Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:DEPENDING ON THE CONCENTRATION OF
SULFUR DIOXIDE EXPOSURE, IT ACTS AS AN ASPHYXIANT AND MAY POSSIBLY
CAUSE UNCONSCIOUSNESS WITH NO KNOWN CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:SULFUR DIOXIDE-IRRITATION OF NOSE, THROAT,
EYES, AND/OR SKIN-SUFFOCATING ODOR.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SULFUR DIOXIDE- ASTHMA AND OTHER
RESPIRATORY DISEASE

First Aid:IF CELL VENTS, PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EVACUATED FROM
CONTAMINATED AREAS. ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION SHOULD BE GIVEN IF
BREATHING STOPS. FLUSH ANY MATERIAL FROM SKIN.

Extinguishing Media:USE WATER OR CO2 ON BURNING LITHIUM SULFUR DIOXIDE
CELLS OR BATTERIES. USE A CLASS D FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENT ONLY ON
A RAW LITHIUM FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:BATTERY MAY VENT WHEN SUBJECT TO
EXCESSIVE HEAT EXPOSING CONTENTS.

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE PERSONNEL FROM AREA UNTIL FUMES
DISSIPATE. PROVIDE MAXIMUM VENTILATION TO CLEAR OUT HAZARDOUS
GASES.
Neutralizing Agent:NO DATA PROVIDED BY RESPONSIBLE PARTY.
