Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE: ELECTROLYTE CAUSES RAPID, SEVERE
DAMAGE. EXTREMELY CORROSIVE TO EYE TISSUES. MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT
BLINDNESS. SKIN: ELECTROLYTE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS TO TISSUE.
CONTACT WITH NICKEL COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE SENSITIZATION, RESULTING
IN CHRONIC ECZEMA/NICKEL ITCH. INGESTION: ELECTROLYTE CAUSES TISSUE
DAMAGE TO THROAT AND GI/RESPIRATORY TRACT. INGESTION OF CADMIUM
AND/OR NICKEL COMPOUNDS CAUSES NA USEA AND INTESTINAL DISORDERS.
INHALATION: MIST CAUSES VARYING DEGREES OF IRRITATION OF NASAL AND
RESPIRATORY TRACT. CADMIUM COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE COUGH, HEADACHE,
VOMITING, CHEST PAIN, CHILLS, PULMONAR Y EDEMA, BREATHING
DIFFICULTY.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NIOSH RECOMMENDS THAT NICKEL AND CADMIUM
BE TREATED AS OCCUPATIONAL CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE: ELECTROLYTE: EXTREMELY CORROSIVE TO EYE
TISSUES. MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT BLINDNESS. SKIN: ELECTROLYTE MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS TO TISSUE. CONTACT WITH NICKEL COMPOUNDS MAY
CAUSE SENSITIZATION. ING ESTION: CADMIUM AND/OR NICKEL COMPOUNDS
CAUSES NAUSEA AND INTESTINAL DISORDERS. INHALATION: MIST CAUSES
VARYING DEGREES OF IRRITATION OF NASAL AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.
CADMIUM COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE DRY TH ROAT, COUGH, HEADACHE, VOMITING,
CHEST PAIN, CHILLS, BREATHING DIFFICULTY.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT PROVIDED
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:BATTERY ELECTROLYTE-EYE: FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT
LEAST 20 MINUTES. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND FLUSH AFFECTED AREAS WITH PLENTY OF WATER
FOR AT LE AST 20 MINUTES. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DILUTE
BY GIVING LARGE VOLUMES OF WATER OR MILK. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE OXYGEN OR ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION IF NEEDED. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. NICKEL AND
CADMIUM COMPOUNDS-SKIN: WASH WITH COLD WATER AND SOAP.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NOT PROVIDED
Extinguishing Media:CO2, SAND.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS TO
AVOID BREATHING TOXIC FUMES. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT
TO PREVENT POTENTIAL BODY CONTACT WITH ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION OR
MIXTURE OF WATER AND ELECTR OLYTE SOLUTION. DISCONNECT OR CUT ALL
CABLES TO AND FROM BATTERY-ESPECIALLY GROUND CONNECTION.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ELECTROLYTE IS CORROSIVE TO HUMAN
TISSUES. IT WILL REACT VIOLENTLY WITH ORGANIC CHEMICALS, ESPECIALLY
NITROCARBONS AND CHLOROCARBONS. IT REACTS WITH ZINC, ALUMINUM, TIN
AND OTHERS RELEASING FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. CADMIUM FUMES MAY BE
RELEASED WHEN BATTERIES ARE SUBJECTED TO HIGH TEMPERATURES.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:SMALL (UP TO 5 GALLONS: FLUSH WITH WATER AND
NEUTRALIZE WITH DILUTE CITRIC ACID. LARGE: CONTAIN MATERIAL IN
SUITABLE CONTAINERS OR HOLDING AREA. DO NOT ALLOW MATERIAL TO ENTER
SEWERS, STREAMS, OR STOR M CONDUITS. RECOVER MATERIAL WITH VACUUM
TRUCK AND DISPOSE OF PROPERLY. REPORTABLE QUANTITY: 1000 POUNDS. 40
CFR-117.13.
Neutralizing Agent:DILUTE CITRIC ACID
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:THESE CELLS AND THE BATTERIES
CONSTRUCTED FROM THEM MAY BE HIGHLY CHARGED AND ARE CAPABLE OF HIGH
ENERGY DISCHARGE. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO HANDLE CELLS PROPERLY TO
AVOID SHORTING OR MISUSE THAT WILL RESULT IN A RAPID, UNCONTROLLED
ELECTRICAL, CHEMICAL, OR HEAT ENERGY RELEASE.
Other Precautions:DO NOT TRANSPORT ACTIVATED BATTERIES WITHOUT VENT CAP
IN PLACE. WHEN REMOVING BATTERY FROM SERVICE, VISUALLY INSPECT FOR
LEAKAGE PRIOR TO HANDLING. IF LEAKAGE HAS OCCURRED FOLLOW SPILL
MANAGEMENT PROC EDURES. DO NOT ALLOW AN EXPOSED FLAME OR SPARK TO
COME NEAR THE CELLS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED MIST RESPIRATOR DURING
ACTIVATION AND ACTUAL USAGE TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE LEVELS BELOW THE
TWA.
Ventilation:PERFORM ACTIVATION PROCEDURES IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.
BATTERY OPERATING AREAS MUST BE WELL-VENTILATED TO REMOVE NORMAL
GASES GENERATED.
