SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Exposure to certain platinum salts has been shown to cause wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and running of the nose. Skin contact can lead to dermatitis.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Ingestion ,inhalation of dust, skin, eyes
Eye Contact: Irritating to eyes. May cause redness and pain.
Skin Contact: Irritating to skin. May cause itching and redness.
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust can lead to irritation of the respiratory tract, causing coughing and sore throat.
Ingestion: Ingestion may lead to dizziness, abdominal cramps and vomiting.
Acute Health Effects: Upon repeated exposure certain persons may develop an allergic reaction to certain 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.
