The substance is toxic to lungs, mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target
organs damage, chronic eye and skin irritation, respiratory tract irritation leading to frequent attacks to bronchial infection.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eye contact: Check for and remove contact lenses. Immediately flush with running water for at least 15 minutes keeping eyelids
open. Cold water may be used. DO NOT use eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin contact: Wash immediately with running water. Gently and thoroughly was contaminated skin with running water and
