LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL (RAT) IS UNKNOWN.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: ACID CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF
EYES, NOSE, THROAT. BREATHING MIST PRODUCES RESPIRATORY
DIFFICULTY, CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES CAUSE IRRITATION AND SKIN
BURN. CHRONIC: REPEATED CONTACT WITH SULF URIC ACID BATTERY
ELECTROLYTE FLUID MAY CAUSE DRYING OF THE SKIN WHICH MAY RESULT IN
IRRITATION AND DERMATITIS. PROLONGED INHALATION OF A MIST OF
SULFURIC ACID CAN CAUSE INFLAMMATION OF THE UPPER RES PIRATORY
TRACT LEADING TO CHRONIC BRONCHITIS. SHORT TERM LIQUID OR VAPOR
CONTACT MAY RESULT IN EYE IRRITATION AND ACID BURNS. PROLONGED
CONTACT TO STRONG ACID FUMES MAY RESULT IN EROSION OF THE TEET H
ENAMEL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE.
Effects of Overexposure:LEAD EXPOSURE: MAY CAUSE LASSITUDE,
CONSTIPATION, ANEMIA, NAUSEA, VOMITING, PARALYSIS AND CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION. GREATER EXPOSURE COMES FROM DUST IN THE
AIR AND ON HANDS WHEN CLEANING BATT ERY PARTS AND IF ANY INTERNAL
MATERIALS ARE EXPOSED IF THE BATTERY ISOPENED OR BROKEN.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SULFRIC ACID MIST CAUSES COUGHING
AND WILL BURN EYES AND SKIN.

First Aid:SULFURIC ACID. INHALATION: MOVE TO VENTILATED AREA. OBTAIN
MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYES: WASH THE EYES WITH COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF
RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINTUES. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN:
FLUSH AR EA WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF RUNNING WATER. REMOVE
CONTAIMINATED CLOTHING AND OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION:
WASH OUT MOUTH WITH RUNNING WATER. GIVE MILK OR WATER TO DRINK. DO
NOT INDUCE VOMITING. CALL PHYSICIAN.

Autoignition Temp:=357.2C, 675.F
Lower Limits:4.1(H*2)
Upper Limits:74.2 (H*2)
Extinguishing Media:HALON, DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:LEAD/ACID BATTERIES DO NOT BURN, OR BURN WITH
DIFFICULTY. EXTINGUISH FIRE WITH AGENT SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. COOL EXTERIOR OF BATTERY IF EXPOSED TO
PREVENT RUPTURE. THE ACI D MIST AND VAPORS GENERATED BY HEAT OR
FIRE ARE CORROSIVE. WEAR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SCBA) AND
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN AND SULFURIC ACID VAPORS ARE
GENERATED UPON OVERCHARGE. VENTILATE CHARGING AREAS AS PER ACGIH
INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION A MANUAL OF RECOMMENDED PRACTICE AND
NATIONAL FIRE CODE, 1980 VOL I, P. 1 2, B-9, 10. HYDROGEN GAS MAY
BE FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE WHEN MIXED WITH AIR, OXYGEN, CHLORINE.

Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. VENTILATE ENCLOSED
AREAS. DIKE TO CONTAIN CONTAMINATED MATERIALS AND LIQUIDS. LIMIT
SITE ACCESS TO EMERGENCY RESPONDERS. NEUTRALIZE WITH SODIUM
BICARBONATE, SODA ASH, LIM E OR OTHER NEUTRALIZING AGENT.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE),
LIME OR OTHER NEUTRALIZING AGENTS.

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMES DURING AND
IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHARGING. STORE BATTERIES IN COOL, DRY, WELL
VENTILATED AREA. DO NO SHORT CIRCUIT BATTERY TERMINALS, OR REMOVE
VENT CAPS DURING STORAGE OR RECHARGI NG.
Other Precautions:AVOID PROLONGED OVERCHARGE. SODA BICARBONATE, SODA
ASH, SAND OR LIME SHOULD BE KEPT ON-SITE FOR SPILL REMEDIATION.
COMBUSTION OR OVERCHARGING MAY CREATE OR LIBERATE TOXIC AND
HAZARDOUS GASES AND LIQ UIDS INCLUDING HYDROGEN, SULFURIC ACID,
SULFUR DIOXIDE, SULFUR TRIOXIDE, SCIBINE, ARSINE, AND SULFUR IC
ACID.

Respiratory Protection:SULFURIC ACID MIST - FULL FACE OR HALF MASK
RESPIRATOR WITH ACID MIST FILTER OR SCBA.
Ventilation:CHANGE AIR EVERY 15 MINUTES. LOCAL EXHAUST: NO
MECHANICAL (GENERAL): NO INFORMATION FOUND.
