Product Chemical Family
3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
The solution has a pH in the range 9.8 - 10.2 and is non-irritating to skin or
eyes. It has been found to be a strong sensitizer by the Magnusson &
Kligman test on animals and so may cause skin sensitization by skin
contact.
The solution has been shown not to produce allergic reactions (Type 1
sensitisation) in humans. It should be noted that if platinum-halogen
complexes are prepared from this material, they will be highly allergenic,
causing Type 1 sensitisation in susceptible individuals.
The addition of strong bases, or heating the solution may give rise to the
evolution of ammonia gas.
Users should note that this material is not included in the"European
Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances" (EINECS) and has
only been the subject of a"limited announcement" within the United Kingdom.
In compliance with this notification, the phrase"Caution, substance not yet
fully tested" is assigned to the label.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Although this material is not classified as hazardous, overexposure may
First Aid
produce the following symptoms. Inhalation- Possible irritation of the
respiratory tract. Eye Contact- Redness and irritation.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES (continued)
Remove from exposure and allow to rest in fresh air. Seek medical advice if
First Aid - Inhalation
symptoms persist.
Rinse mouth with clean water, give milk or water to drink. Seek medical
First Aid - Ingestion
advice if symptoms persist.
Irrigate with water or isotonic saline for 5 minutes.Seek medical advice if
First Aid - Eyes
symptoms persist.
Remove contaminated clothes and wash skin with soap and water.
First Aid - Skin
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.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Wash to drain. Wash site of spillage with large amounts of water. Do not
allow spillage or wash water to enter natural watercourses.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Local exhaust extraction should be used and protective clothing, including
Handling (JM)
gloves and eye protection should be worn. Do not eat, drink, smoke or
apply cosmetics whilst handling.
Store in an air-tight container in a cool, dry place.
Storage (JM)
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
The following exposure controls have been established for Platinum
compounds -
UK HSE MEL - Halogeno-platinum compounds,(as Pt) - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
UK HSE OES - Platinum compounds, soluble (as Pt) - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
USA ACGIH TLV - Platinum, soluble salts (as Pt) - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
Germany MAK - Platinum compounds (total dust) - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
Denmark ELV - Platinum compounds, soluble (as Pt) - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
If a risk of inhalation exists, users should wear an appropriate filter type
respirator. Suitable gloves and eye protection should also be worn.

known.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The only data available for this material is the result of a Magnusson and
Kligman sensitisation test - positive, strong sensitiser.
Toxicological studies on similar compounds indicate that the LD50 (oral) is
expected to be >2000 mg/kg, and that this material is not expected to be a
skin or eye irritant.
Persons with a history of allergic diseases, such as asthma or hay-fever,
should not work with platinum salts. A history of cardiac or pulmonary
disease may also preclude work with platinum salts - medical opinion should
be sought. Any workers experiencing untoward effects or symptoms
should be removed from exposure and medically examined for platinum
sensitivity.
Sensitisation is indicated by positive skin-prick test to low concentration
solutions of platinum salts.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The reproduction of daphnids is impaired (16%) by 0.014 ppm Pt in 3
weeks. Hydrogen hexachloroplatinate is reported to be lethal to certain
freshwater species. The complex may persist for some time in the
environment.
13. DISPOSAL
Return accumulated waste material to the refinery for metal recovery, or
dispose of in accordance with local and national regulations.
