===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:NOT RELEVENT
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:NO Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS:NONE. THESE CHEMICALS
ARE CONTAINED IN A SEALED CAN. RISK OF EXPOSURE OCCURS ONLY IF CELL
IS PHYSICALLY/ELECTRICALLY ABUSED. ACUTE- MOST LIKELY RISK IS WHEN
A CELL LEAKS. KOH IS CAUSTIC. CAN CAUSE SKIN BURNS, EYE INJURY. AT
ELEVATED TEMPERATURES, HG VAPOR PRODUCES MERCURY INTOXICATION.
CHRONIC- UNKNOWN.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:NONE IF BATTERY IS NOT BROKEN OR IN FIRE. IF
LEAKING: BURNS, SEVERE EYE INJURY, MERCURY INTOXICATION
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:IF INGESTED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING NOR GIVE FOOD/DRINK. SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. CALL NATIONAL BATTERY INGESTION
HOTLINE FOR ADVICE (202-625-3333). IF INHALED, PROVIDE FRESH AIR &
CALL A D OCTOR. IF LEAKAGE FROM CELL COMES INTO CONTACT WITH SKIN,
FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS, SEE DOCTOR.
FOR EYE, FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. SEE
PHYSICIAN.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NOT RELEVANT
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM OR DRY CHEMICAL
FOR SURROUNDING FIRE. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED
CONTAINERS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPROVED
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN A LARGE NUMBER OF CELLS ARE
INVOLVED IN A FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:LIKE ANY SEALED CONTAINER, BATTERY CELLS
MAY RUPTURE RESULTING IN RELEASE OF CORROSIVE MATERIALS AND TOXIC
MERCURY FUMES.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:IF BROKEN, COLLECT AND TRANSFER TO PROPER
CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. WEAR GLOVES. DO NOT BREATHE VAPORS.
VENTILATE AREA.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT RELEVANT
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE AT ROOM TEMPERATURES. ELEVATED
TEMPERATURES CAN RESULT IN SHORTENED BATTERY LIFE. KEEP OUT OF
REACH OF SMALL CHILDREN.
Other Precautions:DO NOT CARRY BATTERIES LOOSE IN POCKET OR BAG. AVOID
SHORT CIRCUITS. AVOID MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL ABUSE. DO NOT OPEN
BATTERY, DISPOSE IN FIRE, RECHARGE, PUT IN BACKWARDS. MAY EXPLODE
OR LEAK AND CAU SE PERSONAL INJURY.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NOT NECESSARY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE.
WEAR NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN CELLS
ARE INVOLVED IN A FIRE.
Ventilation:NOT NECESSARY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE. SUBSEQUENT TO
A FIRE, PROVIDE AS MUCH VENTILATION AS POSSIBLE.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE IF HANDLING LEAKERS
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES+SIDE SHIELDS FOR LEAKERS
Other Protective Equipment:SAFETY SHOWER AND EYE WASH FOUNTAIN SHOULD
BE LOCATED NEARBY. WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR RISK OF
EXPOSURE.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES.
