First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Remove the victim into fresh air.

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

Skin contact

Wash immediately with lots of water (15 minutes)/shower. Soap may be used.

Symptoms: Tingling/irritation of the skin.

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Take victim to an ophthalmologist.

Symptoms: Irritation of the eye tissue.

Ingestion

Rinse mouth with water. Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital. Call Poison Information Centre (www.who.int/ipcs/poisons/centre/directory/en).

Immediate Medical Attention

Depending on the victim's condition: doctor/hospital. Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital. Take victim to an ophthalmologist.

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

Solid water jet ineffective as extinguishing medium.

Specific hazards

DIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Combustible. In finely divided state: increased fire hazard. INDIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Temperature above flashpoint: higher fire/explosion hazard. DIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD: Fine dust is explosive with air. INDIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD: Dust cloud can be ignited by a spark.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Mark the danger area. Prevent dust cloud formation, e.g. by wetting. No naked flames. Exposure to fire/heat: keep upwind. Exposure to heat: have neighbourhood close doors and windows. In case of dust production: keep upwind. Dust production: have neighbourhood close doors and windows. In case of dust production: stop engines and no smoking. In case of dust production: no naked flames or sparks. Dust: spark-/explosionproof appliances/lighting equipment. Wash contaminated clothes.

Environmental

Prevent soil and water pollution.

Cleanup methods

Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water and soap solution. Take up liquid spill into inert absorbent material.

Materials: dry sand/earth/vermiculite or powdered limestone
