15 minutes without rubbing. Use a mild soap if possible. If symptoms persist, call physician.
4.3. Eye Contact: In case of dust, thoroughly rinse eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Arrange for
transport to the nearest medical facility for examination and treatment by a physician as soon as possible.
Remove contact lenses if any before continuing to rinse. Do not let the victim rub his eyes.
4.4. Ingestion: Gently wipe or rinse the inside of the mouth with water. Give water to the victim if conscious, but
do not make him vomit. In case of vomiting, do not let the victim swallow the vomit. Do not give anything to
ingest to unconscious or convulsing victim.
4.5. Additional information: Mild hydrocortisone skin cream is helpful for skin irritation.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
