First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Supply fresh air. In case of breathing difficulties or respiratory arrest, initiate artificial respiration. Call a doctor immediately.
Symptoms: Breathing difficulty, danger of pneumonia, danger of pulmonary oedema, danger of impaired breathing.
Flush contaminated skin with soap and plenty of water. After prolonged contact or any signs of skin changes (redness or other signs of inflammation) seek medical attention.
Symptoms: Redness or other signs of inflammation.
Rinse out opened eye for several minutes under running water. Remove any contact lenses if possible. Continue rinsing.
Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Make victim drink water (two glasses at most). In case of vomiting, observe the risk of aspiration. Call a doctor immediately.
Symptoms: Gastric or intestinal disorders.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a doctor immediately (after inhalation, after swallowing). Seek medical attention after prolonged skin contact or any signs of skin changes. If necessary, oxygen respiration treatment. Monitor circulation. Later observation for pneumonia and pulmonary oedema.
