FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
- Move person to fresh air.
- Seek medical attention if symptoms such as coughing or difficulty breathing occur.
Skin Contact:
- Wash affected area with soap and water.
- Remove contaminated clothing.
- Seek medical advice if irritation develops.
Eye Contact:
- Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.
- Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
- Continue rinsing and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion:
- Rinse mouth with water.
- Not expected to be hazardous in small quantities, but seek medical advice if symptoms occur.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
