First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove the victim into fresh air. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: Dry/sore throat. Coughing. ON CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE/CONTACT: Corrosion of the upper respiratory tract. FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS MAY APPEAR LATER: Possible laryngeal spasm/oedema. Risk of pneumonia. Risk of lung oedema. Respiratory difficulties.
Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice. Remove clothing while washing. Do not remove clothing if it sticks to the skin. Cover wounds with sterile bandage. Consult a doctor/medical service. If burned surface > 10%: take victim to hospital.
Symptoms: Caustic burns/corrosion of the skin.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice.
Symptoms: Corrosion of the eye tissue. Permanent eye damage.
Rinse mouth with water. Immediately after ingestion: give lots of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice. Immediately consult a doctor/medical service. Call Poison Information Centre (www.big.be/antigif.html). Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital. Take the container/vomit to the doctor/hospital.
Symptoms: Nausea. Abdominal pain. Blood in stool. Blood in vomit. Burns to the gastric/intestinal mucosa. AFTER INGESTION OF HIGH QUANTITIES: Shock.
Immediate Medical Attention
Depending on the victim's condition: doctor/hospital. If burned surface > 10%: take victim to hospital. Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital. Immediately consult a doctor/medical service.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Quick-acting ABC powder extinguisher. Quick-acting BC powder extinguisher. Quick-acting CO2 extinguisher. Class B foam (alcohol-resistant); after consulting specialist.
Water (quick-acting extinguisher, reel); risk of puddle expansion. Quick-acting class B foam extinguisher. Water.
DIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Non combustible. INDIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Reactions involving a fire hazard: see "Reactivity Hazard". INDIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD: Reactions with explosion hazards: see "Reactivity Hazard".
Cool tanks/drums with water spray/remove them into safety. When cooling/extinguishing: no water in the substance. Dilute toxic gases with water spray. Take account of toxic/corrosive precipitation water.
Firefighter Protection
Heat/fire exposure: self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 136 + EN 137).
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Mark the danger area. No naked flames. Keep containers closed. Avoid ingress of water in the containers. Wash contaminated clothes. Large spills/in confined spaces: consider evacuation. In case of hazardous reactions: keep upwind. In case of reactivity hazard: consider evacuation. On contact with moisture/water: keep upwind. On contact with moisture/water: consider evacuation.
Large spills/in confined spaces: consider evacuation.
Prevent soil and water pollution. Prevent spreading in sewers.
Liquid spill: neutralize with lime sodium bicarbonate soda (sodium carbonate) or soda ash. Neutralized substance: shovel into closing drums. Carefully collect the spill/leftovers. Damaged/cooled tanks must be emptied. Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water. Take collected spill to manufacturer/competent authority. Wash clothing and equipment after handling.
Materials: lime, sodium bicarbonate, soda (sodium carbonate), or soda ash
