TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Not combustible but enhances combustion of other substances. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting. | NO contact with flammables. NO contact with combustible substances or organic materials. | In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. |
| EXPLOSION | Risk of fire and explosion on contact with organic materials. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. | |
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Burning sensation. Cough. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. Sore throat. Symptoms may be delayed. See Notes. | Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer immediately for medical attention. |
| Skin | Serious skin burns. Pain. Yellow staining of the skin. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention . |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. Burns. | Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. | Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer immediately for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Sore throat. Abdominal pain. Burning sensation in the throat and chest. Shock or collapse. Vomiting. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Rest. Refer for medical attention . |

| NOTES |
|
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. The symptoms of lung oedema do not become manifest until a few hours or even a few days have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Card has been partially updated in January 2008: see Occupational Exposure Limits. |
