FIRST AID MEASURES	4.1 Description of first-aid measures General advice First aiders need to protect themselves. Show this material safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. If inhaled After inhalation: fresh air. Immediately call in physician. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary also oxygen. In case of skin contact In case of skin contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower. Call a physician immediately. In case of eye contact After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Immediately call in ophthalmologist. Remove contact lenses. If swallowed If swallowed: give water to drink (two glasses at most). Seek medical advice immediately. In exceptional cases only, if medical care is not available within one hour, induce vomiting (only in persons who are wide awake and fully conscious), administer activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in a 10% slurry) and consult a doctor as quickly as possible. 4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2.2) and/or in section 11 4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed No data available
