| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Exposure to platinum salts has been shown to cause wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and running of the nose. Harmful if swallowed. Causes burns. Skin contact can lead to dermatitis. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, skin, inhalation of dust |
| Eye Contact: | Causes burns to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes slight burns to the skin. May cause dermatitis. Can induce an allergic reaction. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of dust may cause wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and asthma like symptoms. Caues burns to the respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion may lead to dizziness, abdominal cramps, and vomiting. Harmful if swallowed. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Upon repeated exposure certain persons may develop an allergic reaction to chloroplatinates, causing wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and runny nose. Causes burns. Harmful if swallowed. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | The chloroplatinate allergic reaction known as platinosis ceases when exposure is terminated. No permanent long term effects are reported. May cause heritable genetic damage. |
| NTP: | No |
| IARC: | No |
| OSHA: | No |
| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
