3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
This solution is strongly basic and is corrosive to the skin and eyes. There is
no acute toxicological data available, but a similar compound is of low acute
toxicity. This material is not thought to present a sensitization risk but, users
should note that if ionic Platinum halogeno compounds are produced from it,
they will probably be highly allergenic.
Persons with a history of allergic diseases should not be exposed to Platinum
compounds. A history of cardiac or pulmonary disease 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 sensitivity. 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

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
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Evacuate non-protected personnel. Wear protective clothing, impervious
gloves, eye protection and filter-type respiratory protection when dealing with
spillages. Solid spills should be carefully collected into a sealable, plastic
lined drum. Solutions should be absorbed in sand or other inert absorbant
and carefully transferred to a plastic lined drum. The site of the spillage may
be treated with an aqueous solution of a reducing agent, to convert any
remaining platinum compounds to the metal. Store accumulated rags, wipes,
mops, sand, vermiculite etc. in suitably labelled containers for return to the
refinery for precious metal recovery. Afterwards, wash the site of the spillage
with copious amounts of water. If the spill has resulted in the dispersion of
dust through the air, the area must be decontaminated by thorough washing
with water. 聽 聽 聽
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
Keep in a secure store, in a sealed, plastic container, away from incompatible

materials such as reducing agents. 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 condition. No reactive hazards beyond
those commonly associated with strongly alkali solutions are known to
Johnson Matthey. Users should note that other Platinum/ammine/hydroxide
compounds are reported as exploding when heated as solids. 聽
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
There is no specific toxicological data available for this material, the following
data is given for the chloride analogue -
LD50 (oral rat) >1500 mg/kg.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No specific data is available for this material. Platinum impairs the
reproduction of Daphnids when present at very low levels. The alkalinity of
this solution will present a serious hazard if discharged into natural
watercourses. In soil, this material will be rapidly neutralized and should not
present a serious long term hazard. 聽
13. DISPOSAL
Return accumulated waste material to the refinery for metal recovery, or
dispose of in accordance with local and national regulations. 聽
