EXPOSURE
PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!

  • INHALATION
    		• Cough. Sore throat.
    		Ventilation.
    		Fresh air, rest.
  • SKIN

    		• Protective gloves.
    		Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
  • EYES
    		• Redness.
    		Safety spectacles.
    		First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
  • INGESTION
    		• Weakness.
    		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
