Symptoms: AFTER INGESTION OF HIGH QUANTITIES: Cramps/uncontrolled muscular contractions. Nausea. Abdominal pain.

Immediate Medical Attention

Depending on the victim's condition: doctor/hospital. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service. Take victim to a doctor if irritation persists. Take victim to an ophthalmologist if irritation persists. Consult a doctor/medical service if you feel unwell.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Small fire: Quick-acting ABC powder extinguisher, Quick-acting BC powder extinguisher, Quick-acting class B foam extinguisher, Quick-acting CO2 extinguisher. Major fire: Class B foam (alcohol-resistant), Water spray if puddle cannot expand.

Unsuitable media

Small fire: Water (quick-acting extinguisher, reel); risk of puddle expansion. Major fire: Water; risk of puddle expansion.

Specific hazards

Upon combustion: CO and CO2 are formed.

Instructions

Cool tanks/drums with water spray/remove them into safety.

Firefighter Protection

Gloves. Protective clothing. Heat/fire exposure: compressed air/oxygen apparatus.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Environmental

Contain released product, pump into suitable containers. Plug the leak, cut off the supply.

Cleanup methods
