First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
fresh air. If necessary, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or mechanical ventilation. Keep airways free.
wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.
rinse out with plenty of water with the eyelid held wide open. Call in ophthalmologist.
make victim drink plenty of water. Induce vomiting. Laxative: sodium sulfate (1 tablespoon 1/4 l water), paraffin oil (3 mg/kg). Administer activated charcoal (20-40g in 10% slurry). Do not give alcohol. Call in physician.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call in ophthalmologist (after eye contact). Call in physician (after swallowing).
