Hazards

LD50 LC50 Mixture:LD50 (ORAL, RAT) IS NOT RELEVANT.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:NO Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: EYE, SKIN, CNS, LUNG,
GI TRACT. ACUTE- LEAD MAY CAUSE GI UPSET, DIARRHEA, CRAMPING &
FATIGUE. SULFURIC ACID MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN & RESPIRATORY TRACT
IRRITATION, BURNS, CORNEAL & LUNG DAM AGE. CHRONIC- LEAD MAY CAUSE
ANEMIA, KIDNEY & NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE. ACID CAN CAUSE BRONCHITIS,
EROSION OF TOOTH ENAMEL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS ARSENIC WHICH IS LISTED BY NTP
AND IARC AND REGULATED BY OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN. CONTAINS LEAD.
Effects of Overexposure:GI UPSET, LOSS OF APPETITE, DIARRHEA,
CONSTIPATION, CRAMPING, LACK OF SLEEP, FATIGUE, IRRITATION, BURNS,
CORNEAL AND LUNG DAMAGE
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS CAN
AGGRAVATE CHRONIC FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.
CONTACT OF SULFURIC ACID WITH SKIN MAY AGGRAVATE DISEASES SUCH AS
ECZEMA. ACID MIST AGGRAVATES LUNG DISEASE

First Aid

First Aid:OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY IN ALL CASES OF
EXPOSURE. EYES/SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES.
KEEP EYELIDS OPEN. INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. INGESTION: DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITI NG. IF CONSCIOUS, WASH OUT MOUTH WITH RUNNING WATER.
DRINK MILK OR WATER.

Fire Fighting

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Lower Limits:4.1% H2
Upper Limits:74.2% H2
Extinguishing Media:USE CARBON DIOXIDE, SAND, FOAM/DRY CHEMICAL. WATER
APPLIED TO ELECTROLYTE GENERATES HEAT AND CAUSES IT TO SPATTER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING AND
NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL
FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:BATTERY CELLS MAY RUPTURE WHEN EXPOSED TO
EXCESSIVE HEAT. THIS COULD RESULT IN RELEASE OF CORROSIVE
MATERIALS. HYDROGEN GAS, IF PRESENT, IS EXPLOSIVE/FLAMMABLE.

Accidental Release

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS. REMOVE
COMBUSTIBLES & IGNITION SOURCES (H2 MAY BE PRESENT). CONTAIN BY
DIKING AND COVER SPILL WITH SODA ASH OR QUICKLIME. MIX WELL. CHECK
THAT MIXTURE IS NEUTRAL. COLLECT A ND PLACE IN A DRUM. DO NOT FLUSH
TO SEWER.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE), QUICKLIME (CALCIUM
OXIDE)

Handling

Handling and Storage Precautions: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:KEEP TERMINALS COVERED. AVOID SHORTING BATTERIES. DO
NOT CRACK OR OVERCHARGE BATTERIES. KEEP LIGHTED CIGARETTES, SPARKS,
AND FLAMES AWAY FROM CHARGING BATTERIES. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN. WASH TH OROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING.

Exposure Controls

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. IF MECHANICAL VENTILATION IS
USED, COMPONENTS MUST BE ACID-RESITANT.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR PLASTIC
Eye Protection:SPLASH-PROOF CHEMICAL GOGGLES/FACESHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:RUBBER APRON AND BOOTS. EYES WASH STATION
AND SAFETY SHOWER. USE ACID-PROOF CLOTHING FOR MAJOR SPILLS.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES. WASH THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING,
DRINKING/SMOKING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
FORMULA CHANGED. FOR PREVIOUS FORMULATION, SEE PNI A, SAME NSN.
