inhalation. |
| Section 4: First Aid Measures |
Generally
not hazardous in normal handling, however good laboratory practices
should always be used. Avoid long term exposure to skin or by
inhalation.
FIRST AID: SKIN: Wash exposed area with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
EYES: Wash eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting
lids occasionally. Seek Medical Aid. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air.
