Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE-LEAD MAY CAUSE GI UPSET,LOSS OF
APPETITE,DIARRHEA,CONSTIPATION,CRAMPING,LACK OF SLEEP &
FATIGUE.CONTACT WITH SULFURIC ACID MAY LEAD TO EYE,SKIN &
RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION, CORNEAL & LUNG DAM AGE.CHRONIC-LEAD
MAY CAUSE ANEMIA,KIDNEY & NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE.ACID CAN CAUSE
BRONCHITIS,EROSION OF TOOTH ENAMEL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LEAD IS IARC-2B;SULFURIC ACID MISTS ARE
IARC-2B.
Effects of Overexposure:LEAD MAY CAUSE GI UPSET, LOSS OF APPETITE,
DIARRHEA, CONSTIPATION, CRAMPING, LACK OF SLEEP & FATIGUE. CONTACT
WITH SULFURIC ACID MAY LEAD TO EYE, SKIN & RESPIRATORY TRACT
IRRITATION, CORNEAL & LUNG DA MAGE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INORGANIC LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS
CAN AGGRAVATE CHRONIC FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND NEUROLOGIC
DISEASES. CONTACT OF SULFURIC ACID WITH THE SKIN MAY AGGRAVATE SKIN
DISEASES SUCH AS ECZEMA AND DERMATITIS.

First Aid:OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES OF
EXPOSURE.EYES/SKIN:FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES.KEEP EYELIDS
OPEN. INHALATION:MOVE TO FRESH AIR.INGESTION:DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING.IF CONSCIOUS, DRINK LARGE A MOUNT OF MILK/WATER.CALL
PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, OR DRY CHEMICAL. WATER SPRAY
MAY BE USED TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINER & DECREASE VAPORS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND NIOSH-
APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL FACEPIECE
OPERATED IN THE POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SULFURIC ACID, WHEN DILUTED WITH WATER,
CAN REACT WITH METALS TO FORM FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. HYDROGEN GAS
IS PRODUCED IN THE CELLS DURING NORMAL OPERATION.

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS. REMOVE
COMBUSTIBLES & IGNITION SOURCES (H2 MAY BE PRESENT). CONTAIN BY
DIKING AND COVER SPILL WITH SODA ASH OR LIME. MIX WELL. CHECK THAT
MIXTURE IS NEUTRAL. COLLECT AND PL ACE IN A DRUM. DO NOT FLUSH TO
SEWER.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE), SODIUM BICARBONATE
SOLUTION (ONE POUND PER GALLON)

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORAGE-STORE NEAR EYEWASH FOUNTAIN
AND SAFETY SHOWER. STORAGE AREA SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH A DRAIN
WHICH CAPTURES SPILLS OF ACID FOR PROPER DISPOSAL.
Other Precautions:DO NOT TILT ON AN ANGLE OF GREATER THAN 45 DEGREES.
AVOID SHORTING BATTERIES. DO NOT CRACK OR OVERCHARGE BATTERIES.
KEEP LIGHTED CIGARETTES, SPARKS, AND FLAMES AWAY FROM CHARGING
BATTERIES. KEEP OUT O F REACH OF CHILDREN. STORE IN COOL PLACE

Respiratory Protection:NOT REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE. USE
NIOSH-APPROVED ACID-MIST FILTER RESPIRATOR IF 1 MG/M3 TWA IS
EXCEEDED (ACID).
Ventilation:ADEQUATE GENERAL VENTILATION
Protective Gloves:RUBBER
Eye Protection:SPLASH-PROOF CHEMICAL GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:RUBBER APRON AND BOOTS. EYES WASH STATION
AND SAFETY SHOWER. USE ACID-PROOF CLOTHING FOR MAJOR SPILLS.
Work Hygienic Practices:REMOVE METALLIC JEWELRY-SHOCK POTENTIAL. WASH
THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE EATING AND DRINKING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
DO NOT STACK BATTERIES ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER. ALL LEAD ACID CELLS HAVE
ENORMOUS CIRCUIT CAPABILITY. EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED TO
AVOID SHORTING OF CELL TERMIANLS. USE A BATTERY CARRIER TO LIFT A
BATTERY OR PLACE HANDS AT OPPOSITE CORNERS TO AVOID SPILLING ACID
THROUGH VENT. AVOID CONTACT WITH INSIDE THE BATTERY.
