First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove person to fresh air. If breathing stops, immediately apply artificial respiration. If breathing difficulties occur, use emergency breathing apparatus. If the symptoms persist, immediately consult a physician.
Symptoms: Depending on concentration and exposure time, irritation of the mucous membrane of the nose/throat may occur (burning sensation, urge to sneeze, and runny nose). Very high concentration may cause difficult breathing, shortness of breath, coughing fits, chest tightness, headache, vertigo, and narcosis.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Immediately wash with plenty of water and soap for at least 20 minutes. Seek medical assistance if the symptoms of irritation remain.
Symptoms: Depending on concentration and exposure time, it may lead to redness, rough and cracked skin.
Rinse out with plenty of water with the eyelid held wide open for at least 15 minutes. If the symptoms remain, immediately call in ophthalmologist.
Symptoms: Depending on concentration and exposure time, mucosa stinging, lacrimation, redness and pain may occur, as well as bleeding, delayed onset of inflammations and permanent eyesight damage.
If the afflicted person is vomiting, there may be risk of aspiration. Keep the airways open. Respiratory failure my occur immediately after aspiration of vomited content. Immediately consult a physician and show the container or label. In case of swallowing large quantities, transport the afflicted person to the hospital.
Symptoms: Depending on concentration and exposure time, it may lead to stinging and digestive mucus damage, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, headache.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediately consult a physician and show the container or label. In case of swallowing large quantities, transport the afflicted person to the hospital.
