First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Call a physician immediately. Assure fresh air breathing. If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. Allow the victim to rest. If breathing stops, perform cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is forbidden (possible poisoning of first-aider). Place the victim in the recovery position. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Symptoms: Burns of respiratory tract. Death in extreme cases.
Obtain medical attention. Wash off immediately and plentifully with water for at least 20 - 30 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician.
Symptoms: Causes burns. May cause severe irreversible damage.
Wash immediately with plenty water (during 20 - 30 minutes), also under eyelids. Seek medical attention immediately.
Symptoms: Causes serious eye damage. Can cause blindness.
Seek medical attention immediately. If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Do not induce vomiting. Give nothing to drink.
Symptoms: Abdominal pain. Nausea. May cause burns or irritation of the linings of the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract. Death in extreme cases.
Immediate Medical Attention
Call a physician immediately (for inhalation). Obtain medical attention (for skin contact). Seek medical attention immediately (for eye contact and ingestion). Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician.
