oxidative metabolism. skin-i rritation with rash, eyes-irritation,
burns with discomfort, tearing, blurred vision, possible permanent
eye damage.
medical cond aggravated by exposure: preexisting diseases of the central
nervous system may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of
excessive exposures.
First aid: get immediate medical help in all cases. Eye &
skin-immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Remove
contaminated clothing. Inhaled/oral-always have on hand a cyanide
first aid kit. Break an amyl n itrite pearl in cloth & hold lightly
under nose for 15 seconds. Repeat every 5 minutes. Provide oxygen.
transport to hospital immediately.
