DESCRIPTION OF FIRST AID MEASURES AND INDICATION OF INMEDIATE AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED:
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. Keep victim lying down, quiet and warm. Rinse nose and mouth with water. Might require assistance with breathing. Seek medical care even if only slight discomfort occurs.

Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert give milk or water to drink. Thereafter 20 lime tablets dissolved in 2 L of water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical care.

Skin contact:
Alternative A - Rinse immediately with plenty of water, then treat with 2.5% Calcium Gluconate gel, follow the instructions on the packaging. If not available, see alt. B.

Eye contact:
Protect intact eye. Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical care (eye specialist).

Information for medical care:
Inform the doctor that the injury has been caused by contact with hydrofluoric and nitric acid mixtures.
