3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
By analogy with the corresponding ammonium compound this material is
expected to be a severe eye irritant, a skin irritant and irritating to the
respiratory tract if inhaled. The acute LD50 of this material is greater than
200mg/kg but is expected to be less than 2000mg/kg, it is therefore classified
as harmful.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Over-exposure may produce the following symptoms -
First Aid
Inhalation - irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract, producing
coughing.
Ingestion - nausea and vomiting.
Eye contact - redness, irritation, blurred vision and pain.
Skin - redness and irritation with possible tissue damage. 聽 聽
remove from exposure and allow to rest in fresh air. Seek medical advice. 聽
First Aid - Inhalation
rinse mouth with clean water and give water or milk to drink. Seek medical
First Aid - Ingestion
attention.
irrigate with water or isotonic saline solution for 15 minutes. Seek medical
First Aid - Eyes
attention.
remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. If
First Aid - Skin
symptoms persist or tissue damage is evident, seek medical attention.
Launder clothing before re-use. 聽
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Although the material is not flammable, toxic fumes will be produced if
involved in a fire. The residue, ash or char left after a fire may have catalytic
properties and may promote the re-ignition of flammable materials and
vapours. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and personal protective
equipment. Use any extinguisher suitable for the surrounding fire. 聽 聽

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
This material is supplied in a stable condition, however, it will decompose, to
produce mono- and di-hydroxy compounds together with hydrochloric acid, if
exposed to water. No specific reaction hazards are known but the Platinum
analogue is reported as reacting vigorously with Bromine trifluoride, a similar
hazard cannot be excluded for this material. 聽
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
LD50 (oral rat) >200 mg/kg.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
There have been no reports of adverse environmental effects due to
Palladium. Palladium chloride, at very low levels, is reported as stimulating
the growth of a species of grass, however, at high levels a toxic effect is
demonstrated. 聽
