First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove victim into fresh air. In case of respiratory problems, consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS: Dry/sore throat. Coughing.
If possible, wipe up/dry remove chemical. Then rinse/shower immediately with (lukewarm) water. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents without medical advice.
Symptoms: No effects known.
Rinse immediately with (lukewarm) water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If irritation persists, consult a doctor/medical service.
Symptoms: Redness of the eye tissue.
Rinse mouth with water. If you feel unwell, consult a doctor/medical service. Do not wait for symptoms to occur to consult Poison Center.
Symptoms: AFTER INGESTION OF HIGH QUANTITIES: Central nervous system depression. Dizziness. Headache. Vomiting. Nausea.
Immediate Medical Attention
If you feel unwell, consult a doctor/medical service. Do not wait for symptoms to occur to consult Poison Center.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Quick-acting ABC powder extinguisher. Quick-acting BC powder extinguisher. Quick-acting class B foam extinguisher. Quick-acting CO2 extinguisher. Class B foam (alcohol-resistant). Water spray if puddle cannot expand.
Water (quick-acting extinguisher, reel); risk of puddle expansion. Water; risk of puddle expansion.
DIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Combustible. INDIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Temperature above flashpoint: higher fire/explosion hazard.
Exposure to fire/heat: keep upwind. Exposure to fire/heat: seal off low-lying areas. Exposure to fire/heat: have neighbourhood close doors and windows.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Mark the danger area. No naked flames. Wash contaminated clothes.
Take up liquid spill into absorbent material, e.g.: sand, earth, vermiculite or powdered limestone. Take up liquid spill into inert absorbent material. Scoop absorbed substance into closing containers. Wash down leftovers with plenty of water. Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water. Wash clothing and equipment after handling.
Materials: sand, earth, vermiculite or powdered limestone, inert absorbent material
