drink.
First-aid measures after inhalation
: Remove the victim into fresh air. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service.
First-aid measures after skin contact
: Rinse with water. Take victim to a doctor if irritation persists.
First-aid measures after eye contact
: Rinse with water. Take victim to an ophthalmologist if irritation persists. Do not apply
neutralizing agents.
First-aid measures after ingestion
: Rinse mouth with water. Immediately after ingestion: give lots of water to drink. Call Poison
Information Centre (www.big.be/antigif.htm). Consult a doctor/medical service if you feel unwell.
Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital.
