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

LD50 LC50 Mixture:ACETONITRILE: ORAL RAT LD50=3.8GM/KG.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:IF BATTERY CASE IS BREACHED: SULPHUR
    DIOXIDE IS A SEVERE PULMONARY IRRITANT AND PRIMARY SKIN IRRITANT.
    ACUTE EXPOSURE  CAUSES STRONG EYE, NOSE, AND THROAT IRRITATION,
    RHINORRHEA, CHOCKING, AND BRONCHO CONSTRICTION. THE ODOR AND TASTE
    THRESHOLDS ARE EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN THE PERMISSABLE EXPOSURE
    LIMIT, AND NOSE AND THROAT IRRITATION OCCUR WITHIN THREE TIMES THE
    PEMISSABLE EXPOSURE LIMIT. INHALATION:  SULPHUR DIOXIDE: 10 - 20
    PPM IRRITATION. 100 PPM DANGEROUS. 400 PPM LIFE THREATENING. EYE
    CONTACT: SULPHUR DIOXIDE: IRRITANT. SKIN CONTACT: SULPHUR DIOXIDE:
    IRRITANT. INGESTION: N/P.
Effects of Overexposure:EYES: IRRITATION. SKIN: IRRITATION. INHALATION:
    IRRITATION OF NOSE AND THROAT, RHINORRHEA, CHOCKING, COUGHING, AND
    BRONCHOCONSTRICTION. INGESTION: N/P.

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

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO VENTILATED AREA, CONSULT PHYSICIAN. EYE
    CONTACT: FLUSH WITH WATER A MINIMUM OF 20 MINUTES. SKIN CONTACT:
    WASH WITH WATER A MINIMUM OF 20 MINUTES.  INGESTION: N/P.

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

Extinguishing Media:FOR BURNING BATTERIES USE CLASS D EXTINGUISHER,

    SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPA RATUS WITH FULL FACE-MASK.

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

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN WELL VENTILATED AREA EQUIPPED
    WITH SPRINKLER SYSTEMS, AWAY FROM FLAMMABLES.

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

Respiratory Protection:FULL FACE CHEMICAL CARTRIDGE ABOVE 20 PPM -  FOR
    SULPHUR DOXIDE OR FIRE.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST.
Protective Gloves:PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR
    BATTERIES-FOR SULPHUR DIOXIDE OR FIRE.
Eye Protection:PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR BATTERIES-FOR
