3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
The platinum ammine complex has low toxicity when ingested, but is a
moderate skin irritant. It strongly irritates the eyes and may irritate the upper
respiratory tract. The product does not cause dermatitis (Type IV
sensitisation) or allergic (Type I sensitisation) responses.
If this material is used to prepare other platinum compounds, it should be
noted that ionic platinum chloro complexes are highly allergenic and cis-
diamminedichloroplatinum(II) is highly toxic (tests on mice have shown it to
be carcinogenic).
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Over-exposure may produce the following symptoms-
First Aid
Inhalation- Irritation of the respiratory tract.
Eye contact- Redness and irritation.
Skin contact- Irritation. 聽 聽
First Aid - Inhalation Remove from exposure and allow to rest in fresh air. Seek medical advice if
symptoms persist. 聽
Rinse mouth with clean water, give milk or water to drink. Seek medical
First Aid - Ingestion
advice if symptoms persist.
First Aid - Eyes Irrigate with clean water or isotonic saline solution for 15 minutes.Seek
medical advice if symptoms persist. 聽
Remove contaminated clothes and wash skin with soap and water. 聽
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. 聽 聽

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (continued)
Wearing gloves and eye protection, sweep up the spillage and store in sealed
containers ready for disposal. Avoid mixing with flammable materials. 聽
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. 聽
Store in an air-tight container in a cool, dry place. 聽
Storage (JM)
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
UK MEL for halogeno-platinum compounds - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
USA ACGIH TLV-TWA for soluble platinum salts - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
German MAK for platinum compounds, measured as total dust - 0.002 mg/
m鈥?
Danish ELV for soluble platinum compounds - 0.002 mg/m鈥?
All values calculated as Pt. High risk of sensitization.
Local exhaust extraction should be used. Vapour and fumes from all
operations should be vented to external atmosphere via a collection or
scrubbing system. Personal filter type respiratory protection, impervious
gloves and industrial safety glasses should be worn. Work clothes should be
changed as often as necessary and at least after every working shift. Wash
hands after using this material.
Users of large amounts of the solid or its solutions should consider the
application of engineering control measures, such as total enclosure and
remote operation where possible. Workplace air and the exhaust from the
ventilation system should be monitored for airborne platinum to ensure that
exposure limit are not exceded. This monitoring should include personal
breathing zone sampling. Pre-exposure and periodic medical examinations of
persons exposed to platinum salts are recommended. Further details are
given in the HSE's Guidance Note MS22,"The Medical Monitoring of Workers
Exposed to Platinum Salts" (ISBN 0 11 883575 0). For non UK residents,
information is available from the JM Group Occupational Physician. 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽
