๐ซ Inhalation Exposure
Loosen clothing as necessary and position individual in a comfortable position.Move exposed to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if necessary. If breathing is difficult give oxygen.Get medical assistance if cough or other symptoms appear.
Symptoms:
Cough
๐๏ธ Skin Contact
Rinse/flush exposed skin gently using soap and water for 15-20 minutes.Seek medical advice if discomfort or irritation persists.
Symptoms:
Discomfort, irritation
๐๏ธ Eye Contact
Protect unexposed eye.Rinse/flush exposed eye(s) gently using water for 15-20 minutes.Remove contact lens(es) if able to do so during rinsing.Seek medical attention if irritation persists or if concerned.
Symptoms:
Irritation
๐ฝ๏ธ Ingestion/Swallowing

Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
๐ญ Engineering Controls
Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of use or handling. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor and mists below the applicable workplace exposure limits (Occupational Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated above.
๐งค Hand Protection
Select glove material impermeable and resistant to the substance.Select glove material based on rates of diffusion and degradation. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.Use proper glove removal technique without touching outer surface. Avoid skin contact with used gloves.
๐๏ธ Eye Protection
Wear equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).Safety glasses or goggles are appropriate eye protection.
๐ท Respiratory Protection
Not required under normal conditions of use. Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls.When necessary use NIOSH approved breathing equipment.
๐ฆบ Skin/Body Protection
Wear protective clothing.
