles.
- Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all
lenses concentrate them.
HANDS/FEET
Wear general protective gloves, e.g.. light weight rubber gloves.
OTHER
No special equipment needed when handling small quantities.
OTHERWISE:
- Overalls.
- Barrier cream.
- Eyewash unit.
The local concentration of material, quantity and
conditions of use determine the type of personal
protective equipment required.
Use appropriate NIOSH-certified respirator based on informed professional
judgement. In conditions where no reasonable estimate of exposure can be
made, assume the exposure is in a concentration IDLH and use NIOSH-certified
full face pressure demand SCBA with a minimum service life of 30 minutes, or
a combination full facepiece pressure demand SAR with auxiliary self-contained
air supply. Respirators provided only for escape from IDLH atmospheres shall be
NIOSH-certified for escape from the atmosphere in which they will be used.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of
overexposure exists, wear an approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to
obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed
storage areas.
