individual administer oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and have a trained individual administer
oxygen. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. In case of
inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be
kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours.
EYE CONTACT: Get immediate medical attention. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 30
minutes while holding upper and lower eyelids open. Check for and remove contact lens.
