Possible discomfort: severe irritation of mucous lining (nose, throat, eyes), cough, sneezing, flow of tears.
Consult a physician immediately.
Move victims into fresh air.
Do not leave victims unattended.
Keep patient warm and at rest.
If breathing difficulties occur (e.g. severe continual coughing):

Strictly controlled conditions during disposal or treatment to air, wastewater and waste.
Dispose of residual gases and unused gas by means of a suitable waste gas burning method.
Uncleaned packaging:
Waste to be packed like clean product and to be labeled.
Identification label on packages not to be removed until recycling.
Waste Key Number:
No waste key number as per the European Waste Types List can be assigned to this product, since such classification is based on the (as yet undetermined) use to which the product is put by the consumer.
The waste key number must be determined as per the European Waste Types List (decision on EU Waste Types List 2000/532/EC) in cooperation with the disposal firm / producing firm / official authority.
