=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CHRONIC: ACID CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF
    EYES, NOSE, THROAT. BREATHING MIST PRODUCES RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTY.
    ACUTE: REPEATED CONTACT WITH SULFURIC ACID MAY CAUSE DRYING OF THE
    SKIN WHICH MAY RESULT IN IR RITATION AND DERMATITIS. PROLONGED
    INHALATION OF A MIST OF SULFURIC ACID CAN CAUSE INFLAMMATION OF THE
    UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT LEADING TO CHRONIC BRONCHITIS. SHORT TERM
    LIQUID OR VAPOR CONTACT MAY RES ULT IN EYE IRRITATION AND ACID
    BURNS. PROLONGED CONTACT TO STRONG ACID FUMES MAY RESULT IN EROSION
    OF THE TEETH ENAMEL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CHEMICAL LISTED AS CARCINOGEN: YES.
Effects of Overexposure:LEAD EXPOSURE: MAY CAUSE CONSTIPATION, ANEMIA,
    NAUSEA, VOMITING, PARALYSIS, AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYTEM DEPRESSSION.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: MOVE TO VENILATED AREA. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
    EYES: WASH THE EYES WITH COPIOUS QUANTITIES 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. INGESTION: WASH OUT MOUTH WITH RUNNING WATER.
    GIVE MILK OR WATER TO DRINK. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL
    PHYSICIAN.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Lower Limits:4.1
Upper Limits:74.2
Extinguishing Media:HALON, DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:LEAD/ACID BATTERIES DO NOT BURN, OR BURN WITH
    DIFFICULTY. EXTINGUISH FIRE WITH AGENT SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING
    COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. COOL EXTERIOR OF BATTERY IF EXPOSED TO FIRE
    TO PREVENT RUPTURE. THE  ACID MIST AND VAPOR GENERATED BY HEAT OR
    FIRE ARE CORROSIVE. WEAR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION AND PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN GAS AND SULFURIC ACID VAPORS ARE
    GENERATED UPON OVERCHARGE. VENTILATE CHARGING AREAS AS PER ACGIH.
    INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION A MANUAL OF RECOMMENDED PRACTICE AND
    NATIONAL FIRE CODE. 1980.VOL.1.P .12.B-9,10.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. VENTILATE ENCLOSED
    AREAS. DIKE TO CONTAIN CONTAIMINATED MATERIALS AND LIQUIDS.
    NEUTRALIZE WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODA ASH, LIME, OR OTHER
    NEUTRALIZING AGENT.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODA ASH, LIME, OR OTHER
    NEUTRALIZING AGENT.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMES DURING AND
    IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHARGING. COMBUSTION OR OVERCHARGING MAY CREATE
    HAZARDOUS GASES AND LIQUIDS. STORE BATTERIES ON COOL, DRY, WELL
    VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT  TERMINALS.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============
