4. First-aid measures
General Advice If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Eye Contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get
medical attention.

Skin Contact Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If skin irritation persists,
call a physician.

Inhalation Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention if
symptoms occur.

Ingestion Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.

Most important symptoms and . Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness,
effects tiredness, nausea and vomiting: Causes central nervous system depression: Continued or
high exposures by inhalation will cause anaesthetic effects. This may result in a loss of
consciousness and could prove fatal: Causes formation of carbon monoxide in the blood.
Carbon monoxide may cause adverse effects on the cardiovascular system and the central
nervous system
Notes to Physician Treat symptomatically
