Emergency First Aid Measures

Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies

๐Ÿซ Inhalation Exposure

Remove to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Symptoms:

In case of higher concentrations: narcosis, asphyxia, may cause cardic arrhythmia.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ Skin Contact

Allow to evaporate. Wash off with warm water. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Symptoms:

Contact with liquid or refrigerated gas can cause cold burns and frostbite. Prolonged skin contact may defat the skin and produce dermatitis.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Eye Contact

Immediately irrigate with eyewash solution or clean water, holding the eyelids apart for at least 10 minutes. Obtain immediate medical attention.

Symptoms:

Causes frostbite burns to eyes. Symptoms: Lachrymation, redness, swelling of tissue, frostbite, burn.

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Ingestion/Swallowing

Unlikely route of exposure.

Symptoms:

Gas. Not applicable.

๐Ÿšจ Immediate Medical Attention Required

Obtain immediate medical attention for eye contact. If symptoms persist after inhalation or skin contact, call a physician.
