EXPLOSION | Gas/air mixtures are explosive. | Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Use non-sparking handtools. | In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position. |
EXPOSURE | STRICT HYGIENE! | ||
INHALATION | Burning sensation. Cough. Headache. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. Sore throat. Symptoms may be delayed (see Notes). | Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. |
SKIN | ON CONTACT WITH LIQUID: FROSTBITE. | Cold-insulating gloves. Protective clothing. | ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes. Refer for medical attention. |

Turn leaking cylinder with the leak up to prevent escape of gas in liquid state. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. Do NOT spray water on leaking cylinder (to prevent corrosion of cylinder). See ICSC 1485 Dimethylamine, aqueous solution.
