Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: TISSUE DESTRUCTION ON CONTACT
WITH ACID ELECTROLYTE; MAY CAUSE 2D/3D DEGREE BURNS. INGESTION WILL
CAUSE BURNS ON CONTACT; FATAL IF SWALLOWED. CHRONIC:
PROLONGED/REPEATED INHALATION OF ACID MIST S MAY CAUSE UPPER
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:INORGANIC ACID MISTS CONTAINING SULFURIC
ACID ARE LISTED AS A CATAGORY 1 CARCINOGEN BY IARC. (BATTERY
CONTAINS LIQUID).
Effects of Overexposure:EYES-IRRITATION, BURNS. SKIN-IRRITATION, BURNS.
INGESTED-BURNS. INHALED-RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:OVEREXPOSURE TO ACID MAY AGGRAVATE
RESPIRATORY DISORDERS.

First Aid:IN ALL CASES GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES-FLUSH WITH WATER FOR
15 MINUTES. SKIN-REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHES. WASH WITH MILD SOAP &
WATER. INHALED-REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. ADMINISTER OXYGEN OR ARTIFICIAL
RE SPIRATION AS NEEDED. INGESTED-DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! IF
CONSCIOUS, DRINK LOTS OF WATER OR MILK. OBTAIN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION.

Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL, HALON.
Fire Fighting Procedures:VENTIALTE AREA. WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AND ACID PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.

Other Precautions:DO NOT USE ORGANIC SOLVENTS OR OTHER THAN RECOMMENDED
CHEMICAL CLEANERS ON THE BATTERIES. DO NOT WEAR CONDUCTIVE METAL
JEWLRY WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES. USE NON-CONDUCTIVE TOLLS ONLY.
DISCHARGE STAT IC ELECTRICITY BEFORE HANDLING BATTERY.

Respiratory Protection:IF ENGINEERING CONTROLS FAIL OR NON-ROUTINE USE
OR AN EMERGENCY OCCURS; WEAR AN MSHA/NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WITH
ACID MIST CARTRIDGE OR AN AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR OR SCBA, AS
REQUIRED. USE IAW 29 C FR 1910.134.
Ventilation:USE ADEQUATE GENERAL ROOM VENTILATION (2-3 ROOM CHANGES OF
AIR PER HOUR) TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW TLV(S).
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR NEOPRENE.
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES/CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES.
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION & SAFETY SHOWER. ACID
RESISTANT APRON OR CLOTHES.
