SECTION 3: Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview: Exposure to gold compounds may be irritating to skin and eyes and damage kidney function and reduce blood cell count.
Primary Routes of Exposure: Contact with skin and eyes. Inhalation of dust.
Eye Contact: Causes mild irritation of the eyes.
Skin Contact: Causes slight irritation of the skin.
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust leads to irritation of the respiratory tract.
Ingestion: No information is available on the physiological effects of ingestion.
Acute Health Effects: Gold compounds may cause impairment of kidney and bone marrow function, abdominal cramps, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness, and convulsions. Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
Chronic Health Effects: Prolonged exposure to gold compounds may lead to reduced red and white blood cell generation.
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.
