SECTION 4: First aid measures

4.1. Description of first aid measures

General information In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Inhalation Move affected person to fresh air at once. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Ingestion Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention
Skin contact Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with water.
Eye contact Rinse immediately and as long as possible with plenty of water. Eyelids should be
held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Always seek medical advice.

4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Human health Harmful if swallowed or if inhaled. Causes serious eye damage. May cause an
allergic skin reaction. May cause respiratory irritation. May cause damage to organs
through prolonged or repeated exposure. May be fatal if swallowed and enters
airways.
General information May cause a transient itching and/or burning sensation in exposed human skin.
Synthetic pyrethroids can produce paresthesia. Typically, symptoms begin several
hours after cutaneous exposure, peak within 12 hours and resolve within about 24
hours.

4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Notes for the doctor Symptomatic treatment is advised.
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

5.1. Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Sand. Foam.
Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards In case of fire: Thermal decomposition may evolve toxic and irritating vapours.
5.3. Advice for firefighters
Protective actions during Water used to extinguish a fire should not be allowed to enter the drainage system
firefighting or watercourses.
Special protective equipment Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate
for firefighters protective clothing.
