First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Provide for adequate fresh air. If breathing becomes irregular or ceases, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or artificial respiration immediately, where required supply oxygen. Immediately get medical attention.
Symptoms: Mucous membrane irritation, cough, shortage of breath, damage of respiratory tract.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Immediately get medical attention. In case of contact with the skin, immediately wash with polyethylene glycol. Then wash with water.
Symptoms: Strong skin absorption as main danger of phenol poisoning at the workplace with paralysis of the central nervous system (with lethal consequences in severe cases) as well as liver and kidney damage
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart. Subsequently seek the immediate attention of an ophthalmologist.
Symptoms: burns
Rinse mouth immediately and drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. Immediately get medical attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediately get medical attention (for inhalation, skin, ingestion). Subsequently seek the immediate attention of an ophthalmologist (for eye contact).
Medical Treatment
Thoroughly clean the wetted skin areas, if possible with polyethylene glycol (e.g. polyethylene glycol 300). In case of eye contact, rinse copiously with water, in case of burns rinse continuously with water as far as possible and take to an eye specialist or eye clinic. In case of inhalation, to prevent pulmonal oedemia, initiate inhalative cortisone therapy as early as possible (e.g. every 10 minutes 5 strokes of a cortisone containing aerosol dosing spray); administer codeine against dry coughing. In case of commencing or manifested pulmonary oedemia, systemic administration of cortisone. If swallowed, gastric lavage after intubation, activated charcoal, saline laxative.
