    FIRST AID PROCEDURES). THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (TLV) AND SOUCRE: N/A.
    CHRONIC:  NOTE:  MERCURY APPEARS ON THE NAVY LIST OF OCCUPATIONAL
    CHEMICAL REPRODUCTIVE HAZARDS.   SEEK CONSULTATION FROM APPROPRIATE
    HEALTH PROFESSIONALS CONCERNING LATEST HAZARD LIST INFO AND SAFE
    HANDLING AND EXPOSURE INFORMATION .
Effects of Overexposure:SEE HEALTH HAZARDS.

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

First Aid:SKIN AND EYES: IN THE EVENT THAT BATTERY RUPTURES, FLUSH WITH
    COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. GET IMMEDIATE
    MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR EYES. WASH SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER.	INHAL: 
    REM OVE TO FRESH AIR.  SUPPORT BREATHING (GIVE O*2/ARTF RESP) .

Lower Limits:NA
Upper Limits:NA
Extinguishing Media:IN BULK STORAGE AREAS , USE FOAM OR DRY POWDER.
    WATER MAY CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHORTS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT  TO AVOID INHALATION OF HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:LIKE ANY SEALED CONTAINER, BATTERY CELLS
    MAY RUPTURE WHEN EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE HEAT; THIS COULD RESULT IN
    THE RELEASE OF CORROSIVE MATERIALS.

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

Spill Release Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF BATTERY RUPTURE, COLLECT ALL
    RELEASED MATERIAL IN PLASTIC BAG FOR WASTE DISPOSAL. REPORTING
    PROCEDURE: REPORT ALL SPILLS IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE AND LOCAL
    REGULATIONS. INDIVIDUAL CELL S DO NOT CONTAIN REPORTABLE QUANTITIES
    OF ANY SUBSTANCE ON SARA OR CERCLA LISTS. EXEMPT UNLESS OVER 4,000
    POUNDS OF BATTERIES ARE KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN SOMEHOW OPENED TO
    ENVIRONMENT.

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