First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.

Ingestion

Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

Symptoms: Ingestion causes severe swelling, severe damage to the delicate tissue and danger of perforation

Immediate Medical Attention

Immediate medical attention is required.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically
