First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
Symptoms: irritated skin
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical attention if irritation occurs (eyes); Get medical attention if irritation develops (skin); Get medical attention (inhalation); Call a physician immediately (large ingestion).
