Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: EYES, SKIN, RESPIRATORY
    SYSTEM (HMIS).  ACUTE AND CHRONIC - IF CELL SEAL IS BROKEN, THE
    SUBSTANCE AND VAPORS HAVE A CORROSIVE EFFECTS ON THE SKIN AND
    MUCOUS MEMBRANES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NO
Effects of Overexposure:BURNS AND IRRITATION TO RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:ASTHMA AND OTHER RESPIRATORY
    DISEASES.

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

First Aid:IN CASE OF CONTACT WITH EYES, FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER
    FOR 15 MINUTES; WITH SKIN, WASH WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND TAKE OFF
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHES; INHALATION, REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE - SEEK
    MEDICAL ADVIS E.

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

Extinguishing Media:USE WATER OR CO2 ON BURNING LITHIUM THIONYL
    CHLORIDE CELLS OR BATTERIES. USE A CLASS D FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENT
    ONLY ON A RAW LITHIUM FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:GENERATION OF CHLORINE, SULFUR DIOXIDE,
    DISULFUR DICHLORIDE DURING THERMAL DECOMPOSITION.

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

Spill Release Procedures:COVER WITH SODIUM CARBONATE OR 1:1 MIXTURE OF
    SODA ASH AND SLAKED LIME.  PRECIPITATE ESCAPING GASES/VAPORS BY
    SPRAYING WATER. ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION OR EXHAUST VENTILATION
    IN THE WORKING AREA.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM CARBONATE

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CONTAINER DRY AND TIGHTLY CLOSED
    IN A COOL (MAX 50 DEGREE C) AND WELL VENTILATED PLACE. STORE AWAY
    FROM FOOD AND DRINK. LITHIUM BATTERIES OR INDIVIDUAL CELLS SHOULD
    NOT BE RECHARGED, SHORT CIRCUI TED, PUNCTURED OR MUTILATED IN ANY
    WAY OR EXPOSED TO TEMPERATURE IN EXCESS OF 85C (185F).
Other Precautions:IF CONTAMINATION WITH MOISTURE OCCURS, PRODUCT WILL
    RELEASE GAS CAUSING A PRESSURE BUILD-UP. TERMINALS SHOULD NOT BE
    EXPOSED TO WATER, CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS OR CORROSIVE COMPOUNDS. IF
    LITHIUM BATTERIES  ARE EXPOSED TO A BUILDING FIRE, WITH NO EXPOSED
    LITHIUM FOIL, THEY SHOULD BE COOLED WITH LARGE AMOU NT OF WATER.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION OR EXHAUST
    VENTILATION IN THE WORKING AREA.
Ventilation:ENSURE ADEQUATE EXHAUST VENTILATION IN THE WORKING AREA.
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS.
Work Hygienic Practices:KEEP ONLY IN THE ORIGINAL CONTAINER - HANDLE
    AND OPEN CONTAINER WITH CARE - ENSURE EFFECTIVE VENTILATION.
