| Description of First aid Measures | |
| After Inhalation (Dust or vapour) | 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. Move to fresh air. |
| After Skin contact | Flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean or destroy contaminated shoes. Rinse with plenty of water. |
| After Eye contact | Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. If easy to do, contact lenses should be removed during the flushing, by trained personnel. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, also under the eyelids. |
| After Swallowing | Call a physician or a poison control center immediately. Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. The patient should lie on their left side while vomiting to reduce the risk of aspiration. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Clean mouth with water and afterwards drinks plenty of water. |
