| Precautionary statements - prevention |
Inhalation IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Skin IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water.If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Eyes IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. Fire In case of fire: Use CO2, dry chemical, or foam for extinction. Storage Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.Store locked up Disposal Dispose of contents/container to an approved waste disposal plant |
| Precautionary statements - response | Get medical attention/advice if you feel unwell |
| Skin Contact | Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention is required. |
| Eye Contact | Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention. |
| Inhalation: | Move to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention ifm symptoms occur. Risk of serious damage to the lungs. |
