Section 4. First-Aid Measures

Excerpt from ERG Guide 112 [Explosives - Division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.5]:

Refer to the "General First Aid" section. (ERG, 2024)

Section 5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Excerpt from ERG Guide 112 [Explosives - Division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.5]:

CARGO FIRE: DO NOT fight fire when fire reaches cargo! Cargo may EXPLODE! Stop all traffic and clear the area for at least 1600 meters (1 mile) in all directions and let burn. Do not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat.

TIRE OR VEHICLE FIRE: Use plenty of water - FLOOD it! If water is not available, use CO2, dry chemical or dirt. If possible, and WITHOUT RISK, use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles from maximum distance to prevent fire from spreading to cargo area. Pay special attention to tire fires as re-ignition may occur. Stand by, at a safe distance, with extinguisher ready for possible re-ignition. (ERG, 2024)

If material on fire or involved in fire: Dangerously explosive. Do not fight fires in a cargo of explosives. Evacuate area and let burn.

Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires involving this material.

Evacuation: If the material is on fire or involved in fire consider evacuation of one (1) mile radius.

The primary hazard is from blast effect where the entire load can explode instantaneously and not from flying projectiles and fragments.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures

Excerpt from ERG Guide 112 [Explosives - Division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.5]:

IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE: Isolate spill or leak area immediately for at least 500 meters (1/3 mile) in all directions.

LARGE SPILL: Consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions.

FIRE: If rail car or trailer is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 1600 meters (1 mile) in all directions; also, initiate evacuation including emergency responders for 1600 meters (1 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2024)

SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

If material not on fire and not involved in fire: Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Keep material wet. Wet spilled material before picking it up. Do not attempt to sweep up dry material.

Personnel protection: Avoid breathing dusts, and fumes from burning material ... Do not handle broken packages unless wearing appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash away any material which may have contacted the body with copious amounts of water or soap and water.

Section 7. Handling and Storage

Excerpt from ERG Guide 112 [Explosives - Division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.5]:

ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. DO NOT OPERATE RADIO TRANSMITTERS WITHIN 100 METERS (330 FEET) OF ELECTRIC DETONATORS. DO NOT CLEAN-UP OR DISPOSE OF, EXCEPT UNDER SUPERVISION OF A SPECIALIST. (ERG, 2024)

Section 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Excerpt from ERG Guide 112 [Explosives - Division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.5]:

Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides thermal protection but only limited chemical protection. (ERG, 2024)

Wear appropriate chemical protective gloves and goggles.

Explosive

DIPICRYLAMINE is an oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. May explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents. The explosive tendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by the presence of multiple nitro groups.

/SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Organic bases/Amines and related compounds/

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Aqueous samples containing various explosives, their reduced metabolites, as well as related compounds were subjected to the luminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri NRRLB-11177 to determine their ecotoxicological potential. As the most important parameter, the EC50 values of 24 test compounds were calculated. ... HEXYL must be classified in the category "very toxic to aquatic organisms"...

2,2',4,4',6,6'-Hexanitrodiphenylamine's production and former use as a booster explosive may have resulted in its release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to air, an estimated vapor pressure of 6.3X10-14 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexanitrodiphenylamine will exist solely in the particulate phase in the atmosphere. Particulate-phase 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexanitrodiphenylamine will be removed from the atmosphere by wet or dry deposition. 2,2',4,4',6,6'-Hexanitrodiphenylamine does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. If released to soil, 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexanitrodiphenylamine is expected to have no mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 1.1X10+6. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.3X10-17 atm-cu m/mole. Biodegradation data were not available. If released into water, 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexanitrodiphenylamine is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the estimated Koc. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant. An estimated BCF of 76 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate. Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions. Occupational exposure to 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexanitrodiphenylamine may have occurred through dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexanitrodiphenylamine was produced or used. Limited monitoring data indicate that the general population may have been exposed to 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexanitrodiphenylamine via ingestion of drinking water. Occupational exposure and general population exposure should be low or non-existent since 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexanitrodiphenylamine is no longer produced or used in the US. (SRC)
