First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Take out the exposed person to the fresh air.
Wash skin with warm water and soap.
Wash out the eye with plenty of clean water 15 min., seek for medical care.
Drink ca. 2 dcl lukewarm water, do not induce vomiting and seek for medical care.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek for medical care (for eye contact and ingestion).

Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Extinguishing media to be selected upon surrounding fire.
Flammable materials and extinguishing media which cannot be used for surrounding fire.
When AdBlue is stored in the GreenChem system tank and the system is in danger of fire or extreme heat, pressure will rise and the vessel may burst.
In case of fire, immediately isolate the area by evacuating all personnel from the incident vicinity. Do not take any actions that could pose personal risk or for which you are not trained. Always proceed in accordance with directions given in valid emergency plans.
Firefighter Protection
Irritating substances may be released in thermal combustion, thus a self-contained breathing apparatus is necessary.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment during handling with the product (see Section 8). Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Prevent release to water resources, sewerage and soil. The product is not classified as hazardous for environment.
In case of spilling, rinse the area with plenty of water. Dispose of the remains in a controlled way by flushing them into wastewaters brought to a sewage treatment plant.
