4First-aid measures

First Aid Measures
Inhalation
Move the person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If breathing is difficult or symptoms persist, call a POISON CENTER or doctor. If experiencing respiratory symptoms (wheezing, shortness of breath), call a POISON CENTER or doctor.
Skin
Take off contaminated clothing. Wash the skin with plenty of soap and water. If irritation or a rash develops, get medical advice.
Eyes
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do; continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists, get medical advice.
Ingestion
Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Call a POISON CENTER or doctor if you feel unwell.
Injection
For an accidental needle-stick: wash the site with soap and water, do not squeeze, cover with a dressing and seek medical advice; report the incident according to your laboratory's sharps procedure.
General
If exposed or concerned, get medical advice. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor. Pregnant or nursing laboratory staff should avoid exposure.
Most Important Symptoms And Effects
wheezing, chest tightness or asthma-like symptoms after inhalation in sensitised individuals.
Likely Routes Of Exposure
Inhalation of the aerosol and absorption through the nasal mucosa are the intended laboratory routes; eye contact from mis-directed spray; skin contact.

5Fire-fighting measures

Fire Fighting Information

6Accidental release measures

Spill And Clean Up Procedures
Absorb small spills with paper towel or an inert absorbent, place in a sealed container for disposal and clean the area with water and detergent.

7Handling and storage

Safe Handling
Avoid spraying toward the eyes or face. Do not share devices. Wipe the nozzle after use and keep the cap on. Wash hands after handling.
