Emergency First Aid Measures

Critical first aid procedures for chemical exposure incidents and medical emergencies

๐Ÿซ Inhalation Exposure

Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Get medical attention.

Symptoms:

Difficulty in breathing. Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. Aspiration into lungs can produce severe lung damage.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ Skin Contact

Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Eye Contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Ingestion/Swallowing

Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward.

๐Ÿšจ Immediate Medical Attention Required

Get medical attention for eye, skin, and inhalation exposure. Call a physician or poison control center immediately for ingestion.

Medical Treatment

Treat symptomatically.
