Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:LEAD: THE TOXIC EFFECT OF LEAD ARE
ACCUMLATIVE AND SLOW TO APPEAR. IT AFFECTS THE KIDNEYS,
REPRODUCTIVE, AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. EXPOSURE TO LEAD FROM A
BATTERY MOST OFTEN OCCURS DURING LEAD RECL AIM OPERATIONS THROUGH
THE BREATHING ORINGESTION OF LEAD DUSTS AND FUMES. SULFURIC ACID:
SULFURIC ACID IS A STRONG CORROSIVE. CONTACT WITH ACID CAN CAUSE
SEVERE BURNS ON THE SKIN AND IN EYES. INGESTIO N OF SULFURIC ACID
WILL CAUSE GI TRACT BURNS. ACID CAN BE RELEASED IF BATTERY CASE IS
DAMAGED OR IF THE VENTS ARE TAMPERED WITH. FIBERGLASS SEPARATOR:
FIBROUS GLASS IS AN IRRITANT OF THE UPPER RESPIRA TORY TRACT, SKIN,
AND EYES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LEAD IS LISTED BY IARC AS 2B ("POSSIBLY
CARCINOGENIS TO HUMANS", "INADEQUATE EVIDENCE"). THIS PRODUCT IS
NOT CONSIDERED CARCINOGENIC BY NTP OR OSHA.
Effects of Overexposure:LEAD: THE SYMPTOMS OF LEAD OVEREXPOSURE ARE
ANEMIA, VOMITING, HEADACHE, STOMACH PAIN (LEAD COLIC), DIZZINESS,
LOSS OF APPETITE, AND MUSCLE AND JOINT PAIN. SULFURIC ACID: BURNS
ON THE SKIN AND IN EYES. INGESTION OF SUFURIC ACID: GI TRACT
BURNS.. FIBERGLASS SEPARATOR: IRRITATION OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY
TRACT, SKIN, AND EYES.

First Aid:SULFURIC ACID: SKIN CONTACT: FLUSH WITH WATER, SEE PHYSICIAN
IF CONTACT AREA IS LARGE OR IF BLISTERS FORM. EYE CONTACT: CALL
PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY AND FLUSH WITH WATER UNTIL PHYSICIAN ARRIVES.
INGESTI ON: CALL PHYSICIAN. IF PATIENTS IS CONSCIOUS, FLUSH MOUTH
WITH WATER, HAVE THE PATIENT DRINK MILK OR SODIUM BICARBONATE
SOLUTION. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.

Flash Point:NONE
Lower Limits:4%=HYDROGEN
Upper Limits:74.2= H2
Fire Fighting Procedures:SEALED BATTERIES CAN EMIT HYDROGEN ONLY IF
OVER CHARGED. FIBERGLASS SEPERATOR: TOXIC VAPORS MAY BE RELEASED.
IN CASE OF FIRE WEAR POSITIVE PRESSURE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FIBERGLASS: TOXIC FUMES MAY BE RELEASED.
478 POLYSTYRENE: TEMPERATUTES OVER 300C MAY RELEASE COMBUSTIBLE
GASES. HYDROGEN: SEALED BATTERIES CAN EMIT HYDROGEN ONLY IF OVER
CHARGED (FLOAT VOTAGE) >2.40 ( VPC).

Spill Release Procedures:IF SULFURE ACID IS SPILLED FROM A BATTERY,
NEUTRALIZE THE ACID WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE (BAKING SODA) SODIUM
CARBON (SODA ASH) OR CALCIUM OXIDE (LIME). FLUSH THE AREA WITH
WATER AND DISCARD TO THE SEWA GE SYSTEM. DO NOT ALLOW UNNEUTRALIZED
ACID INTO THE SEWAGE SYSTEM.
Neutralizing Agent:NEUTRALIZE THE ACID WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE (BAKING
SODA) SODIUM CARBON (SODA ASH) OR CALCIUM OXIDE (LIME).

Handling and Storage Precautions:DUE TO THE BATTERY'S LOW INTERNAL
RESISTANCE AND HIGH POWER DENSITY, HIGH LEVELS OF SHORT CIRCUIT
CURRENT CAN BE DELVELOPED ACROSS THE BATTERY TERMINALS. DO NOT REST
TOOLS, OR CABLES ON THE BATTERY. U SE INSULATED TOOLS ONLY.
Other Precautions:FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND DIAGRAMS
WHEN INSTALLING OR MAINTAINING BATTERY SYSTEMS.

Respiratory Protection:PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT MUST BE WORN IF THE BATTERY
IS CRACKED OR OTHERWISE DAMAGED. A RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE WORN DURING
RECLAIM OPERATIONS IF THE TLV IS EXCEEDED. A RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE
WORN FOR LEAD.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER GLOVES.
Eye Protection:SAFETY GOGGLES, FACE SHIELD.
Other Protective Equipment:RUBBER APRON.
Work Hygienic Practices:DUE TO THE BATTERY'S LOW INTERNAL RESISTANCE
AND HIGH POWER DENSITY, HIGH LEVELS OF SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT CAN BE
DEVELOPED ACROSS THE BATTERY TERMINALS. DO NOT REST TOOLS OR CABLES
ON THE BATTERY.
Supplemental Safety and Health
USE INSULATED TOOLS ONLY. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND DIAGRAMS WHEN
INSTALLING OR MAINTAINING BATTERY SYSTEMS. THIS DATA MUST BE PASSED
TO ANY SCRAP DEALER OR SMELTER WHEN A BATTERY IS RESOLD.
