General notes
Do not leave affected person unattended. Remove victim out of the danger area. Keep affected person warm, still and
covered. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medic-
al advice. In case of unconsciousness place person in the recovery position. Never give anything by mouth.

Following inhalation
If breathing is irregular or stopped, immediately seek medical assistance and start first aid actions. In case of respirat-
ory tract irritation, consult a physician. Provide fresh air.

Following skin contact


Wash with plenty of soap and water.

Following eye contact


Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at
least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart.

Following ingestion
