First-aid measures

General advice:

Immediate medical attention required. Immediately remove contaminated clothing.

If danger of loss of consciousness, place patient in recovery position and

transport accordingly. Apply artificial respiration if necessary. First aid

personnel should pay attention to their own safety.

If inhaled:

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.

On skin contact:

Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings,

consult a skin specialist.

On contact with eyes:

Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with

eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.

On ingestion:

Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, induce vomiting, seek

medical attention.

Note to physician:

Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no

known specific antidote, administer corticosteroid dose aerosol to prevent

pulmonary odema.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

water spray, alcohol-resistant foam

Unsuitable extinguishing media for safety reasons:

carbon dioxide

Specific hazards:

toxic gases/vapours, nitrous gases

Vapours may form explosive mixture with air.

Special protective equipment:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

Further information:

Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with

official regulations. Containers/tanks should be cooled with water spray.

Vapours are heavier than air and may accumulate in low areas and travel a

considerable distance up to the source of ignition.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

Breathing protection required. Use personal protective clothing. Sources of

ignition should be kept well clear.

Environmental precautions:

Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil. Do not discharge into drains/surface

waters/groundwater.
