Section4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of first aid measures
General advice
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
In case of skin contact
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.
In case of eye contact
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
If swallowed
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been
thoroughly investigated., Cough, Shortness of breath, Headache, Nausea, Vomiting, Prolonged exposure
to iodides may produce iodism in sensitive individuals. Symptoms of exposure include: skin rash, running
nose, headache and irritation of the mucous membrane. For severe cases the skin may show pimples,
boils, hives, blisters and black and blue spots. Iodides are readily diffused across the placenta. Neonatal
deaths from respiratory distress secondary to goiter have been reported. Iodides have been known to
cause drug-induced fevers, which are usually of short duration.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

the standard EN 374 derived from it.
Body Protection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected
according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
For nuisance exposures use type P95 (US) or type P1 (EU EN 143) particle respirator.For higher
level protection use type OV/AG/P99 (US) or type ABEK-P2 (EU EN 143) respirator cartridges.
Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards
such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
