CARCINOGEN BY IARC, LIKELY IN ANIMALS AT EXTREME DOSES. PROOF OF
CARCINOGENICITY IN HUMANS IS LACKING AT PRESENT. LISTED BY ACGIH AS
A3.
Effects of Overexposure:ELECTROLYTE: INHALATION-BREATHING OF SULFURIC
ACID VAPOR OR MISTS MAY CAUSE SEVERE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
BREATHING-BREATHING OF SULFURIC ACID VAPOR OR MISTS MAY CAUSE
SEVERE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. INGESTION-MAY CAUSE SEVERE
IRRITATION OF MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH. SKIN-SEVERE
IRRITATION, BURNS AND ULCERATION. EYE-SEVERE IRRITATION, BURNS,
CORNEA DAMAGE, BLINDNESS.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure: SULFURIC ACID MAY AGGRIVATE
PULMONARY CONDITIONS, SKIN DISEASES SUCH AS ECZEMA AND CONTACT
DERMITITIS. LEAD MAY AGGRAVATE SOME FORM OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND
NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:ELETROLYTE: INHALATION-REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. INGESTION-GIVE LARGE
QUANTITIES OF WATER; DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING, CONSULT PHYSICIAN.
SKIN- FLUSH WITH W ATER FOR 15 MINS; REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
COMPLETELY, INCLUDING SHOES. EYES-FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE
AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY. LEAD: INHALATION-REM OVE FROM EXPOSURE, GARGLE, WASH
NOSE & LIPS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. INGESTION-CONSULT PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY. SKIN-WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP & WATER. EYES-FLUSH
IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER FOR 15 MINS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
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
APPLICATION AND WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING, GLOVES, FACE AND EYE
PROTECTION. IF BATTERIES ARE ON CHARG E, SHUT OFF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
EVEN WHEN CHARGING EQUIPMENT IS SHUT DOWN.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:IN OPERATION, BATTERIES GENERATE AND
RELEASE HYDROGEN GAS. THEY MUST ALWAYS BE ASSUMED TO CONTAIN THIS
GAS WHICH, IF IGNITED BY BURNING CIGARETTE, NAKED FLAMES OR SPARKS,
MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION W ITH DISPERSION OF FRAGMENTS AND
CORROSIVE LIQUID ELECTROLYTE.
================== 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, AND FACE SHIELD. NEUTRALIZED ACID MUST BE
MANAGED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROVED LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL
REQUIREMENTS.
Neutralizing Agent:CAREFULLY NEUTRALIZE SPILLED ELECTROLYTE WITH SODA
ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, LIME, ETC.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:HANDLING-NO HAZARDS UNDER NORMAL USAGE
AS THE SULFURIC ACID IS IMMOBILIZED IN A GEL STRUCTURE.
STORAGE-STORE BATTERIES UNDER ROOF IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED
AREA WHICH ARE SEPERATED FROM INCOMPAT IBLE MATERIALS AND FROM
ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY CREATE FLAMES, SPARKS, OR HEAT.
Other Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM METALLIC OBJECTS WHICH COULD BRIDGE
THE TERMINALS ON A BATTERY AND CREATE A DANGEROUS SHORT-CIRCUIT.
SINGLE BATTERIES POSE NO RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, BUT THERE MAY BE
INCREASING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM STRINGS OF CONNECTED
BATTERIES EXCEEDING THREE 12-VOLT UNITS.
============= 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:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
Eye Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.
Other Protective Equipment:UNDER SEVERE EXPOSURE OR EMERGENCY
CONDITIONS, WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING, GLOVES, BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:IF BATTERY CASE IS DAMAGED, AVOID BODILY
CONTACT WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, EYE AND
FACE PROTECTION.
Supplemental Safety and Health
EMERGENCY FLUSHING: IN AREAS WHERE WATER & SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS ARE
HANDLED IN CONCENTRATIONS GREATYER THAN 1%, EMERGENCY EYEWASH
STATIONS & SHOWERS SHOULD BE PROVIDED, WITH UNLIMITED WATER SUPPLY.
