First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove the victim into fresh air. Doctor: administration of corticoid spray. Immediately consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: Dry/sore throat. Coughing. Nausea. Respiratory difficulties. FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS MAY APPEAR LATER: Affection of the nasal septum. Risk of lung oedema. Respiratory collapse.
Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice. Remove clothing while washing. Do not remove clothing if it sticks to the skin. Cover wounds with sterile bandage. Consult a doctor/medical service. If burned surface > 10%: take victim to hospital.
Symptoms: Caustic burns/corrosion of the skin.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice.
Symptoms: Corrosion of the eye tissue.
Rinse mouth with water. Immediately after ingestion: give lots of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice. Immediately consult a doctor/medical service. Call Poison Information Centre (www.big.be/antigif.html). Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital. Take the container/vomit to the doctor/hospital.
Symptoms: Nausea. Abdominal pain. Risk of aspiration pneumonia. Change in the haemogramme/blood composition. Burns to the gastric/intestinal mucosa. Possible esophageal perforation. Blood in vomit. Bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract. Blood in stool. Shock. Low arterial pressure. Disturbances of consciousness. Decreased renal function.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediately consult a doctor/medical service (for inhalation, eye, and ingestion). If burned surface > 10%: take victim to hospital (for skin contact). Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital.
Medical Treatment
Administration of corticoid spray (for inhalation).
