Section 4. First Aid Measures
    Eye Contact        Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for    
    at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention immediately.
    Skin Contact        In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing    
    contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Cold water may be used.Wash
    clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
    Serious Skin Contact        Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate    
    medical attention.
    Inhalation        If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.    
    Get medical attention immediately.
    Serious Inhalation        Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or    
    waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth
    resuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth
    resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive. Seek immediate medical attention.
    Ingestion        Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an    
    unconscious person. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. Get medical attention if
    symptoms appear.

    of Various Substances
    Fire Fighting Media        Fire: Small fires: Use water. Do not use dry chemicals or foams. CO2, or Halon may provide limited control.    
    and Instructions        Large fires: Flood fire area with water from a distance. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without    
    risk. Do not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat. Fight fire from
    maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities
    of water until well after fire is out. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use
    unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn.

    Special Remarks on        Most cellulose (wood, cotton) materials contain enough catalyst to cause spontaneous ignition with 90%    
    Fire Hazards        Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide is a strong oxider. It is not flammable itself, but it can cause    
    spontaneous combustion of flammable materials and continued support of the combustion because it liberates
    oxygen as it decomposes.
    Hydrogen peroxide mixed with magnesium and a trace of magnesium dioxide will ignite immediately.

    THE CONTAINERS WHICH MAY BURST EXPLOSIVELY.
    Fire or explosion:
    May explode from friction, heat or contamination. These substances will accelerate burning when involved in a
    fire. May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Some will react explosively with hydrocarbons
    (fuels). Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard. /Hydrogen
