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 DAMA GE. CHRONIC- LEAD MAY CAUSE
ANEMIA, KIDNEY & NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE. ACID CAN CAUSE BRONCHITIS,
EROSION OF TOOTH ENAMEL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS ARSENIC [7440-38-2] 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, EYE, SKIN AND
RESPIRATORY TRACT 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:OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES OF EXPOSURE.
EYES/SKIN:FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. KEEP EYELIDS OPEN.
INHALATION:MOVE TO FRESH AIR. INGESTION:DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IF
CONSCIOUS, DRINK LAR GE AMOUNT OF WATER OR MILK FOLLOWED BY MILK OF
MAGNESIA, BEATEN EGGS OR VEGETABLE OIL.

Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Lower Limits:NOT RELEVANT
Upper Limits:NOT RELEVANT
Extinguishing Media:USE CARBON DIOXIDE, SAND, HALON/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.

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 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.

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
Protective Gloves:RUBBER
Eye Protection:SPLASH-PROOF CHEMICAL GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:RUBBER APRON AND BOOTS. EYES WASH STATION
AND SAFETY SHOWER. USE ACID-PROOF CLOTHING FOR MAJOR SPILLS.
Work Hygienic Practices:REMOVE METALLIC JEWELRY-SHOCK POTENTIAL. WASH
THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE EATING AND DRINKING.
