Very toxic to aquatic organisms may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. 1 FIRST-AID MEAUSRES: Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Keep patient warm and at rest. Call a physician or Poison Control Centre immediately. Skin contact: Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off immediately with plenty of water. If skin irritation persists, call a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Immediate medical attention is required. Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. Do NOT induce vomiting. Medical advice: There is no specific antidote available. Treat symptomatically. Advice to Doctor: No specific antidote. Treat according to symptoms. FIRE-FIGHING MEASURES: - Suitable extinguishing media: Extinguishing media - small fires Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Extinguishing media - large fires Alcohol-resistant foam Water spray Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: Do not uses a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. Specific hazards during fire fighting: As the product contains combustible organic components, fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous products of combustion Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health. Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

2 Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE: Personal precautions: Refer to protective measures. Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Methods for cleaning up: Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations.
