General advice
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
In case of skin contact
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.

4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This chemical should be considered toxic.
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
/SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration,
preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush
contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical
attention. /Poisons A and B/

8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Eye/face protection
Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government
standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protection
Wear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous
substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique(without
touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable
laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive
