===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: SULFURIC ACID (BATTERY
ELECTROLYTE) CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE EYES, NOSE & THROAT. SHORT
TERM LIQUID OR VAPOR CONTACT MAY RESULT IN EYE IRRITATION & ACID
BURNS. BREATHING MIST PRODUCES RESPIR ATORY DIFFICULTY, AND CONTACT
WITH SKIN & EYES MAY CAUSE IRRITATION & SKIN BURNS. CHRONIC:
REPEATED CONTACT WITH SULFURIC ACID (BATTERY ELECTROLYTE) FLUID MAY
CAUSE DRYING OF THE SKIN WHICH CAN RESULT IN IRRITATION AND
DERMATITIS. PROLONGED INHALATION OF MIST OF SULFURIC ACID CAN CAUSE
INFLAMMATION OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT LEADING TO CHRONIC
BRONCHITIS. PROLONGED CONTACT TO STRONG ACID FUMES MAY RESULT IN
EROSION OF TEETH ENAMEL.
Effects of Overexposure:SULFURIC ACID CONTACT WITH THE SKIN, IF NOT
TREATED, CAN CAUSE REDNESS AND PRODUCE BURN AREAS ON THE SKIN. EYE
AND THROAT CONTACT WITH ACID MIST CAN CAUSE IRRITATION AND REDNESS.
DIRECT CONTACT TO THE EYES WITH ACID FLUID WILL ALSO BE PAINFUL.
LEAD EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE LASSITUDE, CONSTIPATION, ANEMIA, NAUSEA,
VOMITING, PARALYSIS, AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. THE
GREATEST
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SULFURIC ACID MIST CAUSES COUGHING
AND WILL BURN EYES AND SKIN.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE FOR FURTHER TREATMENT, OBSERVATION
AND SUPPORT IF NECESSARY. EYE: WASH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF RUNNING
WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION! SKIN: FLUSH AREA
WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF RUNNING WATER, REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
AND OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION! INHALATION: MOVE TO VENTILATED AREA.
OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION! INGESTION: IF CONSCIOUS, WASH OUT MOUTH
WITH RUNNIN G WATER. GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES MILK OR WATER TO DILUTE.
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL PHYSICIAN!
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Autoignition Temp:=357.2C, 675.F
Autoignition Temp Text:POLYPR
Lower Limits:4.10%
Upper Limits:74.2%
Extinguishing Media:WATER, WATER FOG, DRY CHEMICAL, OR HALON.
Fire Fighting Procedures:LEAD/ACID BATTERIES DO NOT BURN, OR BURN WITH
DIFFICULTY. EXTINGUISH FIRE WITH SUITABLE EXTINGUISHER FOR
SURROUNDING MATERIALS. THE ACID MIST AND VAPORS GENERATED BY HEAT
OR FIRE ARE CORROSIVE. WEAR R ESPIRATORY PROTECTION SCBA AND
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN GAS AND SULFURIC ACID VAPORS ARE
GENERATED UPON OVERCHARGE. VENTILATE CHANGING AREAS AS PER ACGIH
INDUSTRIAL MANUAL OF RECOMMENDED PRACTICES AND THE NATIONAL FIRE
CODE. HYDROGEN GAS MAY BE FL AMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE WHEN MIXED WITH
AIR, OXYGEN, AND CHLORINE.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:STOP FLOW OF MATERIAL IF POSSIBLE WITHOUT
RISKING PERSONAL INJURY. ISOLATE MATERIAL FROM FLOOR DRAINS. WEAR
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. VENTILATE ENCLOSED AREAS. DIKE TO CONTAIN
CONTAMINATED MATERIALS AND LI QUIDS. LIMIT SITE ACCESS TO EMERGENCY
RESPONDERS. NEUTRALIZE WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODA ASH, LIME, OR
OTHER NEUTRALIZING AGENT.
Neutralizing Agent:NEUTRALIZE WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODA ASH, LIME,
OR OTHER NEUTRALIZING AGENT.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMES DURING &
IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHARGING. COMBUSTION OR OVERCHARGING MAY CREATE
OR LIBERATE TOXIC & HAZARDOUS GASES & LIQUIDS INCLUDING HYDROGEN,
SULFURIC ACID MIST, SULFUR DIOXIDE, S TIBINE, ARSINE & SULFURIC
ACID. STORE BATTERIES IN COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATED AREAS.
Other Precautions:DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT BATTERY TERMINALS OR REMOVE VENT
CAPS DURING STORAGE OR RECHARGING. AVOID PROLONG OVERCHARGE. SODA
BICARBONATE, SODA ASH, SAND, OR LIME SHOULD BE KEPT ON-SITE FOR
SPILLS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:SULFURIC ACID MIST - FULL FACE OR HALF MASK
RESPIRATOR WITH ACID MIST FILTER OR SCBA.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST: PREFERRED MINIMUM ONE (1) AIR CHANGE EVERY
15 MINUTES DURING CHARGING
Protective Gloves:ACID RESISTANT RUBBER OR PLASTIC
Eye Protection:GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:ACID-RESISTANT RUBBER OR PLASTIC APRON,
BOOTS, AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Work Hygienic Practices:AFTER THE REMOVAL OF PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, WASH
THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING OR WORKING WITH BATTERIES.
