===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:LD50 (ORAL RAT) IS 2140 MG/KG (H2SO4)
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF
RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYES, SKIN OR GI TRACT. MAY CAUSE BURNS OF SKIN,
EYES, OR GI TRACT. MAY CAUSE CORNEAL DAMAGE OR BLINDNESS. CHRONIC:
TOOTH EROSION, INFLAMMATION OF NOS E, THROAT AND BRONCHIAL TUBES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THE ELECTROLYTE IS NOT LISTED BY IARC,
NTP, OR OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: BURNING SENSATION IN NOSE, THROAT
AND LUNGS, COUGHING, WHEEZING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH. EYES: REDNESS,
TEARING, BLURRED VISION, BURNS, SEVERE PAIN. SKIN: SEVERE PAIN,
BURNS, REDNESS, RASH, I TCHING. INGESTION: BURNS OF MOUTH, THROAT,
AND ESOPHAGUS, SEVERE STOMACH PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH A HISTORY OF AILMENTS
OR WITH A PRE-EXISTING DISEASE INVOLVING THE RESPIRATORY TRACT OR
TEETH MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK FROM EXPOSURE.
======================= 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 PROMPT 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 =====================
Extinguishing Media:USE DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, HALOGEN.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE OF WATER IN EXTINGUISHING BURNING
BATTERIES MAY CAUSE SPATTERING DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF MOLTEN LEAD.
WEAR SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:AFTER ELECTROLYTE IS ADDED AND BATTERY IS
BEING CHARGED, HYDROGEN GAS IS PRODUCED. BATTERY MAY EXPLODE IF
HYDROGEN GAS TRAPPED INSIDE THE CASE SHOULD IGNITE.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:SHOULD A BATTERY BREAK OPEN, ISOLATE AREA.
ELECTROLYTE SHOULD BE ABSORBED WITH A NON-ORGANIC TYPE ABSORBENT
SUCH AS DRY SAND OR EARTH. AVOID DILUTION WITH WATER. LEAD SPILLED
FROM THE BATTERY SHOULD B E VACUUMED, DO NOT SWEEP OR USE
COMPRESSED AIR.
Neutralizing Agent:USE SODA ASH OR BAKING SODA TO NEUTRALIZE THE
ELECTROLYTE.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID THE USE OF UNINSULATED TOOLS. IF
THEY ARE REQUIRED, TAKE CARE NOT TO ELECTRICALLY SHORT THE
TERMINALS. REMOVE METAL JEWELRY BEFORE SERVICING.
Other Precautions:UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE, EXPOSURE TO LEAD OR
LEAD CONTAINING COMPOUNDS DOES NOT OCCUR. SHOULD A BATTERY BREAK
OPEN AND A LEAD SPILL OCCUR, PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PREVENT
LEAD DUST FROM BECOMING AIR BORNE.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE, RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION IS NOT REQUIRED. HOWEVER, IF CONDITIONS ARISE THAT
REQUIRE THEIR USE, USE ONLY NIOSH/MSHA RESPIRATORS APPROVED FOR
DUST, FUME AND MIST.
Ventilation:BATTERY CHARGING AREAS MUST BE ADEQUATELY VENTILATED TO
PREVENT HAZARDOUS CONCENTRATIONS OF FLAMMABLE GAS OR ACID MIST.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER GLOVES APPROVED FOR SULFURIC ACID
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES AND FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER.
INDUSTRIAL-TYPE IMPERVIOUS WORK CLOTHING, BOOTS AND APRON AS
REQUIRED.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
