3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Contact with the solution will result in irritation of the skin and eyes and the
vapour will be irritating to the respiratory tract.
As an oxidising material, it will increase the flammability of any combustible
substance. Wood and clothing impregnated with the nitrate present a high
risk of self-ignition. In contact with readily oxidisable substances, it may react
to cause ignition, violent combustion or explosion.
Tetramminepalladium(II)nitrate solid may explode violently when exposed to
heat or flame or by spontaneous chemical reaction when detonated.
Evaporation of this solution is, therefore, hazardous.
There is no evidence that soluble palladium salts give rise to an allergy
problem, similar to that observed with soluble platinum salts. 聽
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Overexposure to this material may produce the following symptoms -
First Aid
Inhalation - Irritation of the respiratory tract, sore throat and coughing.
Eye contact - Redness and irritation. 聽 聽 聽 聽
Remove from exposure and allow to rest in fresh air. Seek medical advice if
First Aid - Inhalation
symptoms persist. 聽
Rinse mouth with clean water, give milk or water to drink. Seek medical
First Aid - Ingestion
advice if symptoms persist.
Irrigate with clean water or isotonic saline for 5 minutes. Seek medical advice
First Aid - Eyes
if symptoms persist. 聽
Remove contaminated clothes and wash skin with soap and water. 聽
First Aid - Skin
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Although the compound is not flammable, it will assist a fire, producing irritant
and toxic fumes of oxides of nitrogen. Wear self contained breathing
apparatus and personal protective equipment. Use any extinguishing media
suitable for the surrounding fire. 聽

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. 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
No Occupational Exposure Limit, MAK or TLV has been established for this
material. If a risk of inhalation exists, users should wear an appropriate filter
type respirator. Alternatively, local exhaust extraction should be used.
Suitable eye protection and chemical resistant gloves should be worn. Vapour
and fumes from all operations should be vented to external atmosphere via a
suitable collection or scrubbing system. Wash hands after using this material.

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Mixtures of metal nitrates with alkyl esters may explode as a result of the
formation of alkyl nitrates. Mixtures with phosphorus, tin(II)chloride or other
reducing agents may react explosively. Nitrates will convert ethanol to
fulminic acid. When mixed with phosphinates, metal nitrates explode on
heating. Explosions may occur when nitrates melt and come into contact with
organic matter. 聽
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
LD50 (oral-rat) >200 mg/kg.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The nitrate content of this material is such as to present a serious threat to
aquatic life. Do not allow this material to enter natural watercourses. 聽
