Description of first aid measures

General advice Immediate medical attention is required. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in
attendance.

Inhalation Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Get medical
attention immediately. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way
valve or other proper respiratory medical device. If breathing is difficult, (trained personnel
should) give oxygen. Delayed pulmonary edema may occur. Get immediate medical
attention.
