- First Aid: EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.; SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas.; INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop.

- Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for N-nitrosodiethanolamine(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -1.28(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that N-nitrosodiethanolamine is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of N-nitrosodiethanolamine from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 4.9X10-12 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(2). N-Nitrosodiethanolamine is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based on an estimated vapor pressure of 5.0X10-4 mm Hg at 20 °C(3). N-Nitrosodiethanolamine has a UV absorption max at 345 nm(4) which indicates that the compound may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). Biodegradation in soil may be slow(SRC), based upon N-nitrosodiethanolamine's slow biodegradation in two lake waters and sewage(5). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that N-nitrosodiethanolamine is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 4.9X10-12 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). According to a classification scheme(4), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from an estimated log Kow of -1.28(2) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. The direct photolysis rate constant for the analogous compound N-nitrosodiethylamine in aqueous solution exposed to irradiation representing Southern California midsummer, midday sun was observed to be 0.045/min with a half-life of 15 minutes and a quantum yield of 0.43(5); the photolysis rate of N-Nitrosodiethanolamine is expected to be similar(SRC). N-Nitrosodiethanolamine biodegraded slowly in samples of sewage and two lake waters(6). The fastest degradation of N-nitrosodiethanolamine in a lake water sample was in one taken in August; an initia Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), N-nitrosodiethanolamine, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 5.0X10-4 mm Hg at 20 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase N-nitrosodiethanolamine is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 13 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 3X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). N-Nitrosodiethanolamine has a UV absorption max at 345 nm(4) which indicates that N-Nitrosodiethanolamine may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).
