If used in accordance with section 1.2, the exposition is not possible. The exposition can occur only in case of detonation in the form of post-detonation reaction products. Detonation may cause burns and injuries. In case of any suspicion, seek medical advice. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues. In case of detonation, there is a risk of burns, general injuries and injuries caused by splinters. Get medical advice/attention. In case of detonation, there is a risk of general injuries and injuries caused by splinters. Get medical advice/attention. Rinse mouth thoroughly. Get medical attention Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Information for health personnel General symptoms and effects Symptoms do not necessarily appear immediately. Patients should therefore be kept under medical observation for at least 48 hours. In case of inhalation of post-detonation reaction products, an irritation of respiratory system and a headache may occur. In case of detonation, injuries, burns.
