First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim to fresh air. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Symptoms: Dry/sore throat. Coughing. Slight irritation. Exposure to high concentrations: Irritation of the respiratory tract. Irritation of the nasal mucous membranes. Respiratory difficulties.
Rinse with water. Soap may be used. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Symptoms: Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Symptoms: Inflammation/damage of the eye tissue. Corrosion of the eye tissue. Lacrimation.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything to an unconscious victim. If symptoms occur, get medical attention.
Symptoms: Nausea. Vomiting. Abdominal pain. Irritation of the gastric/intestinal mucosa.
Immediate Medical Attention
Depending on the victim’s condition: transfer to doctor/hospital. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use air conveying/mechanical systems for bulk transfer to storage. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment if release of airborne dust is expected.
Store in original container. Keep in properly labeled containers. Keep container tightly closed.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
