Dimethylaniline is a chemical compound consisting of a ring of six carbonatoms, with three double bonds each equally spaced with a single bond between them. On one of the carbon atoms is a single bond to a nitrogen atom, which in turn has two methyl groups attached.
Dimethylaniline is an oily, yellow- to brown-colored liquid with a characteristic amine-like odor.
Effects on Animals: The absorption of dimethylaniline, either by inhalation of the vapor or by absorption of the liquid through the skin, causes hypoxia or anoxia due to the formation of methemoglobin in the blood.
Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to dimethylaniline, a licensed health care professional should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks.
