5 Unconscious: maintain adequate airway and respiration. Respiratory arrest: artificial respiration or oxygen. Cardiac arrest: perform resuscitation. Victim conscious with labored breathing: half-seated. Victim in shock: on his back with legs slightly raised. Vomiting: prevent asphyxia/aspiration pneumonia. Prevent cooling by covering the victim (no warming up). Keep watching the victim. Give psychological aid. Keep the victim calm, avoid physical strain. Depending on the victim's condition: doctor/hospital. First-aid measures after inhalation : Remove the victim into fresh air. Respiratory problems: consult a doctor/medical service. First-aid measures after skin contact : Wash immediately with lots of water (15 minutes)/shower. Do not apply (chemical) neutralizing agents.

6 Remove clothing while washing. Do not remove clothing if it sticks to the skin. Cover wounds with sterile bandage. Consult a doctor/medical service. If burned surface > 10%: take victim to hospital. First-aid measures after eye contact : Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Do not apply neutralizing agents. Take victim to an ophthalmologist. First-aid measures after ingestion : Rinse mouth with water. Immediately after ingestion: give lots of water to drink. Do not induce vomiting. Immediately consult a doctor/medical service. Call Poison Information Centre ( ). Take the container/vomit to the doctor/hospital. Ingestion of large quantities: immediately to hospital. Most important symptoms and effects (acute and delayed) Symptoms/effects after inhalation : AFTER INHALATION OF DUST: Dry/sore throat.

7 Coughing. Irritation of the respiratory tract. Irritation of the nasal mucous membranes. EXPOSURE TO high CONCENTRATIONS: Respiratory difficulties. FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS MAY APPEAR LATER: Risk of lung edema. Symptoms/effects after skin contact : Tingling/irritation of the skin. May stain the skin. ON CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE/CONTACT: Caustic burns/corrosion of the skin. Symptoms/effects after eye contact : Corrosion of the eye tissue. Inflammation/damage of the eye tissue. ON CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE/CONTACT: Permanent eye damage. Symptoms/effects after ingestion : Nausea. Vomiting. Diarrhoea. Irritation of the gastric/intestinal mucosa. AFTER ABSORPTION OF LARGE QUANTITIES: Possible esophageal perforation. Shock. Slowing heart action. Low arterial pressure. Possible laryngeal spasm/oedema.

Potassium Permanganate safety data sheet according to Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 58 / Monday, March 26, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 02/13/2018 EN (English US) 3/9 Chronic symptoms : ON CONTINUOUS/REPEATED EXPOSURE/CONTACT: Respiratory difficulties. Impairment of the nervous system. Movement disturbances. Coordination disorders. Myasthenia. Tremor. Paralysis. Cramps/uncontrolled muscular contractions. Impaired memory. Emotional instability. Immediate medical attention and special treatment, if necessary No additional information available SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media : Adapt extinguishing media to the environment. Preferably: quantities of water.

9 Unsuitable extinguishing media : No unsuitable extinguishing media known. Specific hazards arising from the chemical Fire hazard : DIRECT FIRE HAZARD. Non combustible. INDIRECT FIRE HAZARD. Promotes combustion. Reactions involving a fire hazard: see "Reactivity Hazard". Explosion hazard : INDIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD. Reactions with explosion hazards: see "Reactivity Hazard". Reactivity : Decomposes on exposure to temperature rise: oxidation which increases fire hazard. Reacts with combustible materials: risk of spontaneous ignition. Violent to explosive reaction with (some) acids: release of toxic and corrosive gases/vapours. Reacts violently with many compounds : with organic material and with (strong) reducers. With (some) metals. With (increased) risk of fire/explosion.

10 Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters Precautionary measures fire : Exposure to fire/heat: keep upwind. Exposure to fire/heat: consider evacuation. Firefighting instructions : Cool tanks/drums with water spray/remove them into safety . Do not move the load if exposed to heat. Take account of environmentally hazardous firefighting water. Use water moderately and if possible collect or contain it. Protection during firefighting : Heat/fire exposure: compressed air/oxygen apparatus. SECTION 6: Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures For non-emergency personnel Protective equipment : Gloves. Face-shield. Protective clothing. Dust cloud production: compressed air/oxygen apparatus.
