SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1 Description of first aid measures

General advice

Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.Hydrofluoric (HF) acid

burns require

immediate and specialized first aid and medical treatment. Symptoms may be delayed up to 24 hours

depending on the

concentration of HF. After decontamination with water, further damage can occur due to

penetration/absorption of the

fluoride ion. Treatment should be directed toward binding the fluoride ion as well as the effects of

exposure. Skin

exposures can be treated with a 2.5% calcium gluconate gel repeated until burning ceases. More

serious skin

exposures may require subcutaneous calcium gluconate except for digital areas unless the physician

is experienced in

this technique, due to the potential for tissue injury from increased pressure. Absorption can readily

occur through thesubungual areas and should be considered when undergoing decontamination. Prevention of

absorption of the fluoride

ion in cases of ingestion can be obtained by giving milk, chewable calcium carbonate tablets or Milk of

Magnesia to

conscious victims. Conditions such as hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia and cardiac arrhythmias

should be monitored

for, since they can occur after exposure.

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.First treatment with calcium gluconate

paste.

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.
