see section 8.
Inhalation
Take affected persons out into the fresh air.
Possible discomfort: Irritates skin and mucous linings of the eyes and respiratory tract. cough.
If breathing difficulties occur (e.g. severe continual coughing):
Keep patient half sitting with upper body raised.
Keep warm and in a quiet place.
Call a physician immediately.
Skin contact
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.
