First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Supply fresh air and to be sure call for a doctor. In case of unconsciousness place patient stably in side position for transportation.

Symptoms: Irritation of respiratory tract; at higher concentrations: effects on nervous system, headache, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, up to narcosis.

Skin contact

Immediately flush affected area with plenty of water. Immediately remove any clothing soiled by the product.

Symptoms: irritation, swelling or redness

Eye contact

Irrigate eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 min, holding eyelids apart to ensure thorough rinsing. Call a doctor immediately.

Symptoms: Conjunctival irritation; corneal ulcerations may occur.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomit. Wash the mouth with clean water. Call a doctor and/or carry immediately to first aid.

Immediate Medical Attention

Call a doctor immediately (for eye contact). Consult a doctor (for skin irritation, swelling or redness). Call a doctor and/or carry immediately to first aid (for swallowing).
