First Aid Information For: pH down-10/06/2005
From MSDS
SWALLOWED - For advice, contact a Poisons Information Center or a doctor at once. - Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed. - If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. - If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. - Observe the patient carefully. - Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. - Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink. - Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
EYE If this product comes in contact with the eyes: - Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. - Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. - Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Center or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. - Transport to hospital or doctor without delay. - Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
SKIN If skin or hair contact occurs: - Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available. - Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. - Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Center. - Transport to hospital, or doctor.
INHALED - If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. - Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. - Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. - Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. - Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN For acute or short term repeated exposures to strong acids: - Airway problems may arise from laryngeal edema and inhalation exposure. Treat with 100% oxygen initially. - Respiratory distress may require cricothyroidotomy if endotracheal intubation is contraindicated by excessive swelling - Intravenous lines should be established immediately in all cases where there is evidence of circulatory compromise. - Strong acids produce a coagulation necrosis characterized by formation of a coagulum (eschar) as a result of the desiccating action of the acid on proteins in specific tissues.
