First-aid measures

INHALATION: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If patient has difficulty in breathing, administer oxygen, keep him calm and protect him from loss of warmth. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Get medical attention immediately. Medical surveillance for at least 48 hours.

INGESTION: Get medical attention immediately. Wash out mouth with water. Make the patient drink a large quantity of water, if possible with an addition of activated carbon, immediately, and then at frequent intervals. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel.

SKIN CONTACT: Wash skin immediately with plenty of water and soap. Subsequent cleansing with polyethyleneglycol 400, then again with water and

soap. In case of blueness of lips, skin or nails (cyanosis) let the person breathe oxygen. No consumption of alcohol after product contact. No physical exertion. Wash skin immediately with plenty of soap and water even when contact with the product is suspected. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention immediately.

EYE CONTACT: Get medical attention immediately. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes.

Fire-fighting measures
