First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove the victim into fresh air. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: Central nervous system depression. Dizziness. Feeling of weakness. Headache. Nausea. Narcosis. Drunkenness. EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS: Irritation of the respiratory tract. Irritation of the nasal mucous membranes. Coordination disorders. Disturbances of consciousness. Disturbances of heart rate. Possible laryngeal spasm/oedema. Risk of lung oedema. Respiratory difficulties. Decreased renal function.
Rinse with water. Soap may be used. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice. Take victim to a doctor if irritation persists.
Symptoms: ON CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE/CONTACT: Blisters.
Rinse with water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice.
Symptoms: EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS: Visual disturbances.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice. Call Poison Information Centre (www.big.be/antigif.html). Consult a doctor/medical service if you feel unwell. Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital.
Symptoms: Risk of aspiration pneumonia. Vomiting. Nausea. AFTER INGESTION OF HIGH QUANTITIES: Central nervous system depression. Symptoms similar to those listed under inhalation.
Immediate Medical Attention
Depending on the victim's condition: doctor/hospital. Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Adapt extinguishing media to the environment for surrounding fires.
DIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Non combustible. INDIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD: Reactions with explosion hazards: see "Reactivity Hazard".
Cool tanks/drums with water spray/remove them into safety. Dilute toxic gases with water spray. Take account of toxic/corrosive precipitation water. Take account of environmentally hazardous firefighting water. Use water moderately and if possible collect or contain it.
Firefighter Protection
Heat/fire exposure: self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 136 + EN 137).
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Keep upwind. Mark the danger area. Seal off low-lying areas. Close doors and windows of adjacent premises. No naked flames. Keep containers closed. Wash contaminated clothes. Large spills/in confined spaces: consider evacuation. In case of reactivity hazard: consider evacuation.
Large spills/in confined spaces: consider evacuation.
Prevent soil and water pollution. Prevent spreading in sewers.
Take up liquid spill into absorbent material, e.g.: kieselguhr, powdered limestone or dry sand/earth. Scoop absorbed substance into closing containers. Carefully collect the spill/leftovers. Damaged/cooled tanks must be emptied. Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water. Take collected spill to manufacturer/competent authority. Wash clothing and equipment after handling.
Materials: kieselguhr, powdered limestone or dry sand/earth
