(QUALIFIED MEDICALPERSONNEL ONLY)..if not in shock or coma, induce emesis and follow with gastric lavage usingdeferoxamine, 2 grams/liter solution containing 20gram/liter sodium bicarbonate in water. Leave 10grams deferoxamine in 50ml of 5% sodium bicarbonate in stomach. Treat for shock, maintainairway and blood :Get medical aid at once. Move victim to fresh air immediately. Give artificial respiration ifnecessary. If breathing is difficult, give to Physician:Treat symptomatically and 5 - Fire Fighting MeasuresGeneral Information:Negligible fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Move container if possible,avoid breathing vapors or dust.
