2. Composition / information on ingredients
Electrolyte containing lithium chloride, proprietary catalyst alloy electrodes, enclosed in a plastic
based housing with attached metal connections.
3. Hazards Identification
The electrolyte inside the sensor constitutes the main potential hazard. This may leak out should the
housing be damaged or tampered with.
3.1. Inhalation of electrolyte:
Inhalation is not an expected hazard unless heated to high temperatures. Mist or vapour
inhalation can cause irritation to the nose, throat, and upper respiratory tract.
3.2. Ingestion of electrolyte:
Harmful if swallowed.
3.3. Skin contact of electrolyte:
May cause burning sensation by skin contact.
3.4. Target Organs:
Thyroid & Kidneys. Possible risk of harm to unborn child.
4. First-Aid Measures
In case of leakage and:
4.1. Eye contact with electrolyte:
Irrigate thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical advice if discomfort
persists.
4.2. Inhalation of electrolyte:
Remove to fresh air. Rest and keep warm. Obtain medical advice if applicable.
4.3. Skin contact with electrolyte:
Immediately flush the skin thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. Obtain medical advice if continued
irritation.
4.4. Ingestion of electrolyte:
If swallowed wash out mouth thoroughly with water and give plenty of water to drink.

6.1. Damage
Should any CiTiceL庐 be so severely damaged or tampered with that the leakage of the
contents occurs then the following procedures should be adopted:
鈥? Avoid skin contact with any liquid or internal component through the use of protective gloves.
鈥? Disconnect CiTiceL庐 if it is attached to any equipment.
鈥? Use copious amounts of clean water to wash away any spilt electrolyte, particularly
important in equipment because of the corrosive nature of the electrolyte.
鈥? Observe first aid measures in case of eye contact, inhalation, skin contact or ingestion of
electrolyte.
