3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
This material is of low acute toxicity, LD50 (oral) >5000 mg/kg and is not a skin
or eye irritant. There is no evidence that Rhodium compounds possess the
allergenic properties of their Platinum counterparts. If heated to decomposition,
the production of toxic fumes is probable.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Although this material is not classified as hazardous, overexposure may produce
First Aid
the following symptoms. Inhalation- Possible irritation of the respiratory tract.
Eye Contact- Redness and irritation.
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 advice if
First Aid - Ingestion
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.
