SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

M fi
Inhalation : Move to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer

O a
artificial respiration. Use oxygen as required, provided a

R r
qualified operator is present. Call a physician. Do not give drugs

tu
from adrenaline-ephedrine group.

IC c
Skin contact : After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. If

N fa
there is evidence of frostbite, bathe (do not rub) with lukewarm
E u (not hot ) water. If water is not available, cover with a clean, soft
cloth or similar covering. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
T c
Eye contact : Remove contact lenses. Rinse immediately with plenty of water,
O nă

also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.

H
Ingestion : Unlikely route of exposure. As this product is a gas, refer to the
IG eu

inhalation section. Do not induce vomiting without medical

advice. Call a physician immediately.
FR pr
S îm

Notes to physician

Treatment : Because of the possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm,

S r

catecholamine drugs, such as epinephrine, should be used with

IE oa
L

special caution and only in situations of emergency life support.

Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of
H d

symptoms and the clinical conditions. Treat frost-bitten areas as

needed.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

S îm

Personal precautions : Immediately evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Wear personal protective equipment. Unprotected persons
S r

must be kept away.

IE oa

Remove all sources of ignition.

L

Avoid skin contact with leaking liquid (danger of frostbite).

H d

Ventilate the area.

After release, disperses into the air.
C l

Vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by

S bi

reducing oxygen available for breathing.

a

Avoid accumulation of vapours in low areas.

Unprotected personnel should not return until air has been
al

tested and determined safe.

V

Ensure that the oxygen content is >= 19.5%.

Environmental precautions : Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

The product evapourates readily.

Methods for cleaning up : Ventilate the area.
