4. FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1. Description of first aid measures
General advice:
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Move out of dangerous area.
For inhalation:
Remove victim to a well-ventilated area. Give oxygen or artificial respiration as required. Consult a
physician.
For skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash thoroughly with mild soap and warm
water. Consult a physician if there is persisting irritation. Wash clothing before reuse.
For eye contact: Contact with eyes can cause irritation. Flush with copious amounts of water for at least
fifteen minutes. Consult a physician.
For swallowing: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth thoroughly with
water. Consult physician or poison control center immediately. Treat symptomatically. Be prepared to
provide the attending physician a copy of this document.
Special notes to attending physician: There is no specific antidote. Treatment of overexposure should
be directed at control of symptoms and the clinical condition.
