Do not return to the area that has be chemically contaminated until it is properly cleaned and assessed by experts.

If you are exposed to a toxic chemical because it spilled onto your clothing or skin, then you need to take your clothes off as soon as possible and wash your skin with water over and over to flush away the chemicals. You should also avoid touching the skin or clothing of someone who has been contaminated by toxic chemicals. If chemicals get into your eyes, you should flush them immediately with water.

Exposure to toxic chemicals can result in serious and life-changing illnesses, some of which can be debilitating and even fatal. That is why you should seek medical attention, call Poison Help at (800) 222-1222, or contact your poison control center if you believe you or a loved one have been exposed to toxic chemicals due to a spill, product defect, or manufacturer error.

Even if you don’t have any injury symptoms right after exposure, you should still be assessed by a doctor to make sure you haven’t suffered any internal injuries or contracted illnesses that might have delayed symptoms.
