What to know or do
Close windows when advised, use effective filtration if available and keep medicines and an evacuation plan ready. Contact care for new or worsening breathing symptoms, especially with asthma; use emergency help for severe breathlessness, chest pain or collapse.
What changes the answer
- The exact product, task, temperature, duration and ventilation
- Whether exposure is through breathing, swallowing, skin contact or injury
- Any label warning, spill, symptoms or repeated occupational-level exposure

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
