Causes burns. Risk of serious damage to eyes. May cause SENSITISATION by inhalation and skin contact. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS SWALLOWED ! Toxic effects may result from the accidental ingestion of the material; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 40 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual. ! The material can produce chemical burns within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract following ingestion. ! Ingestion of acidic corrosives may produce burns around and in the mouth. the throat and esophagus. EYE ! The material can produce chemical burns to the eye following direct contact. Vapors or mists may be extremely irritating. ! If applied to the eyes, this material causes severe eye damage. ! Direct eye contact with acid corrosives may produce pain, tears, sensitivity to light and burns. Mild burns of the epithelia generally recover rapidly and completely. SKIN ! The material can produce chemical burns following direct contactwith the skin. ! Skin contact is not thought to produce harmful health effects (as classified using animal models). Systemic harm, however, has been identified following exposure of animals by at least one other route and the material may still produce health damage following entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions. ! Skin contact with acidic corrosives may result in pain and burns; these may be deep with distinct edges and may heal slowly with the formation of scar tissue. ! Platinum and its compounds produces marked irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. Contact allergic dermatitis may also result. ! Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material. ! Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected. INHALED ! If inhaled, this material can irritate the throat andlungs of some persons. ! The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects following inhalation (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, adverse effects have been produced following exposure of animals by at least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting. ! Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled. ! Corrosive acids can cause irritation of the respiratory tract, with coughing, choking and mucous membrane damage. There may be dizziness, headache, nausea and weakness. CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS ! Inhaling this product is more likely to cause a sensitization reaction in some persons compared to the general population. Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitization reaction in some persons compared to the general population. Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemical systems. Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e. pneumoconiosis; caused by particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the lung. Repeated or prolonged exposure to acids may result in the erosion of teeth, swelling and or ulceration of mouth lining. Irritation of airways to lung, with cough, and inflammation of lung tissue often occurs. Respiratory sensitization may result in allergic/asthma like responses; from coughing and minor breathing difficulties to bronchitis with wheezing, gasping. Platinum salt complexes can cause immediate hypersensitivity reactions either by contact or inhalation known as "platinosis". Symptoms include asthma, runny nose, inflammation of skin, eczema and hives, cough, inflammation of the nose and throat, difficulty breathing, itching, and dilation of the blood vessels of the conjunctiva. A related product cisplatin (cis-dichlorodiamine platinum) is a chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of testicular, ovarian, bladder, prostrate and thyroid cancers with serious side-effects limiting its usefulness. These include gastrointestinal upset, nephrotoxicity, myelosuppresion, ototoxicity, peripheral neuropathy, allergic reactions, hypomagnesia and rarely cardiotoxicity. Cisplatin may mobilise body lead stores and increase renal lead accumulation which may enhance cisplatin nephrotoxicity. 2 of 9 Section 3 - COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS NAME CAS RN % platinic chloride 26023-84-7 >98 Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES SWALLOWED " For advice, contact a Poisons Information Center or a doctor at once. " Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed. EYE ! If this product comes in contact with the eyes: " Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. " Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. SKIN ! If skin or hair contact occurs: " Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available. " Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. INHALED " If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. " Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Inhalation of vapors or aerosols (mists, fumes) may cause lung edema. Corrosive substances may cause lung damage (e.g. NOTES TO PHYSICIAN ! For acute or short term repeated exposures to strong acids: " Airway problems may arise from laryngeal edema and inhalation exposure. Treat with 100% oxygen initially. " Respiratory distress may require cricothyroidotomy if endotracheal intubation is contraindicated by excessive swelling. Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Vapour Pressure (mmHG): Not applicable Upper Explosive Limit (%): Not applicable Specific Gravity (water=1): 2.431 Lower Explosive Limit (%): Not applicable EXTINGUISHING MEDIA " Water spray or fog. " Foam. FIRE FIGHTING " Alert Emergency Responders and tell them location and nature of hazard. " Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus. When any large container (including road and rail tankers) is involved in a fire, consider evacuation by 800 metres in all directions. GENERAL FIRE HAZARDS/HAZARDOUS COMBUSTIBLE PRODUCTS " Non combustible. " Not considered to be a significant fire risk. Decomposition may produce toxic fumes of: hydrogen chloride, metal oxides. FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY ! None known. PERSONAL PROTECTION Glasses: Safety Glasses. Full face- shield. Gloves: Respirator: Particulate Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES MINOR SPILLS " Clean up all spills immediately. " Avoid contact with skin and eyes. 3 of 9 MAJOR SPILLS " Clear area of personnel and move upwind. " Alert Emergency Responders and tell them location and nature of hazard. Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING " Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation. " Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. RECOMMENDED STORAGE METHODS ! DO NOT use aluminum or galvanized containers. Check regularly for spills and leaks. " Lined metal can, Lined metal pail/drum " Plastic pail. For low viscosity materials " Drums and jerricans must be of the non-removable head type. " Where a can is to be used as an inner package, the can must have a screwed enclosure.
