SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks
and at the end of workday.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166 Use equipment for eye protection tested and
approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique
(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of
contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.
Wash and dry hands.
If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ from EN 374,contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only and must be
evaluated by an industrial hygienist and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of anticipated
use by our customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use scenario.
Body Protection
Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing., The type of protective equipment must be selected
according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle
respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering
controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use
respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as
NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Control of environmental exposure
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.

No data
Skin irritation or corrosion:
May cause irritation
Eye irritation or corrosion:
May cause irritation

No effects known.Specific target organ system toxicity - single exposure:
No effects known.
Aspiration hazard:
No effects known.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Exposure to platinum containing dusts or fumes may cause irritation, sensitization reactions and
asthma. Effects include sneezing, coughing, tightness in the chest, dyspnea and wheezing. Cyanosis
is possible. Chronic exposure may result in pulmonary fibrosis.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
No effects known.
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Prolonged inhalation of silica may cause silicosis, the formation of adhesions in the lungs progressing
to the formation of a continuous mass of fibrous tissue. If the
disease continues, death may occur. Tuberculosis is often found in people with silicosis. Some forms
of silica are more fibrogenic than others. Some forms of crystalline silica have shown carcinogenic,
tumorigenic and neoplastic effects in laboratory animals. Amorphous silica is less
harmful by inhalation than crystallineforms. Amorphous silica may, however, contain small amounts of
crystalline silica.
Additional toxicological information:
To the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this substance is not fully known.
