First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

fresh air. If necessary, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or mechanical ventilation. Keep airways free.

Skin contact

wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing.

Eye contact

rinse out with plenty of water with the eyelid held wide open. Call in ophthalmologist.

Ingestion

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).
