First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Symptoms: Coughing may result from inhalation.
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Symptoms: It may cause irritation of the skin. Skin contact may cause discoloration of sensitive skin.
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Symptoms: Eye contact may cause redness and pain.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Symptoms: Ingestion may cause gastric irritation.
Immediate Medical Attention
Consult a doctor immediately (inhalation), Consult a doctor (skin/eye), Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately (ingestion).
Medical Treatment
Six patients with severe mannitol intoxication were treated with hemodialysis & one with peritoneal dialysis. Ideal treatment is hemodialysis which rapidly removes mannitol (half-life, 6 hr) & replaces it with sodium; peritoneal dialysis removed mannitol slowly (half-life, 21 hr).
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. A water spray may also be used.
This chemical is probably combustible.
Firefighter Protection
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
