First Aid Measures

Ingestion
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.

Inhalation
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.

Skin

Hazards Identification

Inhalation
Inhalation of vapor may cause respiratory tract irritation.

Skin
May cause skin irritation.

Eyes
Vapors cause eye irritation.

Ingestion
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Hazards
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers.
