| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | May be irritating to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Exposure to gold compounds may damage kidney function. Reaction with mineral acids may produced volatile and highly toxic hydrogen cyanide fumes. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, skin, eyes |
| Eye Contact: | May cause slight to mild irritation of the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | May cause slight to mild irritation of the skin. Harmful in contact with skin. |
| Inhalation: | Dust may be irritating to the nose, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Harmful by inhalation. |
| Ingestion: | Toxic if swallowed. Ingestion may lead to metallic taste, abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea, convulsions and death. |
| Acute Health Effects: | May cause irritation to eyes and respiratory tract, impairment of kidney and bone marrow function, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weakness, and convulsions. May be fatal if swallowed. |
| 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. |
