First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
fresh air.
Skin exposures can be treated with a 2.5% calcium gluconate gel repeated until burning ceases. First treatment with calcium gluconate paste. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower.
rinse out with plenty of water. Remove contact lenses.
Prevention of absorption of the fluoride ion in cases of ingestion can be obtained by giving milk, chewable calcium carbonate tablets or Milk of Magnesia to conscious victims. give water to drink (two glasses at most). 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
Hydrofluoric (HF) acid burns require immediate and specialized first aid and medical treatment. Call in ophthalmologist. Seek medical advice immediately. consult a doctor as quickly as possible.
Medical Treatment
Treatment should be directed toward binding the fluoride ion as well as the effects of exposure. More serious skin exposures may require subcutaneous calcium gluconate except for digital areas unless the physician is experienced in this technique, due to the potential for tissue injury from increased pressure.
Firefighting Measures
