===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CHRONIC- PROLONGED CONTACT TO STRONG
ACID FUMES MAY RESULT IN EROSION OF TOOTH ENAMEL. REPEATED CONTACT
WITH SULFURIC ACID BATTERY ELECTROLYTE FLUID MAY CAUSE DRYING OF
THE SKIN WHICH MAY RESULT IN I RRITATION & DERMATITIS. PROLONGED
INHALATION OF A MIST OF SULFURIC ACID CAN CAUSE INFLAMMATION OF THE
UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT LEADING TO CHRONIC BRONCHITIS. ACUTE-
SHORT TERM LIQUID OR VAPOR CONTACT MAY RESULT IN EYE IRRITATION &
ACID BURNS. BREATHING MIST PRODUCES RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTY, CONTACT
WITH SKIN CAUSES IRRITATION AND SKIN BURNS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:IARC HAS CLASSIFIED STRONG INORGANIC
ACID MIST CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID AS A CATEGORY 1 CARCINOGEN, A
SUBSTANCE THAT IS CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SULFURIC ACID MIST MAY IRRITATE
BRONCHIAL SYSTEMS, EYE & SKIN.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: MOVE TO VENTILATED AREA. OBTAIN MEDICAL
ATTENTION. EYES: WASH THE EYES WITH COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF RUNNING
WATER FOR 15 MIN. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH AREA WITH
LARGE AMOUNTS OF RUNNING WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND
OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: WASH OUT MOUTH WITH RUNNING
WATER. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL PHYSICIAN.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Lower Limits:4.1, H2
Upper Limits:74.2, H2
Extinguishing Media:HALON, DRY CHEMICAL
Fire Fighting Procedures:LEAD/ACID BATTERIES DO NOT BURN, OR BURN WITH
DIFFICULTY. EXTINGUISH FIRE WITH AGENT SUITABLE TO SURROUNDING
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. COOL EXTERIOR OF BATTERY OF EXPOSED TO FIRE
TO PREVENT RUPTURE. THE ACID MIST AND VAPORS GENERATED BY HEAT OR
FIRE ARE CORROSIVE. WEAR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SCBA) AND
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN GAS AND SULFURLE ACID VAPORS ARE
GENERATED UPON OVERCHARGING. HYDROGEN GAS MAY BE FLAMMABLE OR
EXPLOSIVE WHEN MIXED WITH AIR, OXYGEN, OR CHLORINE. ENSURE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION OF CHARGING AREA S CONSISTENT WITH OSHA (29 CFR 1910 &
1926), NATIONAL FIRE CODE, AND OTHER RELEVANT STANDARDS.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. VENTILATE ENCLOSED
AREAS. DIKE TO CONTAIN CONTAMINATED MATERIALS AND LIQUIDS. LIMIT
SITE ACCESS TO EMERGENCY RESPONDERS. NEUTRALIZE WITH SODIUM
BICARBONATE, SODA ASH, LIME, O R OTHER NEUTRALIZING AGENT.
Neutralizing Agent:NEUTRALIZE WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODA ASH, LIME,
OR OTHER NEUTRALIZING AGENT.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMES DURING AND
IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHARGING.STORE BATTERIS IN COOL, DRY, WELL
VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT BATTERY TERMINALS OR REMOVE
VENT CAPS DURING STORAGE OR RECHARGING.
Other Precautions:COMBUSTION OR OVERCHARGING MAY CREATE OR LIBERATE
TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS GASES AND LIQUIDS INCLUDING HYDROGEN, SULFURIC
ACID MIST, SULFUR DIOXIDE, SULFUR TRIOXIDE, STIBINE, ARSINE AND
SULFURIC ACID.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:SULFURIC ACID MIST - FULL FACE OF HALF MASK
RESPIRATOR WITH ACID MIST FILTER OR SCBA
Ventilation:CHANGE AIR EVERY 15 MINS.
Protective Gloves:ACID RESISTANT RUBBER OR PLASTIC
Eye Protection:GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD AND SAFETY GLASSES
Other Protective Equipment:ACID-RESISTAND RUBBER OR PLASTIC APRON,
BOOTS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE PROVIDED BY MFR
Supplemental Safety and Health
NONE PROVIDED BY MFR
================== Physical/Chemical Properties ==================
HCC:C1
Appearance and Odor:BATTERY: POLYPROPYLENE OR HARD RUBBER CASE, SOLID.
================= Stability and Reactivity Data =================
