First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. Provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
Eye Contact: Rinse with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if applicable. Seek immediate medical help.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately.

Handling and Storage

• Store in a tightly closed, grounded container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area

• Keep away from heat sources, ignition sources, and incompatible materials (acids, oxidizers)

• Use only non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment

• Ensure local ventilation to avoid vapor buildup

Environmental Considerations

Dimethylamine is harmful to aquatic life. Prevent release into water systems. Dispose of waste and residues in accordance with local environmental regulations.
