AVOID ALL CONTACT!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation		Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin		Protective gloves.	Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
Eyes		Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder.	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance may cause effects on the nervous system. Exposure could cause lowering of consciousness.	Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure This substance is probably carcinogenic to humans.
