First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Immediate medical attention is required. If breathing stops, immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary also oxygen. Call a physician immediately.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with soap and water or shower. Call a physician immediately.
Wash with plenty of water.
If swallowed: give water to drink (two glasses at most). Seek medical advice immediately. In exceptional cases only, if medical care is not available within one hour, induce vomiting (only in persons who are wide awake and fully conscious), administer activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in a 10% slurry) and consult a doctor as quickly as possible.
Immediate Medical Attention
Immediate medical attention is required.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
