=====================  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: SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION, DAMAGE
    TO CORNEA, UPPER RESPIRATORY. CHRONIC: POSSIBLE EROSION OF TOOTH
    ENAMEL; INFLAMMATION OF NOSE, THROAT, AND BRONCHIAL TUBES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS I	  A	  [7440-38-2]
    WHICH IS LISTED BY NTP AND IARC AND REGULATED BY OSHA AS A
    CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION-MAY CAUSE SEVERE RESPIRATORY
    IRRITATION. INGESTION-SEVERE IRRITATION OF MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS
    & STOMACH. SKIN-SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS & ULCERATIONS. EYE-SEVERE
    IRRITATION, BURNS, CORNEA  DAMAGE, BLINDNESS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:OVEREXPOSURE TO SULFURIC ACID MIST
    MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE & AGGRAVATE PULMONARY CONDITIONS. CONTACT OF
    SULFURIC ACID WITH SKIN MAY AGGRIVATE SKIN DISEASES SUCH AS ECZEMA
    AND CONTACT DERMATITIS.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION-REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF BREATHING IS
    DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. INGESTION-GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER;
    DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. SKIN-FLUSH WITH LARGE
    AMOUNTS O F WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
    COMPLETELY. EYES-FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR
    AT LEAST 15 MIN; CONSULT PHYSICIAN.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Lower Limits:4.1,HYDROGEN
Upper Limits:74.2HYDROGEN
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF BATTERIES ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER. USE
    POSITIVE PRESSURE SCBA. WATER APPLIED TO ACID GENERATES HEAT AND
    CAUSES SPATTER. WEAR ACID RESISTANT CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HIGHLY FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS IS
    GENERATED DURING CHARGING & OPERATION OF BATTERY. TO AVOID RISK OF
    FIRE OR EXPLOSION, KEEP SPARKS AWAY FROM BATTERIES.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:STOP FLOW OF MATERIAL, CONTAIN/ABSORB SPILL
    WITH SAND, EARTH, OR VERMICULITE. DO NOT USE COMBUSTABLE MATERIALS.
    NEUTRALIZE WITH SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, AND LIME. WEAR
    ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING, BO OTS & FACE SHIELD.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE), BAKING SODA, OR QUICK
    LIME (CALCIUM OXIDE).

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED
    AREA WITH IMPERVIOUS SURFACES AND ADEQUATE CONTAINMENT IN THE EVENT
    OF SPILLS. AVOID PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO CONTAINERS
Other Precautions:BATTERIES SHOULD BE STORED UNDER ROOF FOR PROTECTION
    AGAINST ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE
    MATERIALS. KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE,SPARKS AND HEAT. STORE AND HANDLE
    ONLY IN AREAS WITH	ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY AND SPILL CONTROL.

=============  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 AND HANDLE IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS. IF MECHANICAL
    VENTILATION IS USED, COMPONENTS MUST BE ACID-RESISTANT.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER/PLASTIC GLOVES WITH GAUNTLET.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD.
Other Protective Equipment:ACID-RESISTANT APRON. UNDER SEVERE EXPOSURE
    OR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING & BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE EATNG, DRINKING
    OR SMOKING. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
IN AREAS WHERE SULFURIC ACID IS HANDLED IN CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN
    1%, EMERGENCY EYEWASH STATIONS AND SHOWERS SHOULD BE PROVIDED, WITH
    UNLIMITED WATER SUPPLY.
