fresh air. Immediately call in physician. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary also oxygen.

Symptoms: Cough, Shortness of breath, respiratory arrest, Dizziness, narcosis, agitation, spasms, inebriation, Headache, ataxia (impaired locomotor coordination)

Skin contact

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower. Consult a physician.

Symptoms: Drying-out effect resulting in rough and chapped skin.

Eye contact

rinse out with plenty of water. Call in ophthalmologist.

Symptoms: irritant effects

Ingestion

caution if victim vomits. Risk of aspiration! Keep respiratory tract clear. Pulmonary failure possible after aspiration of vomit. Call a physician immediately. Subsequently administer: activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in 10% slurry).

Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Stomach/intestinal disorders

Immediate Medical Attention

Immediately call in physician. Call in ophthalmologist.

Medical Treatment

activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in 10% slurry). Laxative: Sodium sulfate (1 tablespoon/1/4 l water).
