Emergency First Aid Measures
Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies
π« Inhalation Exposure
Terminate the exposure immediately; move the affected person to fresh air. Take care of your own safety, do not let the affected person walk! Beware of the contaminated clothes. Depending on the situation, call the medical rescue service and ensure medical treatment considering the frequent need of further observation for at least 24 hours.
Symptoms:
May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled.
ποΈ Skin Contact
Remove contaminated clothes. Take off any rings, watches, bracelets before or during washing if worn in the contaminated areas of the skin. Rinse contaminated areas with a flow of water, lukewarm at best, for 10-30 minutes; do not use any brush, soap or neutralizers. Depending on the situation, call the medical rescue service and always ensure medical treatment.
Symptoms:
May cause an allergic skin reaction.
ποΈ Eye Contact
Rinse eyes immediately with a flow of running water, open the eyelids (also using force if needed); remove contact lenses immediately if worn by the affected person. No neutralization should be performed in any case! Rinsing should be continued for 10-30 minutes from the inner to the outer eye corner to make sure that the other eye is not involved. Depending on the situation, call medical rescue service or ensure medical treatment as promptly as possible. Everyone must be referred for treatment even if affected only a little.
Symptoms:
Not expected.
π½οΈ Ingestion/Swallowing
Vomiting should be induced in the person only if conscious, within 1 hour from ingestion. If in doubt whether vomiting should be induced, contact the Toxicological Information Centre and give information about the substances or composition of the product as provided on the original packaging or in the safety data sheet of the product. FOLLOWING INGESTION OF TOXIC OR HIGHLY TOXIC SUBSTANCES, GIVE 10-20 CRUSHED TABLETS OF ACTIVATED CARBON, MIXED IN WATER, WITHIN NO LATER THAN 5 MINUTES - irrespective of whether vomiting could be induced. Call medical rescue service.
Symptoms:
Irritation, nausea.
π¨ Immediate Medical Attention Required
