4. First aid measures
4.1 Description of the first aid measures
General remarks:
| Visit a doctor for a thorough examination.
|
After inhalation:
| Get fresh air and call a doctor. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration.
|
After skin contact:
| Pick up dust with dry cellulose. Clean immediately with plenty of water and soap. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and store in closed container like contaminated materials. |
After eye contact:
| Rinse with plenty of water when eyelid is open.
|
After ingestion:
| Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth and give 2 cups of water to drink if person is conscious. Call a doctor. |
Self-protection first aider:
| Accordingly, to avoid substance contact.
|
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Eye burning, skin scratching (dermatitis) after prolonged contact, metallic taste and runny nose ("selenium rhinitis"), coughing and scratching in the throat when inhaled, nausea up to and including vomiting, dizziness, headache. Formation of pulmonary oedema, CNS disorders, cardiac arrhythmias, liver and kidney damage possible.
4.3 Indications for immediate medical help or special treatment
Highly toxic hydrogen selenide and selenium dioxide may be formed by decomposition reactions in the stomach. Selenium intoxications may be recognisable by a metallic taste in the mouth and a garlicky odour in the breath. BAL and Ca-EDTA treatments are unsuitable for the treatment of selenium intoxications. For pulmonary oedema prophylaxis, the application of glucocorticoids is recommended.
