N,N‐Dimethylethylamin

The German Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area has evaluated a momentary value of N,N‐dimethylethylamine [598‐56‐1]. Critical effects are vision disturbances and irritation of the eyes and the respiratory tract in exposed workers and volunteers. In a study in a foundry, these effects were caused by peak exposures of about 10 ml/m3. By analogy with cyclohexylamine, a momentary value of 5 ml/m3 which must not be exceeded at any time is also established for N,N‐dimethylethylamine.
