LD50 LC50 Mixture:LD50 (ORAL RAT) IS 2140 MG/KG (H2SO4)
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SULFURIC ACID:CAUSES SEVERE BURNS TO
ALL TISSUES. INGEST:SEVERE BURNS & ULCERATION. INHAL:SEVERE RESP
IRRIT. LEAD:HAZARD IS FOR INGEST OF DUST IN AIR & ON HANDS WHEN
CLEANING BATTERY POSTS & IF ANY IN TERNAL SOLID MATERIALS ARE
EXPOSED IF BATTERY BREAKS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LEAD AND LEAD COMPOUNDS ARE SUSPECTED
CARCINOGENS BY IARC.
Effects of Overexposure:LEAD COMPOUNDS MAY CAUSE LASSITUDE,WEIGHT
LOSS,CONSTIPATION,ANEMIA,NAUSEA,VOMITING,PARALYSIS,CNS DEPRESSION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SULFURIC ACID MISTS MAY AGGRAVATE
EXISTING RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS.

First Aid:SULFURIC ACID:MOST IMPORTANT 1ST AID:IMMED WASH W/LG AMTS OF
RUNNING WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTH UNDER WATER. EYES:WASH
W/WATER LIFTING EYELIDS. REMOVE CONTACT LENSES. INGEST:DO NOT
INDUCE VOMIT. DRINK AS MUCH MILK OR WATER AS POSSIBLEW/O VOMIT. IN
ALL CASES GET MED ATTN IMMEDIATLY. LEAD ALLOY:SKIN:WASH AREA W/SOAP
& WATER. EYE:FLUSH THOROUGHLY W/WATER FOR 15MINS. INGEST:GET MED
ATTN IMMED.

Flash Point:NOT FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:SULFURIC ACID & LEAD APPOLY COMPOUNDS ARE NOT
COMBUSTIBLE. USE WATER, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. USE
OF WATER IN EXTINGUISHING BURNING BATTERIES MAY CAUSE SPATTERING
DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF MOLTEN LEAD.
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:USE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.NEUTRALIZE WITH SODIUM
CARBONATE OR BICARBONATE.COLLECT MATERIAL WITH A NEUTRAL ORGANIC
ABSORBANT(SAND,EARTH);PLACE IN AN APPROPRIATE CONTAINER FOR
DISPOSAL.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM BICARBONATE,SODIUM CARBONATE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM SOURCES OF
IGNITION(HYDROGEN IS PRESENT).AVOID SHORTING,IMPROPER CHARGING.
Other Precautions:WHEN BRUSHING BATTERY POSTS,USE PROPER PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT(LEAD DUST IS PRESENT).THIS BATTERY SHOULD BE VENTILATED
TO THE OUTSIDE;NEVER VENT IT INTO A SEALED ROOM-HYDROGEN GAS IS
EVOLVED AND IT IS LI GHTER THAN AIR AND DIFFICULT TO DETECT.

Respiratory Protection:USE A DUST MASK WHEN BRUSHING BATTERY POSTS.
Ventilation:PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
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.
