Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE TO LEAD
ARE GASTROINTESTINAL UPSET WHICH MAY BE LOSS OF APPETITE, DIARRHEA
AND/OR CONSTIPATION WITH CRAMPING, DIFFICULT IN SLEEPING, AND
FATIGUE. EXPOSURE WITH SULFURIC A CID MAY LEAD TO ACUTE IRRITATION
OF THESKIN, CORNEAL DAMAGE OF THE EYES, AND IRRITATION OF MUCOUS
MEMBRANES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:MATERIAL OR ITS COMPONENTS OF THIS ITEM
HAS BEEN TESTED AND SHOW INSUFFICIENT EVIDENTS TO CAUSE CANCER.
Effects of Overexposure:LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE CHRONIC
ANEMIA, DAMAGE TO THE KIDNEYS AND NERVOUS SYSTEM. LEAD MAY ALSO
CAUSE REPRODUCTIVE DAMAGE AND CAN AFFECT DEVELOPING FETUSES IN
PREGNANT WOMEN. SULFURIC ACID MA Y LEAD TO SCARRING OF THE CORNEA
AND CHRONIC BRONCHITIS AS WELL AS EROSION OF TOOTH ENAMEL IN MOUTH
BREATHERS.
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.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
PROMPTLY. SKIN: WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP AND WATER.IF ELECTROLYTE
COMES INTO CONTACT WITH CLOTHING, REMOVE AND DO NOT WEAR AGAIN
UNTIL CLEANED. EYES: IMMEDIATELY RINSE WITH COOL RUNNING WATER.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY. INGEST LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER UNTIL HELP ARRIVES.

Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN GASES ARE PRODUCED IN
THE CELLS DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. TO AVOID CHANCE OF FIRE
KEEP SOURCES OF IGNITION AWAY FROM BATTERY.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND ALL SOURCES
OF IGNITION. COVER SPILL WITH SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE) OR
QUICKLIME (CALCIUM OXIDE). MIX WELL. COLLECT RESIDUE AND PLACE IN A
DRUM. DO NOT RELEASE UNNEU TRALIZED ACID.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM CARBONATE OR QUICKLIME (CALCIUM OXIDE).

Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID DROPPING OR BUMPING CELLS. DO
NOT STORE CELLS ABOVE 130F. MAINTAIN CHARGE AND ELECTROLYTE IN
STORED CELLS.
Other Precautions:STORE LEAD/ACID BATTERIES WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
NEVER RE-CHARGE BATTERIES IN AN UNVENTILATED, ENCLOSED SPACE. DO
NOT SHORT CIRCUIT CELL AS THIS CAN RESULT IN EXPLOSION AND/OR CELL
DAMAGE.
