Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. EYE/SKIN: REMOVE CONTACTS.
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15-20 MINUTES. HOLD EYELIDS OPEN.
CONTINUE RINSING WITH NORMAL SALINE UNTIL PH=7. INHALED:REMOVE TO
FRESH AIR & PROVIDE OXYGEN/ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
NEEDED.INGESTED:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF CONSCIOUS, DRINK LARGE
AMOUNT OF WATER/MILK. INGESTED ACID MUST BE DILUTED ABOUT 100
FOLDS. IF VOMITING OCCU RS, KEEP HEAD BELOW HIPS.
