SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Cyanides may cause headache, weakness, weak and irregular heartbeat, unconsciousness, convulsions, coma and death.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Ingestion, inhalation, skin, and eyes.
Eye Contact: Irritating to eyes. Reddening of the eyes and pupil dilation are symptoms of cyanide poisoning.
Skin Contact: Irritating to the skin.
Inhalation: Harmful inhalation. The ability of blood to carry oxygen is diminished. May be fatal.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Cyanides cause symptoms of confusion, giddiness, lower jaw stiffness, convulsions, paralysis, coma and respiratory failure.
Acute Health Effects: Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May be fatal. Exposure to platinum compounds may lead to wheezing, coughing, and running of the nose and dermatitis.
Chronic Health Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure of aqueous solutions to skin may cause a cyanide rash and slow healing sores. Dust may cause nasal sores.
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.
