MSDS Name:Platinum(ii) chloride 73% pt
Synonym:Platinous chlorid

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation. In the eyes, the dusts cause a burning sensation, tearing, and conjunctival hyperemia (an excess of blood in a part), sometimes associated with photophobia.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Contact with the skin may cause urticaria (hives).
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause asthmatic attacks due to allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract. Causes irritation of mucous membrane. Inhalation may produce tearing, sneezing, rhinorrhea (the free discharge of a thin nasal mucus), cough, dyspnea (labored breathing), bronchial asthma, and cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic inhalation may cause effects similar to those of acute inhalation.

Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:

General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Substance is noncombustible.
Extinguishing Media:
Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire.

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions.

Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
