===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SULFURIC ACID: HARMFUL. LEAD
COMPOUNDS: HARMFUL ONLY WHEN PRODUCT IS HEATED, OXIDIZED, DAMAGED
TO CREATE DUST, VAPOR, FUME. INHALATION: SULFURIC ACID VAPORS OR
MISTS MAY CAUSE SEVERE RESPIRATORY IRRI TATION. LEAD DUST OR FUMES
MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT AND LUNGS.
INGESTION: SULFURIC ACID MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION OF MOUTH,
THROAT, ESOPHAGUS, AND STOMACH. LEAD COMPOUNDS MAY LEAD RAPIDLY TO
SYSTEMIC TOXICITY. SKIN: SULFURIC ACID: SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS,
ULCERATION. LEAD COMPOUNDS: NOT ABSORBED. EYE CONTACT: SULFURIC
ACID: SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS, CORNEA DAMAGE, BLINDNE SS. LEAD
COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:ARSENIC IS LISTED BY NTP, IARC, OSHA,
NIOSH AS A CARCINOGEN ONLY AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE AT HIGH LEVELS.
LEAD IS LISTED AS A 2B CARCINOGEN, LIKELY IN ANIMALS AT EXTREME
DOSES. PROOF OF CARCINOGENICIT Y IN HUMANS IS LACKING AT PRESENT.
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE: SULFURIC ACID: SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION,
DAMAGE TO CORNEA, UPPER RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. LEAD COMPOUNDS:
SYMPTOMS OF TOXICITY INCLUDE HEADACHE, FATIGUE, ABDOMINAL PAIN,
LOSS OF APPETITE, MUSCULAR ACHES AND WEAKNESS, SLEEP
DISTURBANCESAND IRRITABILITY. CHRONIC: SULFURIC ACID: POSSIBLE
EROSION OF TOOTH ENAMEL, INFLAMMATION OF NOSE, THROAT, AND
BRONCHIAL TUBES. LEAD COMPOUNDS: ANEMIA; NEUROPATHY OF THE MOTOR
NERVES, WITH WRIST DROP; KIDNEY DAMAGE; REPRODUCTIVE CHANGES IN
MALES AND FEMALES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SULFURIC ACID MIST MAY AGGRAVATE
PULMONARY CONDITIONS. ACID MAY AGGRAVATE SKIN DISEASE SUCH AS
ECZEMA AND DERMATITIS. LEAD AND COMPOUNDS CAN AGGRAVATE SOME FORMS
OF KIDNEY, LIVER, NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: SULFURIC ACID: MOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. LEAD: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE,
GARGLE, WASH NOSE AND LIPS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: ACID:
GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER; DO NO INDUCE VOMITING; CONSULT
PHYSICIAN. LEAD: CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: ACID: FLUSH
WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES; REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING COMPLETELY, INCLUDING SHOES. LEAD: WASH
IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP AND WATER. EYES: SULFURIC ACID AND LEAD:
FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES; CONSULT PHYSICIAN.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Lower Limits:4.1(H2 GAS)
Upper Limits:74.2
Extinguishing Media:CO2, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF BATTERIES ARE ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER.
USE POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. WATER
APPLIED TO ELECTROLYTE GENERATES HEAT AND CAUSES IT TO SPLATTER.
WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHIN G.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS IS GENERATED
DURING CHARGING AND OPERATION OF BATTERIES. KEEP SPARKS OR OTHER
SOURCES OF IGNITION AWAY FROM BATTERIES. DO NOT ALLOW METALLIC
MATERIALS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTACT NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE
TERMINALS OF CELL AND BATTERIES. FOLLOW MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INSTALLATION AND SERVICE.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:STOP FLOW OF MATERIAL, CONTAIN/ABSORB SMALL
SPILLS WITH DRY SAND, EARTH, AND VERMICULITE. DO NOT USE
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IF POSSIBLE CAREFULLY NEUTRALIZE SPILLED
ELECTROLYTE WITH SODA ASH, LIME, E TC. WEAR ACID RESISTANT
CLOTHING, BOOTS, GLOVES, AND FACE SHIELD. DO NOT ALLOW DISCHARGE OF
UNNEUTRALIZED ACID TO SEWER.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, LIME, ETC.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE BATTERIES IN COOL, DRY,
WELL-VENTILATED AREAS WITH IMPERVIOUS SURFACES AND ADEQUATE
CONTAINMENT IN THE EVENT OF SPILLS. BATTERIES SHOULD ALSO BE STORED
UNDER ROOF FOR PROTECTION AGAINST ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.
Other Precautions:STORE AND HANDLE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA. STORE AND
HANDLE ONLY IN AREAS WITH ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY AND SPILL CONTROL.
AVOID DAMAGE TO CONTAINERS. KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE, SPARKS, AND HEAT.
PRECAUTIONARY LABELING: POISON-CAUSES SEVERE BURNS. DANGER-
CONTAINS SULFURIC ACID.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WHEN
CONCENTRATIONS OF SULFURIC ACID MIST ARE KNOWN TO EXCEED PEL, USE
NIOSH OR MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
Ventilation:STORE AND HANDLE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA. IF MECHANICAL
VENTILATION IS USED, COMPONENTS MUST BE ACID-RESISTANT.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR PLASTIC ACID-RESISTANT GLOVES WITH ELBOW -
LENGTH GAUNTLET.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD.
Other Protective Equipment:ACID-RESISTANT APRON. UNDER SEVER EXPOSURE
OR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING AND BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:HANDLE BATTERIES CAUTIOUSLY TO AVOID SPILLS.
MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. AVOID CONTACT WITH INTERNAL
COMPONENTS. WEAR PROECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN FILLING OR HANDLING
BATTERIES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
EMERGENCY FLUSHING: IN AREAS WHERE SULFURIC ACID IS HANDLED IN
CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN 1%, EMERGENCY EYEWASH STATIONS AND
SHOWERS SHOULD BE PROVIDED, WITH UNLIMITED WATER SUPPLY. VENDORS
