Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:THESE CHEMICALS ARE CONTAINED IN A
SEALED CAN. RISK OF EXPOSURE OCCURS ONLY IF THE CELL IS
MECHANICALLY OR ELECTRICALLY ABUSED. THE MOST LIKELY RISK IS ACUTE
EXPOSURE WHEN A CELL LEAKS. SKIN CONTACT W ITH CELL CONTENTS CAN
PRODUCE BURNS. EYE CONTACT CAN RESULT IN SEVERE, PERMANENT DAMAGE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:PRODUCT CONTAINS NO INGREDIENTS
CURRENTLY CLASSIFIED AS CARCINOGENIC BY NTP, IARC OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:SKIN AND EYE CONTACT WITH CELL CONTENTS MAY
CAUSE CHEMICAL BURNS. AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES, MERCURY VAPOR MAY
BE GENERATED, WHICH, IF INHALED, CAN PRODUCE MERCURY INTOXICATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:AN ACUTE EXPOSURE WILL NOT
GENERALLY AGGRAVATE ANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS.

First Aid:IF LEAKAGE FROM A CELL COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE SKIN,
FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER. FOR EYE CONTACT, FLUSH EYES
IMMEDIATELY WITH COPIOUS WATER FOR 15 MINUTES AND SEE A PHYSICIAN
AT ONCE. FOR INHALA TION OF MERCURY VAPORS, REMOVE TO FRESHAIR.

Extinguishing Media:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD USE SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN A FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CELLS MAY RELEASE TOXIC MERCURY VAPOR
WHEN THE INTEGRITY OF THE CAN IS BROKEN.

Spill Release Procedures:PICIK UP CELLS. AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT IF
CELLS ARE BROLKEN. DO NOT INHALE VAPORS. ADSORB SPILLED CELL
CONTENTS WITH INERT ABSORBENT AND PLACE IN A CONTAINER OR PLASTIC
BAGS FOR DISPOSAL.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
Other Precautions:AVOID MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL ABUSE. DO NOT
RECHARGE. AVOID SHORT CIRCUITS. INSTALL CELLS IN ACCORDANCE WITH
