===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM,
EYES, SKIN AND TEETH. ACUTE- SULFURIC ACID MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF
EYES, NOSE, AND THROAT. PROLONGED CONTACT MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
CHRONIC- REPEATED CONTACT CAUS ES IRRITATION AND SKIN BURNS.
REPEATED EXPOSURE TO MIST MAY CAUSE ERROSION OF TEETH, CHRONIC EYE
IRRITATION AND/OR CHRONIC INFLAMMATION OF THE NOSE, THROAT, AND
BRONCHIAL TUBES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SULFURIC ACID MIST: ACGIH- SUSPECTED
HUMAN CARCINOGEN. NTP- REASONABLY ANTICIPATED TO BE A CARCINOGEN.
LEAD: PROOF OF CARCINOGENICITY IN HUMANS IS LACKING AT PRESENT.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PULMONARY EDEMA, BRONCHITIS,
EMPHYSEMA, DENTAL ERROSION, AND TRACEOBRONCHITIS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:EYES & SKIN: FLUSH CONTACTED AREA WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER
FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND OBTAIN
MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: GIVE LARGE VOLUMES OF WATER. DO NOT
INDUCE VOM ITING. OBTAIN MEDICAL TREATMENT. E
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Lower Limits:4
Upper Limits:74
Extinguishing Media:AIR EXPLOSION LIMITS: HYDROGEN GAS. CLASS
ABC EXTINGUISHER, CO2.
Fire Fighting Procedures:COOL EXTERIOR OF BATTERY IF EXPOSED TO FIRE TO
PREVENT RUPTURE. THE ACID MIST AND VAPORS IN A FIRE SITUATION ARE
CORROSIVE. WEAR SPECIAL RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SCBA) AND CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN GAS, WHICH MAY EXPLODE IF
IGNITED, IS PRODUCED BY THIS BATTERY ESPECIALLY WHEN CHARGING. USE
ADEQUATE VENTILATION, AVOID OPEN FLAMES, SPARKS, OR OTHER SOURCES
OF IGNITION. CONTACT OF ACID WITH METALS MAY PRODUCE TOXIC
SULFUR DIOXIDE FUMES AND MAY RELEASE FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:DILUTE SPILL CAUTIOUSLY WITH FIVE TO SIX
VOLUMES OF WATER AND GRADUALLY NEUTRALIZE WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE,
SODA ASH OR LIME. WHEN EXPOSURE LEVEL IS NOT KNOWN, WEAR NIOSH
APPROVED POSITIVE PRESSURE SE LF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM BICARBONATE
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE AWAY FROM REACTIVE MATERIAL.
Other Precautions:SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODA ASH, SAND, OR LIME SHOULD BE
KEPT IN SAME GENERAL AREA FOR EMERGENCY USE. IF BATTERY CASE IS
BROKEN, AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:RESPIRATOR REQUIRED WHEN PEL IS EXCEEDED OR
EMPLOYEE WITNESSES RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
Ventilation:MUST BE PROVIDED WHEN CHARGING IN AN ENCLOSED AREA.
29CFR1910.178(G) AND .305(J) (7).MECHANICAL(GENERAL) ACCEPTABLE AT
1 TO 4 (SEE SUPPL DATA).
