| EXPLOSION | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. NO direct contact with water. | ||
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | ||
| Inhalation | Sore throat. Cough. Burning sensation. Shortness of breath. Laboured breathing. Symptoms may be delayed. See Notes. | Use local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Pain. Redness. Blisters. Skin burns. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention . |
| Eyes | Pain. Redness. Severe deep burns. Loss of vision. | Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Burning sensation. Shock or collapse. Abdominal pain. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention . |

| NOTES |
|
Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. Card has been partly updated in October 2004 and 2005. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, EU classification, Emergency Response. |
