First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove the victim into fresh air. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: AFTER INHALATION OF DUST: Coughing.
Rinse with water. Soap may be used. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents. Take victim to a doctor if irritation persists.
Symptoms: Slight irritation.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Take victim to an ophthalmologist. Do not apply neutralizing agents.
Symptoms: Corrosion of the eye tissue. Visual disturbances. Inflammation/damage of the eye tissue.
Rinse mouth with water. Immediately after ingestion: give lots of water to drink. Call Poison Information Centre (www.big.be/antigif.htm). Consult a doctor/medical service if you feel unwell. Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital.
Symptoms: AFTER ABSORPTION OF LARGE QUANTITIES: Gastrointestinal complaints. Nausea. Vomiting. Abdominal pain. Blood in stool. Decreased renal function. Change in the blood composition. Weakening of the immune system.
