First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention.
Symptoms: The vapor is irritating to nose and throat. Inhalation of high concentrations can cause CNS disturbance, dizziness, headache, stupor, coma and death. Not normally a problem at ambient temperature.
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water removing all contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. If skin irritiation persists, call a physician.
Symptoms: Skin contact causes local defatting of the skin which will cause irritation and chaffing. Repeated contact causes defatting of the skin with resultant irritation and flaking.
Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention
Symptoms: May be irritating.
Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Obtain medical attention.
Symptoms: Although the acute toxicity of xylene is low, ingestion can causes extreme irritation to GI tract. May cause mild to severe pulmonary injury if small amounts are aspirated into the respiratory tract.
