=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:SEE TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES	  OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: SKIN, EYES, UPPER
    RESPIRATORY TRACT. ACUTE: TISSUE DESTRUCTION ON CONTACT. MAY CAUSE
    2ND AND 3RD DEGREE BURNS OR BLINDNESS. INGESTION WILL CAUSE
    CORROSIVE BURNS ON CONTACT. MAY BE FATAL  IF SWALLOWED. CHRONIC:
    INHALATION OF MISTS MAY CAUSE UPPER RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. LEAD
    APPEARS ON THE NAVY LISTING OF OCCUPATIONAL CHEMICAL REPRODUCTIVE
    HAZARDS. SEEK CONSULTATION FROM APPROPRIATE H EALTH PROFESSIONALS
    CONCERNING LATEST HAZARD LIST INFORMATION AND SAFE HANDLING AND
    EXPOSURE INFORMATION .
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:ANTIMONY: IARC MONOGRAPHS, VOLUME 47,
    PAGE 291, 1998: GROUP 2B. ANIMAL: NEOPLASTIGENIC, CVS & LUNG
    EFFECTS. ARSENIC: IARC MONOGRAPHS, SUPPLEMENT, VOLUME 7, PAGE 100,
    1998: GROUP 1. NTP 8TH ANNUAL REPO RT ON CARCINS, 1998: KNOWN TO BE
    CARCIN. OSHA REGULATED: CFR 29 1910.1018. SULFURIC ACID: IARC
    MONOGRAPHS, VOLUME 54, PG 41, 1998: GROUP 1. ANIMAL: PULM IRRIT.
Effects of Overexposure:IRRITATION AND BURNING OF EXPOSED TISSUES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:RESPIRATORY DISORDERS MAY BE
    AGGRAVATED BY PROLONGED INHALATION OF MISTS.

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

First Aid:SKIN/EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. REMOVE
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. IF IRRITATION CONTINUES, SEEK MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DRINK LARGE
    QUANTITIES OF MILK OR  WATER. GIVE CPR IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED.
    SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH
    AIR. SUPPORT BREATHING (GIVE OXYGEN OR ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION) .

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

Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, HALON, OR CARBON DIOXIDE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT . VENTILATE AREA WELL. SCBA AND ACID-PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
    ARE RECOMMENDED.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN GAS MAY BE PRESENT. HYDROGEN GAS
    AND ACID MIST ARE GENERATED UPON OVERCHARGE OR IN FIRE. VENTILATE
    AREA.

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

Spill Release Procedures:NEUTRALIZE ANY SPILLED ELECTROLYTE/EXPOSED
    BATTERY PARTS W/SODA ASH OR SODIUM BICARBONATE UNTIL FIZZING STOPS.
    PH SHOULD BE NEUTRAL AT 6-8. WHEN NEUTRALIZED, SPILL IS
    NON-HAZARDOUS. KEEP UNTRAINED IND IVIDUALS AWAY FROM SPILLED
    MATERIAL. PLACE BROKEN BATTERY IN HEAVY GAUGE PLASTIC BAG/OTHER
    NON-METALLIC CONTAINER. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION, HYDROGEN GAS
    MAY BE GIVEN OFF DURING NEUTRALIZATION.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH OR SODIUM BICARBONATE.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY AREA AWAY FROM
    COMBUSTIBLES. DO NOT STORE IN SEALED, UNVENTILATED AREAS. AVOID
    OVERHEATING AND OVERCHARGING. DO NOT USE ORGANIC SOLVENTS OR OTHER
    THAN RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL CLEANER S ON THE BATTERY.

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

Respiratory Protection:NIOSH APPROVED ACID MIST RESPIRATOR, IF OSHA PEL
    IS EXCEEDED.
Ventilation:GENERAL ROOM VENTILATION IS SUFFICIENT DURING NORMAL USE
    AND HANDLING. RECOMMEND 2 TO 3 ROOM AIR CHANGES PER HOUR TO PREVENT
    BUILDUP OF HYDROGEN GAS.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR NEOPRENE GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES AND FULL LENGTH
    FACESHIELD .
Other Protective Equipment:EYEWASH AND DELUGE SHOWER MEETING ANSI
    DESIGN CRITERIA . ACID RESISTANT APRON OR CLOTHES.
Work Hygienic Practices:DO NOT WEAR METALLIC JEWELRY WHEN WORKING WITH
    BATTERIES. USE NON-CONDUCTIVE TOOLS ONLY. DISCHARGE STATIC
    ELECTRICITY PRIOR TO WORKING ON A BATTERY. MAINTAIN AN EYEWASH,
    FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND (SUP DAT)
Supplemental Safety and Health
HYGIENE PRACTICES: EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DEVICE IN THE WORK AREA.

===================  Toxicological Information	===================

Toxicological Information:(UNDER NORM USE & HNDLG THERE IS NO EXPOS TO
    LEAD CONTENTS.) LD50 (ORAL, RAT): 2140 MG/KG. LDLO (UNREPORTED,
    MAN): 135 MG/KG. LC50 (INHAL, RAT): 510 MG/M3. CARCIN: IARC HAS
    CLASSIFIED "STRONG INORG AC ID MISTS CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS
    CATEGORY 1 CARCIN (INHAL), SUBSTANCE THAT IS CARCIN TO HUMANS.
