===================== 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:ACUTE: ELECTROLYTE (WATER AND SULFURIC
ACID SOLUTION): SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION, DAMAGE TO CORNEA MAY CAUSE
BLINDNESS, UPPER RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. LEAD COMPOUNDS: SYMPTOMS
OF TOXICITY INCLUDE HEADACHE , FATIGUE, ABDOMINAL PAIN, LOSS OF
APPETITE, MUSCULAR ACHES AND WEAKNESS, SLEEP DISTURBANCES AND
IRRITABILITY. CHRONIC: ELECTROLYTE (WATER AND SULFURIC ACID
SCOLUTION): POSSIBLE EROSION OF TOOTH ENAME L; INFLAMMATION OF
NOSE, THROAT AND BRONCHIAL TUBES. LEAD COMPOUNDS: ANEMIA;
NEUROPATHY, PARTICULARLY OF THE MOTOR NERVES, WITH WRIST DROP;
KIDNEY DAMAGE; REPRODUCTIVE CHANGES IN BOTH MALES AND FEMALE S.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THE IARC HAS CLASSIFIED "STRONG
INORGANIC ACID MOST CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS A CATEGORY I
CARCINOGEN, A SUBSTANCE THAT IS CARCINOGENIC TO HUMAN. LEAD
COMPOUNDS - LISTED AS A 2B CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: ELECTROLYTE-BREATHING OF SULFURIC
ACID VAPORS/MISTS MAY CAUSE SEVERE RESPIREATORY IRRITATION.
LEAD-INHALATION OF LEAD DUSTS OR FUMES MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF
UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT & LUNGS . INGESTION: ELECTROLYTE-MAY CAUSE
SEVERE IRRITATION OF MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS & STOMACH. LEAD-ACUTE
INGESTION MAY CAUSE ABDOMINAL PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA &
SEVERE CRAMPING. THIS MAY LEAD R APIDLY TO SYSTEM TOXICITY. SKIN:
ELECTROLYTE-SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS & ULCERATION. LEAD-NOT
ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. EYE-ELECTROLYTE: SEVERE IRRITATION,
BURNS, CORNEA DAMAGE, BLINDNESS. LEAD-MAY CA USEE EYE IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:OVEREXPOSURE TO SULFURIC ACID MIST
MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE & AGGRAVATE PULMONARY CONDITIONS. CONTACT OF
SULFURIC ACID WITH SKIN MAY AGGRIVATE SKIN DISEASES SUCH AS ECZEMA
AND CONTACT DERMATITIS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: ELECTROLYTE-REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. LEAD-REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE,
GARGLE, WASH NOSE & LIPS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. INGESTION:
ELECTROLYTE-GIVE LAR GE QUANTITIES OF WATER, DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. LEAD-CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN: ELECTROLYTE-FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES, REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING COMPLETELY, INLCUDING SHOES.
LEAD-WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP & WATER. EYES: ELECTROLYTE -FLUSH
IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR 15 MINS; CONSULT
PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NOT APPLICABLE.
Lower Limits:4.1%
Upper Limits:74..2%
Extinguishing Media:CO2, FOAM; DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE POSITIVE PRESSURE, SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS. BEWARE OF ACID SPLATTER DURING WATER
APPLICATIONS AND WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING, GLOVES, FACE AND EYE
PROTECTION.IF BATTERIES ARE ON CHARG E, SHUT OFF POWER TO THE
CHARGING EQUIPMENT, BUT NOTE THAT BATTERIES STRINGED TOGETHER STILL
MAY POSE A RISK.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:IN OPERATION, BATTERIES GENERATE/RELEASE
FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. THEY MUST ALWAYS BE ASSUMED TO CONTAIN THIS
GAS WHICH, IF IGNITED BY BURNING CIGARETTE, NAKED FLAME/SPARK, MAY
CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION WITH DISPERSION OF CASING FRAGMENTS &
CORROSIVE LIQUID ELECTROLYTE. CAREFULLY FOLLOW MANUFACTURER INSTALL
INSTRUCTION.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:STOP FLOW OF MATERIAL, CONTAIN/ABSORB SMALL
SPILL WITH DRY SAND, EARTH, VERMICULITE. DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS. IF POSSIBLE, CAREFULLY NEUTRALIZE SPILLED ELECTROLYTE
WITH SODA ASH, SODIUM BIC ARBONATE, LIME, ETC. WEAR ACID-RESISTANT
CLOTHING, BOOTS, GLOVES, FACE SHEILD. DO NOT ALLOW DISCHARGE OF
UNNEUTRALIZED ACID TO SEWER. NEUTRAL ACID MUST BE MANAGED WITH
LOCAL, STATE & FEDERAL REGS.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE BATTERIES UNDER ROOF IN COOL,
DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREAS WHICH ARE SEPERATED FROM INCOMPABILE
MATERIALS & FROM ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY CREATE FLAMES, SPARKS, OR
HEAT. STORE ON SMOOTH, IMPERVIOUS SU RFACES WHICH ARE PROVIDED
WITH MEAASURES FOR LIQUID CONTAINMENT IN THE EVENT OF ELECTROLYTE
SPILLS.
Other Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM METALLIC OBJECTS WHICH COULD BRIDGE
THE TERMINALS ON A BATTERY & CREATE A DANGEROUS SHORT-CIRCUIT.
HANDLE CAREFULLY & AVOID TIPPING. SINGLE BATTERIES POSE NO RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK BUT IF THER'S A STRING OF CONNECTED BATTERIES
EXCEEDING THREE 12-VOLTS, THE RISK MAY INCREASE.
============= 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 & 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 SEVERE EXPOSURE
OR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING, GLOVES &
BOOTS.WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, EYE & FACE PROTECTION, WHEN
FILLING/HANDLING BATTERIES.
Work Hygienic Practices:HANDLE BATTERIES CAUTIOUSLY, DO NOT TIP TO
AVOID SPILLS. MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. AVOID BODILY
CONTACT WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
Supplemental Safety and Health
IN AREAS WHERE SULFURIC ACID IS HANDLED IN CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN
1%, EMERGENCY EYEWASH STATIONS AND SHOWERS SHOULD BE PROVIDED, WITH
UNLIMITED WATER SUPPLY.
