Dissolving a pure gold bar in acid (youtube.com)

I would expect warm aqua regia to have some effect on the floor and might have a few fumes. Is it dye in water? An acid proof lab floor would not be affected, but I would still expect some fumes. This fellow does it and mentions fumes and I do see bubbles in his dissolving.
