First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a poison center or a doctor.
Symptoms: Cough. Shortness of breath. Irritating to the respiratory system and mucous membranes.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: Irritation.
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Call a physician immediately.
Symptoms: Serious damage to eyes.
Rinse mouth. Drink plenty of water. Get immediate medical advice/attention. Do not induce vomiting. Vomiting: prevent asphyxia/aspiration pneumonia. Do not give an unconscious person anything to drink. If unconscious, place in the recovery position and seek medical advice.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a poison center or a doctor if you feel unwell. If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a poison center or a doctor. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
