SPECIAL INDICATION OF HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Harmful if swallowed. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and
skin. Reacts violently with water, liberating extremely flammable
gases. May form explosive peroxides.
4 - First Aid Measures
AFTER INHALATION
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
AFTER SKIN CONTACT
In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious
amounts of water.
AFTER EYE CONTACT
In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of
water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by
separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.
AFTER INGESTION
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is
conscious. Call a physician.
