First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove victim to fresh air. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service.

Symptoms: Irritation of the respiratory tract. Irritation of the nasal mucous membranes.

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes.

Symptoms: Tingling/irritation of the skin.

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Consult an ophthalmologist if irritation persists. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents.

Symptoms: Irritation of the eye tissue.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth out with water. Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital. Call a poison center (www.who.int/ipcs/poisons/centre/directory/en).

Immediate Medical Attention

Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service. Consult an ophthalmologist if irritation persists.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

AFFF foam. BC-powder. Carbon dioxide. Dry sand. Dry chemical powder. Use the extinguishing media recommended for the burning materials and fire situation.

Unsuitable media

Do not use water jet.

Specific hazards

DIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Combustible. In finely divided state: increased fire hazard. INDIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Temperature above flashpoint: higher fire/explosion hazard.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Mark the danger area. Exposure to fire/heat: keep upwind. Exposure to fire/heat: have neighbourhood close doors and windows. In case of dust production: keep upwind. Dust production: have neighbourhood close doors and windows.

Environmental

Prevent soil and water pollution.

Cleanup methods

Clean contaminated surfaces with a soap solution. Flush/dilute with water.

Materials: sand, earth, vermiculite or powdered limestone
