Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SULFURIC ACID MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO
THE EYES, NOSE AND THROAT. DIFFICULTY IN BREATHING MAY BE
EXPERIENCED. ACID SPLASHED IN EYES OR ON SKIN MAY CAUSE BURNS OR
IRRITATION. REPEATED OR PROLONGED EXPOS URE TO MIST OR VAPORS OF
SULFURIC ACID MAY CAUSE EROSION OF THE TEETH.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NO INGREDIENT OF A CONCENTRATION OF 0.1%
OR GREATER IS LISTED BY IARC, NTP, OR OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: COUGHING, WHEEZING, SHORTNESS OF
BREATH. SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE BURNS, OR REDNESS, RASH, ITCHING.
EYE CONTACT: MAY CAUSE REDNESS, TEARING, BLURRED VISION, CORNEAL
BURNS AND CONJUCTIVITIS. INGESTION: ELECTROLYTE MAY CAUSE BURNS TO
THE MOUTH, ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH, SEVERE STOMACH PAIN, NAUSEA,
VOMITING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH A HISTORY OF AILMENTS
OR WITH A PRE-EXISTING DISEASE INVOLVING THE RESPIRATORY TRACT OR
TEETH MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK FROM EXPOSURE.

First Aid:INHALATION:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. RESUSCITATE IF NOT BREATHING.
GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER
FOR 15 MINUTES HOLDING EYELIDS OPEN. GET PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN :REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH WITHPLENTY OF WATER FOR 15
MINUTES. GET MEDICAL ADVICE. INGESTION:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
DRINK 1-2 GLASSES OF WATER. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Extinguishing Media:USE DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE OF WATER IN EXTINGUISHING BURNING
BATTERIES MAY CAUSE SPATTERING DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF MOLTEN LEAD.
WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:AFTER ELECTROLYTE IS ADDED AND BATTERY IS
BEING CHARGED, HYDROGEN GAS IS PRODUCED. BATTERY MAY EXPLODE IF
HYDROGEN GAS TRAPPED INSIDE THE CASE SHOULD IGNITE.

Spill Release Procedures:SHOULD A BATTERY RUPTURES, ISOLATE AREA.
ELECTROLYTE SHOULD BE ABSORBED WITH A NON-ORGANIC TYPE ABSORBENT
SUCH AS DRY SAND OR EARTH. AVOID DILUTION WITH WATER. LEAD SPILLED
FROM THE BATTERY SHOULD BE VACUUMED, DO NOT SWEEP OR USE
COMPRESSEDAIR.
Neutralizing Agent:USE SODA ASH OR BAKING SODA TO NEUTRALIZE THE
ELECTROLYTE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID THE USE OF UNINSULATED TOOLS. IF
THEY ARE REQUIRED, TAKE CARE NOT TO ELECTRICALLY SHORT THE
TERMINALS. REMOVE METAL JEWELRY BEFORE SERVICING.
Other Precautions:UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE, EXPOSURE TO LEAD OR
LEAD CONTAINING COMPOUNDS DOES NOT OCCUR. SHOULD A RUPTURES AND
SPILL OCCURS, PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PREVENT LEAD DUST FROM
BECOMING AIR BOR NE.

Respiratory Protection:UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE, RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION IS NOT REQUIRED. HOWEVER, IF CONDITIONS ARISE THAT
REQUIRE THEIR USE, USE ONLY NIOSH RESPIRATORS APPROVED FOR DUST,
FUME AND MIST.
Ventilation:BATTERY CHARGING AREAS MUST BE ADEQUATELY VENTILATED TO
PREVENT HAZARDOUS CONCENTRATIONS OF FLAMMABLE GAS OR ACID MIST.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER GLOVES APPROVED FOR SULFURIC ACID
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES AND FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER.
INDUSTRIAL-TYPE IMPERVIOUS WORK CLOTHING, BOOTS AND APRON AS
REQUIRED.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
