What to do

1. If exposed: leave the area. Outside, move upwind if possible.
2. If told to shelter indoors from an outside cloud: shut doors/windows, turn off ventilation and stay in the designated room.
3. Pesticide on skin: remove contaminated clothing, wash with soap/water. Follow product medical directions.
4. Get medical advice after exposure, even after cleaning.
5. Away from the spill: remove contaminated clothes without passing over your face. If possible, isolate in two bags. Leave untouched. Keep out of shelter and ordinary rubbish.
6. General skin contamination: gently wash with lukewarm water and soap for at least 2–3 minutes. Do not scrub. Burns or special substances: use the specific guide and dispatcher.
7. Use clean clothes and keep warm. Child or dependent person: request protected cleaning help. Tell responders about exposure before approaching an ambulance or entering a hospital.
