First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. Immediately call in physician. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary also oxygen.

Skin contact

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower. Consult a physician.

Eye contact

Rinse out with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses. Call in ophthalmologist.

Ingestion

Give water to drink (two glasses at most). Seek medical advice immediately. In exceptional cases only, if medical care is not available within one hour, induce vomiting (only in persons who are wide awake and fully conscious), administer activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in a 10% slurry) and consult a doctor as quickly as possible.

Immediate Medical Attention

Immediately call in physician. Consult a physician. Call in ophthalmologist. Seek medical advice immediately.
