4. FIRST AID MEASURES
First aid measures
General Advice
Eye contact
First aid is upon rupture of sealed battery. Immediate medical attention is required.
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15
minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Do not rub affected area. Remove
contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek immediate
medical attention/advice.
Skin contact
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all
contaminated clothes and shoes. Seek immediate medical attention/advice. May
cause an allergic skin reaction.
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 medical attention immediately if symptoms occur.
Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth immediately and drink plenty of water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician or
poison control center immediately.
Self-protection of the first aider

necrosis. Bronchial irritation with chronic cough and frequent attacks of pneumonia are
common. Gastrointestinal disturbances may also be seen. Contains a known or suspected
carcinogen. Avoid repeated exposure. Prolonged exposure may cause chronic effects. May
cause adverse effects on the bone marrow and blood-forming system. May cause adverse
liver effects.
