First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Fresh air and rest. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Symptoms: Coughing, sore throat, irritation of mucous membranes.

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Symptoms: Dust may irritate the skin in a mechanical way.

Eye contact

Immediately flush with plenty of water for up to 15 minutes. Remove any contact lenses and open eyes wide apart. By prolonged rinsing, use lukewarm water to avoid damage to the eye. Contact physician if discomfort continues.

Symptoms: Reddening, burning sensation and heavy watering of the eyes.

Ingestion

Immediately rinse mouth and drink plenty of water (200-300 ml). Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.

Symptoms: Ingestion may cause discomfort. May cause constipation and flatulence.
