Handle with gloves, lab coat, and safety googles.
Avoid eye, mouth and skin contact.
|
Eye Contact:
Remove any
contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15
minutes, keeping eyelids open. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with
plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Remove
contaminated
Clothing and shoes. Cold water may be. Wash clothing
and shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.
Serious Skin Contact:
Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the
contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical
attention.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical attention.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large
quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately.
Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

(irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation.
·
Slightly hazardous in case of
skin contact (permeator).
·
Severe over-exposure can
result in death
·
Slightly hazardous in case of
skin contact (sensitizer).
·
Mutagenic for mammalian
somatic cells. Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast.
·
The substance is toxic to
eyes. The substance may be toxic to blood, kidneys, liver, brain, peripheral
nervous system, upper respiratory tract, skin, central nervous system (CNS),
optic nerve.
·
Repeated or prolonged
exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.
·
Repeated exposure to a highly toxic material
may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many
human organs.

Eye Contact:
Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately
flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open.
Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Wash clothing and
shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Serious Skin Contact:
Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the
contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical
Attention.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get
medical attention immediately.
Serious Inhalation:
Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as
possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing
is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. (WARNING: It may
be hazardous to the person providing aid to give
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious
or corrosive.) Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion:
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed
to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. Loosen tight clothing
