===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:TLV FOR SULFURIC ACID: 1 MG/M3
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: NERVOUS SYSTEM, BLOOD
SYSTEM AND KIDNEYS. ACUTE - EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: INHALATION:
SULFURIC ACID MISTS IRRITATE NOSE AND THROAT AND MAY CAUSE
RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTY. EYE: SULFURIC A CID MISTS OR LIQUID
IRRITATES EYES AND MAY CAUSE CHEMICAL BURNS. SEVERITY DEPENDS ON
ACID CONCENTRATION AND DURATION OF CONTACT. SCARING OF THE CORNEA
IS POSSIBLE. SKIN: SULFURIC ACID MISTS OR LIQUID IRRITATES SKIN
AND MAY CAUSE CHEMICAL BURNS. INGESTION: SULFURIC ACID MISTS OR
LIQUID IRRITATES THE MUCOUS MEMBRANE AND MAY CAUSE CHEMICAL BURNS.
CHRONIC - REPEATED PROLONGED EXPOSURE BY INGESTION MAY DAMAGE
TOOTH ENAMEL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS LEAD.
Effects of Overexposure:SEVERE BURNS, SEVERE IRRITATION, SEVERE PAIN,
NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA, DEEP SKIN ULCERS, BLISTERING, ITCHING,
WATERING OF EYES, REDNESS, COUGHING, CHOCKING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH,
BREATHING DIFFICUL TY, EROSION OF TOOTH ENAMEL
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PULMONARY EDEMA, BRONCHITIS,
EMPHYSEMA, ECZEMA, CONTACT DERMATITIS, DENTAL EROSION
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY IN ALL CASES OF EXPOSURE.
INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE. EYES: FORCE EYES OPEN AND RINSE
WITH CLEAN, COOL, RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. DO NOT USE EYE
DROPS OR O TEHR MEDICATION UNLESS ADVISED TO DO SO BY A DOCTOR.
SKIN: FLUSH THE EXPOSED WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF RUNNING WATER FOR 15
MINUTES. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. IF VICT IM IS CONSCIOUS, DRINK LARGE QUANTITY OF MILK OR
WATER. FOLLOW WITH MILK OF MAGNESIA, BEATEN EGG, EGG WHITES OR
VEGETABLE OIL.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:CLASS ABC EXTINGUISHER, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM,
HALON, WATER SPRAY
Fire Fighting Procedures:COOL EXTERIOR OF BATTERY IF EXPOSED TO FIRE TO
PREVENT RUPTURE. ACID MISTS AND VAPORS IN A FIRE ARE CORROSIVE.
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS
(SCBA).
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN GASES ARE PRODUCED
DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION AND CHARGING. THESE GASES ESCAPE
THROUGH THE BATTERY VENTS AND MAY FORM AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
AROUND THE BATTERY IF VENTILATION IS POOR. SULFURIC ACID CAN
IGNITE COMBUSTIBLES.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:SMALL SPILL: NEUTRALIZE WITH BAKING SODA,
HOUSEHOLD AMMONIA AND/OR WATER. RINSE CLEAN. LARGE SPILL: DIKE AND
NEUTRALIZE WITH SODA ASH, QUICKLIME. COVER SPILL WITH NEUTRALIZING
AGENT. MIX WELL. WHEN M IXTURE IS NEUTRAL, COLLECT RESIDUE IN A
SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR DISPOSAL. WEAR ACID RESISTANT BOOTS, FACE
SHIELD, CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES, AND ACID RESISTANT GLOVES. DO NOT
RELEASE UNNEUTRALIZED ACID.
Neutralizing Agent:BAKING SODA (SODIUM BICARBONATE), HOUSEHOLD AMMONIA,
SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE), QUICKLIME (CALCIUM OXIDE)
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE BATTERIES UNDER ROOF IN COOL,
DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES. BATTERIES
MUST BE KEPT IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. STACK BATTERIES SO AS TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTAL CONTACT BETWEEN TEM INALS. KEEP A SUPPLY OF
NEUTRALIZING AGENT IN OR NEAR STORAGE AREA FOR EMERGENCY USE.
Other Precautions:USE A BATTERY CARRIER TO LIFT A BETTERY OR PLACE
HANDS AT OPPOSITE CORNERS TO AVOID SPILLING ACIDS THROUGH THE
VENTS. AVOID CONTACT WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF BATTERIES. DO NOT
TILT BATTERIES TO AN A NGLE GREATER THAN 45 DEGREES. DO NOT SMOKE
WHEN WORKING NEAR A BATTERY. PREVENT SHORT CIRCUIT.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION WHEN
CONCENTRATIONS EXCEED EXPOSURE GUIDELINES.
Ventilation:MUST BE PROVIDED WHEN CHARGING IN AN ENCLOSED AREA (29 CFR
1910.178(G) AND 305 (J)(7).
Protective Gloves:ACID RESISTANT GLOVES SUCH AS RUBBER, NEOPRENE, VINYL
COATED, PVC
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES OR A FULL FACE SHIELD WITH
SAFETY GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment:ACID RESISTANT CLOTHING WITH RUBBER/NEOPRENE
BOOTS FOR MAJOR SPILL CLEAN UP. LAB APRON, ACID RESISTANT
STEEL-TOED BOOTS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. FIRE CODES MAY REQUIRE
EXPLOSION PROOF FANS AND EQUIPMENT
Work Hygienic Practices:FOLLOW GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES. KEEP
WORK AREA CLEAN. WASH AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE EATING, DRINKING
OR SMOKING.

=================== Toxicological Information ===================
Toxicological Information:WET STORAGE BATTERIES ARE SEALED ARTICLES.
EXPOSURE TO LEAD, ACID AND LEAD CONTAMINATED ACID IS NOT
ANTICIPATED DURING NORMAL STORAGE, HANDLING AND INTENDED USE OR
MAINTENANCE OF THE BATTERY. LEAD: PO ISON. INHALATION IS MUCH MORE
IMPORTANT THAN IS INGESTION. SYSTEMIC EFFECTS INCLUDE LOSS OF

OF AS A HAZARDOUS WASTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE, AND
FEDERAL REGULATIONS. DO NOT FLUSH LEAD CONTAMINATED ACID INTO THE
SEWER.
