warming up). Keep watching the victim. Give psychological aid. Keep the victim calm, avoid
physical strain. Depending on the victim's condition: doctor/hospital.
: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Remove the victim into fresh
air. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service.
: Rinse with water. Soap may be used. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents. Take victim
to a doctor if irritation persists. Wash skin with plenty of water.
: Rinse with water. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Do not
apply neutralizing agents. Take victim to an ophthalmologist if irritation persists. Rinse eyes
with water as a precaution.
: Rinse mouth with water. Immediately after ingestion: give lots of water to drink. Call Poison
Information Centre (www.big.be/antigif.htm). Consult a doctor/medical service if you feel unwell.
