First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

General advice

Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.

Inhalation

Remove to fresh air. Oxygen, if needed.

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water.

Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

Ingestion

Call a physician immediately. Induce vomiting if person is conscious. Hold person's head low, to prevent aspiration (inhalation into the windpipe) Rinse mouth. If conscious, give the victim plenty of water

to drink.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Eyes

Inflammation

Lungs

Cough

Skin irritation

Notes to physician / Possible hazards

Systemic poisoning, heart and circulatory reaction, breathing problems

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Due to toxicity, elimination is the main priority.

If the person remains conscious, induced vomiting may be advisable, otherwise pump out stomach

(gastric lavage) while taking preventive measures against inhalation (if necessary, intubation beforehand).

If ingested, irrigate the stomach.

Take preventive measures against aspiration (intubation if necessary).

Irritation of the skin and mucus membranes can be treated with corticosteroids.

Treat symptomatically.
