Formula: C11H13N·HCl
Concentration: 100% active material
Impurities: Not expected under normal usage; minor organic salts possible in trace amounts

4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air; keep at rest in a position that makes breathing easy; seek medical attention if symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing; wash skin with soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; get medical advice if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present, continue rinsing, and seek medical attention
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, never induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel, seek immediate medical help
Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, headache, drowsiness, eye redness, skin irritation

5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Special Hazards: May release hazardous fumes such as nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide in case of fire
Precautions for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Specific Methods: Cool exposed containers with water spray to prevent rupture; evacuate area if fire occurs; contain run-off fire water to prevent environmental contamination

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and laboratory coat; avoid breathing dust or vapor; provide adequate ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, drains, or soil; contain spill to prevent spread by covering with inert material
Methods for Cleanup: Sweep up and place in suitable closed container for disposal; wash contaminated surfaces with soap and water; ventilate area and dispose of wastes according to local regulations

7. Handling and Storage

Handling: Keep container tightly closed; minimize dust generation and accumulation; use only in well-ventilated areas; avoid all unnecessary exposure
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place; keep away from incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents and strong acids; keep away from light and out of reach of unauthorized personnel; store in original packaging or sealed, clearly labeled containers

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established for this compound; avoid chronic exposure
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation; utilize laboratory fume hood
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene preferred), lab coat or apron, respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling; remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse
