EVIDENCED BY COUGHING, LABORED BREATHING & CYANOSIS (BLUISH SKIN);
IN SEVERE CASES DEATH MAY OCCUR.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PREEXISTING EYE, SKIN AND
RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE TO THIS
PRODUCT.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes: FLUSH W/PLENTY OF WATER FOR 15 MINS. SKIN: FLUSH
W/WATER. FOLLOW BY WASHING W/SOAP & WATER. INHALATION: REMOVE
VICTIM TO FRESH AIR & PROVUDE OXYGEN IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT.
GIVE ARTIFICIAL RES PIRATION IF NOT BREATHING. INGESTION: DON'T
INDUCE VOMITING. IF VOMITING OCCURES SPONTANEOUSLY. KEEP HEAD BELOW
HIPS TO PREVENT ASPIRATION OF LIQUID INTO THE LUNGS. OBTAIN MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
