===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:PRODUCT'S LD50 (ORAL RAT) WAS NOT STATED
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SULFURIC ACID IS HARMFUL BY ALL ROUTES
OF ENTRY. HAZARDOUS EXPOSURE TO LEAD COMPOUNDS CAN OCCUR ONLY WHEN
PRODUCT IS HEATED, OXIDIZED OR ORHERWISE PROCESSED OR DAMAGED TO
CREATE DUST, VAPOR OR FUME.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS SULFURIC ACID, LEAD & ARSENIC.
SEE THE INDIVIDUAL IARC & NTP REPORTS FOR DETAILS OF
CARCINOGENICITY.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION:SEVERE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
INGESTION:SEVERE IRRITATION OF G/I TRACT, ABDOMINAL PAIN, NAUSEA,
DIARRHEA, CRAMPING. SKIN:SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS, ULCERATION.
EYE:SEVERE IRRITATION, DAMAGE TO CORNEA, BLINDNESS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN,
LIVER, KIDNEY, NEUROLOGICAL AND RESPIRATORY AILMENTS MAY BE AT
INCREASED RISK FROM EXPOSURE EITHER LEAD OR SULFURIC ACID.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:IF IRRITATION PERSISTS OR IS SEVERE, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYE:FLUSH W/WATER FOR 15 MIN. SKIN:WASH W/SOAP & WATER. REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING & LAUNDER BEFORE REUSE. INHALED:REMOVE FROM
EXPOSURE. A ID OR RESTORE BREATHING AS NEEDED. INGESTED:DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE 1-2 GLASSES OF MILK OR WATER TO DRINK. GET
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR
ANY LEAD EXPOSURE.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Lower Limits:4.1 (H2)
Upper Limits:74.2 (H2)
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE,FOAM,DRY CHEMICAL. WATER AAPLIED TO
ELECTROLYTE CAUSES IT TO SPATTER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF BATTERIES ARE ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER.
USE A POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. WEAR
ACID RESISTANT CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS IS GENERATED
DURING OPERATION AND CHARGING OF BATTERIES. KEEP IGNITION SOURCES
AWAY FROM BATTERIES. FOLLOW MFR'S USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:USE ACID RESISTANT PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. SOAK
UP WITH NON-COMBUSTIBLE INERT ADSORBANT (EG.CLAY. SAND). PLACE
COLLECTED MATERIEL IN AN APPROPRIATE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. DO NOT
DISCHARGE UNNEUTRALIZED ACID TO SEWER.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, LIME.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE BATTERIES IN A COOL, DRY, WELL
VENTILATED AREA W/CONTAINMENT FOR SPILLS & ADEQUATE WATER. STORE
UNDER ROOF. SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS
Other Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT,SPARKS AND FLAMES. HAVE A WATER
SUPPLY READY FOR EMERGENCIES.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WHEN
CONCENTRATIONS OF SULFURIC ACID MIST ARE KNOWN TO EXCEED PEL, USE
NIOSH OR MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
Ventilation:STORE & HANDLE IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. MECHANICA
VENTILATION MUST BE ACID RESISTANT.
Protective Gloves:ELBOW LENGTH RUBBER/PLASTIC ACID RESISTA
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:ACID RESISTANT APRON, EYE WASH & SAVETY
SHOWER. FOR EMERGENCIES, ACID RESISTANT CLOTHING & BOOTS.
