4- First Aid Suggestions
4.1 Description of First Aid Measures
In case of inhalation: Remove the person to fresh air, seek medical attention if breathing difficulties.
In case of skin contact: Dirty clothes or shoes should be removed immediately and the contaminated area should be washed with plenty of water. In case of serious irritation, a doctor should be consulted immediately. Clothes should be washed before being reused.
In case of contact with eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention immediately.
If swallowed: Seek immediate medical attention.
4.2. Major Symptoms and Effects, both acute and delayed
If inhaled: May cause irritation to the respiratory system.
In case of skin contact: Causes skin irritation. Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material. Skin contact may result in pain and burns; they may be of a deep nature with prominent margins and may heal slowly with the formation of scar tissue.
In case of eye contact: Chemical burns may occur after direct contact of the substance with the eyes.
Vapors or fumes can be extremely irritating. Causes severe eye damage up to blindness.
If swallowed: May cause irritation with serious consequences for the digestive tract.
4.3. First Signs of Need for Medical Intervention and Special Treatment
In case of inhalation, the person should be immediately removed to fresh air and medical attention should be sought immediately if breathing is difficult.
If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
In case of contact with the skin, remove contaminated clothing and shoes and wash the contaminated area with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes to prevent further exposure, and a doctor should be consulted immediately.
Clothes should be washed before being reused.
If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
There is no known antidote.
In emergency situations, symptomatic and supportive treatment should be applied.
