Symptoms and effects

Irritating to skin. May cause sensitization by skin contact. Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed.
First aid
General
In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Oxygen may additionally be given, by
trained personnel, if it is available. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Skin
Immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get
medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean or destroy

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. If easy to do, contact lenses should be removed during
the flushing, by trained personnel. Occasionally hold the eyelids apart during the flushing to ensure
rinsing the entire surface of the eye and lids with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and
persists.
Ingestion
Call a physician or a poison control center immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to
do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs, the patient should lie on their left side while vomiting
