2. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: This product is a clear, colorless to amber colored, corrosive solution with a light, disinfectant
odor. Depending on the duration of contact, over-exposures can severely irritate the skin or eyes and respiratory system,
or cause burns. This product is neither reactive nor flammable. Thermal decomposition of this product produces irritating
vapors and toxic gases (e.g. carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and sodium). Emergency responders
must wear personal protective equipment (and have appropriate fire-extinguishing protection) suitable for the situation to
which they are responding.
INHALATION: If the vapors, mists or sprays of this solution are inhaled, symptoms of exposure may include breathing
difficulty, irritation of the mucus membranes, coughing, nasal congestion, and a sore throat. Inhalation of high concentrations
of this product may produce central nervous system depression, with symptoms such as lethargy, drowsiness, staggering and
sleepiness. Chronic inhalation exposures to Monoethanolamine (a component of this product) may produce liver, kidney and
pulmonary damage. Severe inhalation over-exposures of this product can lead to chemical pneumonitis, pulmonary edema,
and death.
CONTACT WITH SKIN or EYES: Depending on the duration of skin contact, skin overexposures may cause reddening,
discomfort, severe irritation or chemical burns. Monoethanolamine, a component of this product, may cause sensitization
upon prolonged or repeated exposure in susceptible individuals. Subsequent exposure to small amounts of the product may
result in an allergic-type reaction. Repeated skin overexposures to this product may cause dermatitis (dry, red skin). Direct
eye contact with the liquid can cause stinging, tearing and redness. Severe eye overexposures may cause burns, pain,
reddening, watering, and possibly, blindness. Exposure to relatively low concentrations of mist and vapors of
Monoethanolamine (a component of this product) may cause a visual disturbance known as "blue haze" or "halo vision".
Several hours after exposure, vision becomes foggy or blurred, objects may appear bluish and there may be halos around
lights. Affected persons may experience no eye discomfort or pain. The effect normally clears up within a day and causes no
permanent injury.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Monoethanolamine, a component of this product may be absorbed through the skin, effects similar to
those described for inhalation or ingestion would be anticipated.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ALL WORK PRACTICES MUST BE AIMED AT ELIMINATING ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
ENVIRONMENTAL STABILITY: The components of this product will decompose into other organic and inorganic compounds over time
under normal environmental conditions. Additional environmental data are available as follows:
ETHANOLAMINE:
KOW = -1.31 (est.)
Water Solubility: Miscible.
Bioconcentration: A bioconcentration factor (BCF) of was estimated for 2-aminoethanol (MEA) based on a log Kow of -1.31. This BCF value and complete
solubility of MEA in water suggest that this compound does not bioconcentrate significantly in aquatic organisms
Biodegradation: Biological oxygen demand (BOD): 78%, 5 days; (theoretical) 0%, 5 days; 64%, 20 days.
Persistence: Biodegrades at moderate rate.
Terrestrial Fate: If released to soil, Ethanolamine is expected to biodegrade fairly rapidly following acclimatization, with a half-life on the order of days to
week. Ethanolamine will leach in soil to groundwater. Volatilization is not a significant fate process from the soil.
Aquatic Fate: If released to water, Ethanolamine should undergo biodegradation. The half-life in water is expected to be from a few days to weeks,
depending on the acclimatization in the aquatic system.
Atmospheric Fate: If released to the atmosphere, Ethanolamine is expected to exist entirely in the vapor phase. The primary mechanism of removal from
the atmosphere would be by reaction with photochemically generated hydroxyl radicals, with an expected half-life of 4 hours. The complete solubility if
Ethanolamine suggests that it will also be removed by precipitation.
