First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove the victim into fresh air.

Symptoms: Coughing. ON HEATING: Irritation of the respiratory tract. Irritation of the nasal mucous membranes.

Skin contact

Rinse with water. Soap may be used.

Eye contact

Rinse with water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.

Symptoms: Slight irritation.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth with water. Immediately after ingestion: give lots of water to drink.

Symptoms: Nausea. Vomiting. Diarrhoea. AFTER INGESTION OF HIGH QUANTITIES: Headache. Dehydration. Disturbances of heart rate. Change in the haemogramme/blood composition. Decreased renal function.

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. Call Poison Information Centre (www.who.int/ipcs/poisons/centre/directory/en). Consult a doctor/medical service if you feel unwell. Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

AFFF foam. BC powder. Carbon dioxide. Dry sand. Dry chemical powder. Adapt extinguishing media to the environment.

Unsuitable media

Specific hazards

DIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Combustible. INDIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Temperature above flashpoint: higher fire/explosion hazard. No direct explosion hazard.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Mark the danger area. Exposure to heat: have neighbourhood close doors and windows. Exposure to fire/heat: consider evacuation. Wash contaminated clothes.

Environmental
