===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE:INHALATION OF ACID VAPORS MAY
CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION OR BURNS OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM,
PULMONARY EDEMA, OR LUNG INFLAMMATION. MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS TO
SKIN OR EYES. INGESTION MAY CAUSE SEVER E BURNS TO MOUTH, THROAT,
AND STOMACH. MAY AFFECT KIDNEY FUNCTION. CHRONIC:MAY DAMAGE
LUNGS,TEETH EROSION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:ARSENIC IS LISTED BY IARC, NTP, & OSHA
AS A CARCINOGEN. LEAD IS CONSIDERED A PROBABLE CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:ACID:SEVERE IRRITATION OR BURNS TO EYES, NOSE
AND THROAT. DENTAL EROSION, NAUSEA AND VOMITING. LEAD:STOMACH
CRAMPS, LOSS OF APPETITE, MUSCULAR ACHES AND WEAKNESS, SLEEP
DISTURBANCES AND IRRITABILITY, ANEMIA AND NERVE DAMAGE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PULMONARY CONDITIONS, SKIN
DISEASES, LIVER, KIDNEY AND NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. RESUSCITATE IF NOT BREATHING.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER
FOR 15 MINUTES HOLDING EYELIDS OPEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN:REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR
15 MINUTES. GET MEDICAL ADVICE. INGESTION:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
GIVE NOTHING BY MOUTH IF UNCONSCIOUS. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Lower Limits:4.1( FOR H2)
Upper Limits:74.2(FOR H2)
Extinguishing Media:USE WATER FOG, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, OR DRY
CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER. WATER APPLIED TO
ACID GENERATES HEAT AND CAUSES IT TO SPLATTER. WEAR ACID RESISTANT
CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:WILL GENERATE HYDROGEN ON OVERCHARGE. MAY
EXPLODE IN FIRE AND PRODUCE HAZARDOUS FUMES AND OXIDE OF SULFUR
GASES.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND
FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. STOP LEAK IF YOU CAN DO SO WITHOUT RISK.
DO NOT USE WATER. NEUTRALIZE SPILL AND/OR WASHINGS WITH SODA ASH OR
LIME. WITH CLEAN SHOV EL, PLACE MATERIAL INTO CLEAN, DRY CONTAINER.
Neutralizing Agent:J.T.BAKER'S NEUTRASORB (R) OR TEAM 'LOW NA+' ACID
NEUTRALIZERS ARE RECOMMENDED.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN CORROSION-PROOF AREA. KEEP
BATTERIES OUT OF SUN AND AWAY FROM OPEN FLAMES. ISOLATE FROM
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.
Other Precautions:DO NOT GET IN EYES, ON SKIN OR ON CLOTHING. DO NOT
BREATHE VAPOR. KEEP IN TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER. LOOSEN CLOSURE
CAUTIOUSLY. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. WASH THOROUGHLY AFTER
HANDLING. IN CASE OF SPILL NEUTRALIZE WITH SODA ASH OR LIME.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED WHERE ADEQUATE VENTILATION
CONDITIONS EXIST. IF AIRBORNE CONCENTRATION EXCEEDS TLV, A NIOSH
APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IS RECOMMENDED.
Ventilation:USE MECHANICAL (GENERAL) OR LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO
MEET TLV REQUIREMENTS.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER GLOVES
Eye Protection:SAFETY GOGGLES WITH OPTIONAL FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER.
INDUSTRIAL-TYPE WORK CLOTHING AND APRON AS REQUIRED.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE. DO NOT GET ON SKIN OR IN EYES. DO
NOT BREATHE VAPORS OR MISTS.
