Inhalation

Remove victim to uncontaminated area wearing self contained breathing apparatus. Keep victim warm and tested. Call a doctor. Apply artificial respiration if breathing stopped.

Symptoms: Toxic by inhalation.

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothing. Drench affected area with water for at least 15 minutes.

Symptoms: May cause chemical burns to skin

Eye contact

Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.

Symptoms: cornea (with temporary disturbance to vision)

Ingestion

Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.

Immediate Medical Attention

Obtain medical assistance.

05

Firefighting Measures
