4 .- FIRST AID
Inhalation : If exposure of 3 to 7 atm. has occurred, even the most severe cases will recover rapidly after a prompt reduction in
oxygen pressure. Supportive treatment should include immediate sedation, rest, and anti-seizure therapy if needed.
Skin Contact : Contact with rapidly expanding gas may cause frostbite. If this occurs, immerse affected parts in water no higher than
37°C. Do not heat abruptly. Do not rub frozen parts. Get medical help and transfer to the Assistance Center.
Eye contact : No adverse effects are expected from this product, beyond the projection of particles. Ingestion : Not applicable. It is
