3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
This material is of moderate acute toxicity (LD50 oral rat 200 - 2000 mg/kg)
and is a severe eye irritant. It is not a skin sensitizer but users should note
that if ionic Platinum halogeno compounds are prepared from this material
they will be highly allergenic.
Persons with a history of allergic diseases should not be exposed to Platinum
compounds. A history of cardiac or pulmonary diasease may preclude
exposure to Platinum compounds - medical opinion should be sought. Any
person experiencing untoward effects or symptoms whilst using Platinum
compounds should be removed from exposure and medically examined for
Platinum sensitization. 聽 聽 聽
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
First Aid - Inhalation remove from exposure and allow to rest in fresh air. Seek medical advice. 聽
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

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Wear protective clothing. Sweep up spillage and store in sealed containers
ready for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Good industrial hygiene practices should be observed. Avoid direct contact.
Handling (JM)
Do not eat, drink, smoke or apply cosmetics whilst handling. Exposure to air-
borne particulates must be kept within permissible limits. Use only under
conditions of good local ventilation. 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽

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. 聽

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
This material is supplied in a stable form. Users should note that, when
subjected to a self ignition test"stainless steel basket" Method A16, this
material, in common with its Palladium analogue, gave an extreme exotherm
at 193掳C. This material has been the subject of a"Carius tube" test and no
evidence of a similar exotherm was reported. In fact, a moderate endotherm
was reported as would be expected for this type of reaction. It is the opinion
of Johnson Matthey that the exotherm reported in the A16 test was possibly
the result of an electrochemical reaction induced by the prescence of base

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The following toxicological data is available -
Irritation -
Eye rabbit, positive (severe). Skin rabbit, negative ,
Skin sensitization (Magnusson and Kligman), negative.
Acute toxicity -
LD50 (oral rat) 200 - 2000 mg/kg. LD50 (skin rat) > 2000 mg/kg.
Chronic toxicity - a 28 day oral study gave a NOEL of 15mg/kg/day. Users
should note that the effects reported at dose levels of 150 and 300mg/kg/day
were not thought to be indicative of serious damage to health.
User should note that this material gave a positive result in an Ames test,
positive result in a mouse lymphoma assay study but a negative result in a
UDS assay.
