===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION:BREATHING OF SULFURIC ACID
VAPORS OR MISTS MAY CAUSE SEVERE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. INHALATION
OF LEAD DUST/FUMES MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT
& LUNGS. INGESTION:SULFURIC ACID MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION OF
MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS & STOMACH. LEAD COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE
ABDOMINAL PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA & SEVERE CRAMPING. THIS
MAY LEAD TO SYSTEMIC TOXICTY. SKIN CONTACT:SULFURIC ACID CAUSES
SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS & ULCERATION. LEAD COMPOUNDS ARE NOT
ABSORBED BY THE SKIN. EYE CONTACT:SULFURIC ACID CAUSES SEVERE
IRRITATION, BURNS, CORNEA DAMAGE, BLINDNESS. LE AD COMPOUNDS MAY
CAUSE EYE IRRITATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SULFURIC ACID: IARC LISTS "STRONG
INORGANIC ACID MIST CONTAINING SULFURIC ACID" AS A CATEGORY 1
CARCINOGEN. CLASSIFICATION DOES NOT APPLY TO LIQUID FORMS AS FOUND
IN A BATTERY. LEAD IS LISTED AS A IAR C 2B CARCINOGEN (LIKELY IN
ANIMALS BUT LACKING PROOF OF HUMAN CARCINOGENICITY). ARSENIC IS
LISTED BY NTP & IARC AS A CARCINOGEN AFTER EXPOSURE TO HIGH DOSES.
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE: SULFURIC ACID: SEVERE SKIN IRRITATION,
DAMAGE TO CORNEA, UPPER RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. LEAD COMPOUNDS:
HEADACHE, FATIGUE, ABDOMINAL PAIN, LOSS OF APPETITE, MUSCULAR ACHES
AND WEAKNESS, SLEEP DI STURBANCES, IRRITABILITY. CHRONIC: SULFURIC
ACID: POSSIBLE EROSION OF TEETH, 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 FEMALES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:OVER EXPOSURE TO SULFURIC MAY
AGGRAVATE PULMONARY CONDITIONS, ECZEMA, CONTACT DERMATITIS. LEAD
AND ITS COMPOUNDS MAY AGGRAVATE SOME FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND
NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION: SULFURIC: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING
DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. LEAD: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE, GARGLE, WASH
NOSE AND LIPS. CONSULT PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: SULFURIC ACID: GIVE
LARGE QUANTITI ES OF WATER. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! CONSULT
PHYSICIAN. LEAD: CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: SULFURIC
ACID: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHES 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)
Upper Limits:74.2 (H2)
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE (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 SPATTER.
WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHIN G.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HIGHLY FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS (H2) IS
GENERATED DURING CHARGING & OPERATION OF BATTERIES. TO AVOID RISK
OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION, KEEP SPARKS & OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION AWAY
FROM BATTEROES. DO NOT ALLOW METALLIC MATERIALS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY
CONTACT NEGATIVE & POSITIVE TERMINALS OF CELLS & BATTERIES.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:STOP FLOW OF MATERIAL. CONTAIN/ABSORB SMALL
SPILLS WITH DRY SAND, EARTH, VERMICULITE. DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS. IF POSSIBLE, CAREFULLY NEUTRALIZE SPILLED ELECTROLYTE
WITH SODA ASH, SODIUM BICA RBONATE, LIME, ETC. WEAR ACID-RESISTANT
CLOTHING, BOOTS, GLOVES, FACE SHIELD. DO NOT ALLOW DISCHARGE OF
UNNEUTRALIZED ACID TO SEWER.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH, LIME, SODIUM BICARBONATE, ETC.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE BATTERIES IN A COOL, DRY,
WELL-VENTILATED AREA WITH IMPERVIOUS SURFACES AND ADEQUATE
CONTAINMENT IN THE EVENT OF SPILLS. BATTERIES SHOULD ALSO BE STORED
UNDER ROOF PROTECTION AGAINST ADVERSE WEA THER CONDITIONS. SEPARATE
FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.
Other Precautions:STORE ONLY IN AREAS WITH ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY AND
SPILL CONTROL. AVOID DAMAGE TO CONTAINERS. KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE,
SPARKS AND HEAT.
============= 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 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 LOTHING AND BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:HANDLE BATTERIES CAUTIOUSLY TO AVOID SPILLS.
MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. AVOID CONTACT WITH INTERNAL
COMPONENTS. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN FILLING OR HANDLING
BATTERIES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
EMERGENCY FLUSHING: WHERE SULFURIC ACID HANDLED IN CONCENTRATIONS
GREATER THAN 1%, EYE WASH AND QUICK-DRENCH SHOWER READILY
AVAILABLE.
