| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Dust may cause coughing and dermatitis. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin, and eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | May be severely irritating to the skin and eyes. Reddening of the eyes and pupil dilation are symptoms of cyanide poisoning. |
| Skin Contact: | May be severely irritating to the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Harmful by inhalation. The ability of blood to carry oxygen is diminished. |
| Ingestion: | Harmful if swallowed. Cyanides cause symptoms of nausea, confusion, lower jaw stiffness, convulsions, paralysis, coma, and respiratory failure. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. May be irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. May be fatal. Exposure to platinum compounds may lead to wheezing, coughing, 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. |
