ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
NOTES
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical
effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a
person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
