===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: (LEAD COMPOUNDS)SYMPTOMS OF
TOXICITY INCLUDE HEADACHE, FATUGUE, ABDOMINAL PAIN, LOSS OF
APPETITE, MUSCULAR ACHES AND WEAKNESS, SLEEP DISTURBANCES &
IRRITABILITY. CHRONIC: (LEAD COMPOUNDS) ANEMI A, NEUROPATHY,
PARTICULARLY OF THE MOTOR NERVES, WITH WRIST DROP; KIDNEY DAMAGE;
REPRODUCTIVE CHANGES IN BOTH MALES AND FEMALES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LEAD COMPOUNDS: LISTED AS A 2B
CARCINOGEN, LIKELY IN ANIMALS AT EXTREME DOSES. PROOF OF
CARCINOGENICITY IN HUMANS IS LACKING AT PRESENT. ARSENIC: IS A
LISTED CARCINOGEN BY OSHA, NTP & IARC.
Effects of Overexposure:LEAD COMPOUNDS: INHALATION-INHALATION OF DUST
OR FUMES MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF UPPER RESPIRATORT TRACT AND LUNGS.
INGESTION-ACUTE INGESTION MAY CAUSE ABDOMINAL PAIN, NAUSEA,
VOMITING, DIARRHEA & SEVER E CRAMPING. THIS MAY LEAD RAPIDLY TO
SYSTEMIC TOXICITY AND MUST BE TREATED BY A PHYSICIAN. SKIN-NOT
ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. EYE-MAY CAUSE EYE IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS CAN
AGGRAVATE SOME FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:LEAD: INHALATION-REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE, GARGLE, WASH NOSE AND
LIPS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. INGESTION-CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN-WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP AND WATER. EYES-FLUSH IMMEDIATELY
WITH LA RGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN; CONSULT
PHYSICIAN.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:ANY FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA MAY BE USED. INORGANIC
LEAD COMPOUND IS NOT A COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL, NOR WILL IT EXPLODE
UNDER CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL BODY PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH POSITIVE PRESSURE AND FULL
FACE PIECE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:AVOID RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION, KEEP
SPARKS OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION AWAY FROM BATTERIES & DO NOT
ALLOW METALLIC MATERIALS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTACT NEGATIVE AND/OR
POSITIVE TERMINALS OF CELLS & BATTERIES. FOLLOW MANUFACTURERS
INSTRUCTIONS: INSTALL/SERVICE.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:LEAD DUST OR PARTICULATE SHOULD BE VACUUMED
(USING HEPA FILTER) OR WET-SWEPT; USING CONTROLS WHICH MINIMIZE
FUGITIVE EMISSIONS; DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR. PLACE IN DRY, CLOSED
CONTAINERS FOR DISPOSAL OR RECYCLING.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE BATTERIES IN COOL, DRY,
WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. BATTERIES SHOULD BE STORED UNDER ROOF FOR
PROTECTION AGAINST ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. SEPERATE FROM
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. STORE/HANDLE ONLY IN AREAS WITH ADEQUATE
WATER SUPPLY. AVOID DAMAGE TO CONTAINERS. KEEP AWAY FROM
FIRE/,SPARKS/ HEAT.
Other Precautions:PRECAUTIONARY LABELLING: POISON - CAUSES SEVERE
BURNS. LEAD COMPOUNDS: HAZARDOUS EXPOSURE CAN OCCUR ONLY WHEN
PRODUCT IS HEATED ABOVE MELTING POINT, OXIDIZED OR OTHERWISE
PROCESSED OR DAMAGED TO CREAT E DUST, VAPOR OR FUME.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
Ventilation:STORE & HANDLE IN DRY, VENTILATED AREA.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR PLASTIC ACID-RESISTANT W/ ELBOW-LENGTH
GAUNTLET WHEN FILLING BATTERY
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD WHEN FILLING OR HANDLING
BATTERIES.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR COVERALLS OR FULL-BODY COVERING DURING
USE. WHEN FILLING BATTERIES USE ACID-RESISTANT APRON. UNDER SEVERE
EXPOSURE OR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING AND
BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:HANDLE BATTERIES CAUTIOUSLY TO AVOID SPILLS.
MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. AVOID CONTACT WITH INTERNAL
COMPONENTS. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN FILLING OR HANDLING
