| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, skin, inhalation of dust |
| Eye Contact: | Causes moderate irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes moderate irritation of the skin and dermatitis. Contact through a break in the skin can induce an allergic reaction. |
| Inhalation: | Inhalation of dust causes wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and asthma like symptoms, typical of allergy. |
| Ingestion: | Ingestion may lead to dizziness, abdominal cramps, and vomiting. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Upon repeated exposure certain persons may develop an allergic reaction to chloroplatinates, causing wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and runny nose. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | The chloroplatinate allergic reaction known as platinosis ceases when exposure is terminated. No permanent long term effects are reported. |
| 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. |
