Section 4. First Aid Measures

General Advice: No hazards which require special first aid measures.

Inhalation: If respiratory irritation develops, remove to fresh air. If difficulty breathing, give oxygen
and get medical attention. If not breathing, apply artificial respiration and get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Flush with plenty of water. Obtain medical attention if irritation develops. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash separately before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open
to ensure adequate flushing. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue flushing. Get
medical attention.
