===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: BREATHING OF SULFURIC ACID
VAPORS OR MISTS MAY CAUSE SEVERE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. INGESTION:
MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION OF MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS AND
STOMACH. SKIN: SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS AND ULCERATION. EYE:
SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS AND ULCERATION. EYE: SEVERE IRRITATION,
BURNS, CORNEA DAMAGE, BLINDNESS. ACUTE: SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION,
DAMAGE TO CORNEA, UPPER RESPIRATORY IRR ITATION. CHRONIC:
POSSIBLE EROSION OF TOOTH ENAMEL; INFLAMMATION OF NOSE, THROAT,
AND BRONCHIAL TUBES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LEAD COMPUNDS:LISTED AS A IARC 2B
CARCINOGEN. SULFURIC ACID:IARC LIST "STRONG INORGANIC ACID MIST
CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS A CATAGORY 1 CARCINOGEN. THIS DOES NOT
APPLY TO LIQUID FORMS OF SULFURIC ACID OR SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS
CONTAINED IN A BATTERY. ARSENIC:LISTED BY NTP, IARC, OSHA & NIOSH
AS A CARCONOGEN ONLY AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE AT HIGH LEVELS.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: IRRITATION OF UPPER RESPIRATORY
TRACT AND LUNGS. INGESTION: ABDOMINAL PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING,
DIARRHEA, AND SEVERE CRAMPING. MAY LEAD RAPIDLY TO SYSTEMIC
TOXICITY AND MUST BE TREATED BY A PHYSICIAN. SKIN: SEVERE
IRRITATION, BURNS, AND ULCERATION. EYE: IRRITATION, BURNS,
CORNEA DAMAGE, BLINDNESS. ACUTE: HEADACHE, FATIGUE, ABDOMINAL
PAIN, LOSS OF APPETITE, MUSCULAR ACHES AND WEAKNE SS, SLEEP
DISTURBANCES AND IRRITABILITY. CHRONIC: ANEMIA; NEUROPATHY,
PARTICULARLY OF THE MOTOR NERVES, WITH WRIST DROP; KIDNEY DAMAGE;
REPRODUCTIVE CHANGES IN BOTH MALES AND FEMALES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS CAN
AGGRAVATE CHRONIC FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.
OVEREXPOSURE SULFURIC ACID MAY AGGRAVATE SKIN DISEASES & PULMONARY
CONDITIONS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION - SULFURIC ACID: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY.
IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. LEAD - REMOVE FROM
EXPOSURE, GARGLE, WASH NOSE AND LIPS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. INGESTION
- SULFRIC A CID: GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER; DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. LEAD - CONSULT PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY. SKIN - SULFURIC ACID: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF
WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTE S; REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
COMPLETELY, INCLUDING SHOES. LEAD - WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP AND
WATER. EYE: FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LAREGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR
AT LEAST 15 MINUTES; CONSULT PHYSIC IAN.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Lower Limits:4.1% H2
Upper Limits:74.2% H2
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF BATTERIES ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER. USE
POSITIVE PRESSURE SELFCONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. WATER APPLIED
TO ELECTROLYTE GENERATES HEAT AND CAUSES IT TO SPATTER. WEAR
ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HIGHLY FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS IS
GENERATED DURING CHARGING & OPERATION OF BATTERIES. TO AVOID RISK
OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION, KEEP SPARKS AWAY FROM BATTERIES. DO NOT ALLOW
METALLIC MATERIALS TO SIMULTANE OUSLY CONTACT NEGATIVE & POSITIVE
TERMINALS OF CELLS AND BATTERS. FOLLOW MANUFACTURER`S INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INSTALLATION.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:STOP FLOW OF MATERIAL. CONTAIN/ABSORB WITH DRY
SAND, EARTH, VERMICULITE. DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IF
POSSIBLE, CAREFULLY NEUTRALIZE SPILLED ELECTROLYTE WITH SODA ASH,
SODIUM BICARBONATE, LIME , ETC. WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING,
BOOTS, GLOVES AN FACE SHIELD. DO NOT ALLOW DISCHARGE OF
UNNEUTRALIZED ACIDE IN SEWER.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, LIME,
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE UNDER ROOF IN COOL, DRY,
VENTILATED PLACE. SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS . STORE ON
SMOOTH, IMPERVIOUS SURFACES & IN AREAS WITH ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY &
SPILL CONTROL. HANDLE CAREFULLY & AVOID TIPPING, WHICH MAY ALLOW
ELECTROLYTE LEAKAGE.
Other Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM METALLIC OBJECTS WHICH COULD BRIDGE
THE TERMINALS ON A BATTERY AND CREATE A DANGEROUS SHORT-CIRCUIT.
SINGLE BATTERIES POSE NO RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK BUT THERE MAY BE
INCREASING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM STRING OF CONNECTED
BATTERIES EXCEEDING THREE 12-VOLT UNITS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WHEN
CONCENTRATIONS OF SULFURIC ACID MISTS ARE KNOWN TO EXCEED PEL, USE
NIOSH OR MSHA-APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
Ventilation:STORE AND HANDLE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA. IF MECHANICAL
VENTILATION IS USED, COMPONENTS MUST BE ACID-RESISTANT.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR PLASTIC ACID-RESISTANT GLOVES WITH
ELOW-LENGTH GAUNTLET.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD.
Other Protective Equipment:ACIE RESISTANT APRON. UNDER SEVERE EXPOSURE
OR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING, GLOVES AND
BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:HANDLE BATTERIES CAUTIOUSLY, DO NOT TIP TO
AVOID SPILLS. MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. AVOID BODILY
CONTACT WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
Supplemental Safety and Health
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, EYE AND FACE PROTECTION, WHEN FILLING OR
HANDLING BATTERIES. EMERGENCY FLUSHING: IN AREAS WHERE WATER AND
SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS ARE HANDLED IN CONCENTRATIONS > 1%,
EMERGENC Y EYE WASH STATIONS AND SHOWERS SHOULD BE PROVIDED, WITH
UNLIMITED WATER SUPPLY.
