Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:UNKNOWN IARC:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:HAZARDOUS EXPOSURE CAN OCCUR ONLY WHEN
PRODUCT IS HEATED ABOVE THE MELTHING POINT, OXIDIZED OR OTHERWISE
PROCESSED OR DAMAGED TO CREATE DUST, VAPOR OR FUME. INHALATION:LEAD
DUST OR FUMES MAY CAUSE IRR ITATION OF UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT &
LUNGS. INGESTION:ACUTE INGESTION MAY CAUSE ABDOMINAL PAIN, NAUSEA,
VOMITING, DIARRHEA AND SEVERE CRAMPING. MAY LEAD TO SYSTEMIC
TOXICITY & MUST BE TREATED BY A PHY SICIAN. SKIN:NOT ABSORBED
THROUGH SKIN. EYES:MAY CAUSE IRRITATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LEAD IS LIISTED AS A 2B CARCINOGEN,
LIKELY IN ANIMALS AT EXTREME DOSES. PROOF OF CARCINOGENICITY IN
HUMANS IS LACKING AT PRESENT.
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE- LEAD COMPOUNDS: SYMPTOMS OF TOXICITY
INCLUDE HEADACHE, FATIGUE, ABDOMINAL PAIN, LOSS APPETITIE, MUSCULAR
ACHES AND WEAKNESS, SLEEP DISTURBANCES AND IRRITABILITY. CHRONIC-
LEAD COMPOUNDS: ANEMI A; NEUROPATHY, PARTICULARLY OF THE MOTOR
NERVES, WITH WRIST DROP; REPRODUCTIVE CHANGES IN BOTH MALES AND
FEMALES.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS CAN
AGGRAVATE SOME FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE, GARGLE, WASH NOSE AND LIPS;

WITH POSITIVE PRESSURE AND FULL FACE PIECE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:TO AVOID RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION, KEEP
SPARKS OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION AWAY FROM BATTERIES. DON'T
ALLOW METALS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTACT BOTH TERMINALS OF CELLS AND
BATTERIES. MOLTEN METALS PROD UCE FUME, VAPOR AND/OR DUST THAT MAY
BE TOXIC AND/OR RESPIRATORY IRRITANTS.

Spill Release Procedures:LEAD DUST OR PARTICULATE SHOULD BE VACUUMED
(USING HEPA FILTER) OR WET-SWEPT; USE CONTROLS WHICH MINIMIZE
FUGITIVE EMISSIONS; DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR. PLACE IN DRY, CLOSED
CONTAINERS FOR DISPOSAL OR RECYCLING.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE BATTERIES IN COOL, DRY,
WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. STORE BATTERIES UNDER ROOF FOR PROTECTION
AGAINST ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS. STORE AND HANDLE ONLY IN AREAS WITH ADEQUATE WATER
SUPPLY. AVOID DAMAGE TO CONTAINERS. KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE, SPARKS AND
HEAT.
Other Precautions:POISON- CAUSES SEVERE BURNS.
