Employee suffers from exposure to unknown chemical

Employee #1, a jeweler, was plating a ring with a rhodium sulfate solution when he complained of shortness of breath and nausea as a result of inhalation of fumes thought to be cyanide. Jewelry pieces are refurbished by jewelers who plate them with metal salt solutions. A low power electrical conducting device is used to provide DC current to the electroplating process. Employee #1 went to the emergency room of a hospital and was released. There was no evidence of exposure to cyanide.
