First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
Thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. Do not rub affected area. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: Contact with the liquid may cause cold burns/frostbite.
Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: Direct contact with the liquefied gas may cause severe and possibly permanent eye injury due to frostbite from rapid liquid evaporation.
Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth out with water. Get medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: Due to its physical form, exposure to this chemical is not likely.
Immediate Medical Attention
