Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Specific Hazards: Produces toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide during fire
Special Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective suit, avoid direct contact with product or smoke
Fire Fighting Precautions: Remove all people from area, stay upwind, cool containers with water
Explosion Hazard: Not classified as flammable but may intensify fire if heated
Personal Precautions: Wear eye protection, chemically-resistant gloves, avoid breathing vapors
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, drains, or soil
Spill Response: Ventilate area, absorb with inert material (sand, earth), collect in labeled containers, clean residue with water
Decontamination: Wash area thoroughly with large quantities of water
Disposal: Follow disposal section for all contaminated items and cleanup material
Handling: Keep container tightly closed, work in well-ventilated areas, avoid breathing fumes or direct skin/eye contact, use personal protective equipment suited for corrosive substances
Storage: Store in original container, protected from moisture and strong acids, keep below recommended storage temperature (generally under 30°C), store in a dry, well-ventilated place away from heat sources, incompatible with oxidizers and strong acids
Special Storage Needs: Keep away from food, beverages, and animal feed, use secondary containment to manage leaks
Exposure Limits: No established OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV for AEEA; minimize exposure
Engineering Controls: Use fume hoods, adequate general ventilation, and local exhaust at points of vapor generation
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical splash goggles, face shield, impervious gloves (nitrile, neoprene), long-sleeved clothing, chemical-resistant shoes
Respiratory Protection: Use respirators with organic vapor/acid gas cartridges if ventilation is not enough
Workplace Hygiene: Remove and wash contaminated clothing, practice good skin hygiene, never eat/drink/smoke around chemicals

Acute Toxicity: Harmful if swallowed (oral LD50 in rats approximately 1,480 mg/kg), also harmful via skin contact (dermal LD50 around 2,500 mg/kg, rat)
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes deep burns, blisters on exposure
Eye Damage/Irritation: Severe eye damage likely rapidly on contact
Respiratory Irritation: Causes coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing
Chronic Effects: Repeated or prolonged skin exposure may cause dermatitis, asthma implications not fully studied
Sensitization: Not classified as sensitizer, but rare cases may occur
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity and Reproductive: Limited data suggest no significant risks at industrial exposure levels
Aquatic Toxicity: Toxic to aquatic life at high concentrations (LC50 fish, 24-96 hr: 90-100 mg/L); can raise pH in water bodies
Persistence and Degradability: Readily biodegradable under aerobic conditions
Bioaccumulation: Not expected to bioaccumulate, low octanol-water partition coefficient
Mobility in Soil: Moves freely in soil, but binds to organics
Other Effects: Spills can disrupt wastewater treatment and local ecosystems
Waste Disposal: Handle as hazardous waste, incinerate liquid residues in licensed facilities, neutralize small spills with dilute acid then rinse with water
Container Disposal: Triple rinse containers, do not reuse, send to chemical waste disposal site
Other Disposal Notes: Observe all local, regional, and national regulations for chemical disposal, do not allow product to reach sewer or soil
