3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
This material is of low acute toxicity and is not classified as harmful. It is only
mildly irritating to the skin and is not irritating to the eyes. However animal
tests have indicated that it is a moderate skin sensitiser (grade III) according
to the Magnusson and Kligman test.
Inhalation of dust may produce irritation of the respiratory tract with a
possibility that chronic over-exposure may lead to pulmonary fibrosis.
There is no evidence that Rhodium compounds produce the severe
sensitisation of their Platinum analogues. 聽 聽
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation of dust may produce irritation of the respiratory system.
First Aid
Ingestion may cause nausea and vomiting.
Eye contact may cause mechanical irritation.
Skin contact may cause irritation and, if prolonged or repeated contact
occurs, possible sensitisation and subsequent dermatitic reactions. 聽 聽 聽
remove from exposure and allow to rest in fresh air. Seek medical attention if

symptoms persist.
rinse mouth with clean water, give milk or water to drink. Seek medical
First Aid - Ingestion
attention if symptoms persist,
irrigate with clean water or isotonic saline for 5 minutes. Seek medical
First Aid - Eyes
attention if symptoms persist. 聽
remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with soap and water. If symptoms
First Aid - Skin
persist or sensitisation is suspected seek medical advice. 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 (continued)
Collect in a suitable container for re-use, re-cycling or for disposal. 聽
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
If the process is dusty or if fume is created, local exhaust extraction should be
Handling (JM)
used and protective clothing, including gloves and eye protection, should be
worn. There are no special requirements if used under ordinary conditions
and with adequate ventilation. 聽
Store in a cool, dry area away from incompatible materials, such as liquid
Storage (JM)
halogenated hydrocarbons and oxidising agents. Protect from physical
damage. Powder and other active forms should be kept in tightly sealed
containers under nitrogen.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
UK HSE OES for rhodium metal fume and dust - 0.1 mg/m鈥?
for soluble salts - 0.001 mg/m鈥?
USA ACGIH TLV for rhodium metal - 1 mg/m鈥?
for insoluble compounds - 1 mg/m鈥?
for soluble compounds - 0.01 mg/m鈥?
If a risk of inhalation exists, users should wear an appropriate filter-type
respirator. Suitable eye protection, such as goggles, should also be worn. 聽 聽 聽

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (continued)
Magnusson and Kligman test: moderate skin sensitiser (GradeIII).
There is no evidence that rhodium compounds give rise to an allergy problem
(Type I) sensitisation, similar to that observed with platinum-halogen
complexes.
聽聽
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The effect of rhodium compounds on the environment has not been
investigated but the hazard is thought to be low. Rhodium is not
concentrated by plants or animals. Natural processes will tend to produce
insoluble compounds. 聽
13. DISPOSAL
Return accumulated waste material to the refinery for metal recovery, or
dispose of in accordance with local and national regulations. 聽
