SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1. Description of first aid measures

General Advice If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Eye Contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get
medical attention.

Skin Contact Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If skin irritation persists,
call a physician.

Ingestion Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Call
a physician or poison control center immediately. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim
lean forward.

Inhalation Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention if
symptoms occur. Risk of serious damage to the lungs (by aspiration).

Self-Protection of the First Aider Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to
protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination.
