3 - Hazards Identification
SPECIAL INDICATION OF HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Contact with combustible material may cause fire. Harmful if
swallowed. Contact with acids liberates toxic gas. Irritating to
eyes and respiratory system. Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may
cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
4 - First Aid Measures
AFTER INHALATION
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult,
call a physician.
AFTER SKIN CONTACT
In case of skin contact, flush with copious amounts of water for
at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.

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.
