LD50 LC50 Mixture:NOT PROVIDED
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 CAUSES IRRITATION AND SKIN BURNS.
CHRONIC: REPEATED CONTACT WITH SULF URIC ACID BATTERY ELECTROYTE
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 RESPI RATORY 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 RRESULT IN EROSION OF THE TEETH E NAMEL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CHEMICAL LISTED AS CARCINOGEN OR
POTENTIAL CARCINOGEN: PROP 65: YES. NTP: NO. IARC: NO. OSHA: NO,
EPA CAG: YES.
Effects of Overexposure:ACUTE: ACID CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF EYES, NOSE,
THROAT. BREATHING MIST PRODUCES RESPIRATORY DIFFICULTY, CONTACT
WITH SKIN AND EYES CAUSES IRRITATION AND SKIN BURNS. CHRONIC:
REPEATED CONTACT WITH SULF URIC ACID BATTERY ELECTROYTE FLUID MAY
CAUSE DRYING OF THE SKIN WHICH MAY RESULT IN IRRITATION AND
DERMATITIS. SHORT TERM LIQUID OR VAPOR CONTACT MAY RESULT IN EYE
IRRITATION AND ACID BURNS. PROLONGED CONTACT TO STRONG ACID FUMES
MAY RRESULT IN EROSION OF THE TEETH ENAMEL.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SURFURIC ACID MIST CAUSES COUGHING
AND WILL BURN EYES AND SKIN.

First Aid:SULFURIC ACID: INHALATION: MOVE TO VENTILATED AREA. OBTAIN
MEDICAL ATTENTION. EYE: WASH THE EYES WITH COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF
RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: FLUSH
AREA WIT H LARGE AMOUNT OF RUNNING WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING AND OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: WASH OUT MOUTH
WITH RUNNING WATER. GIVE MILK OR WATER TO DRINK. DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. CONSULT P HYSICIAN.

Autoignition Temp:=357.2C, 675.F
Autoignition Temp Text:POLYPR
Lower Limits:4.1 HYDROGEN
Upper Limits:74.2 (H2)
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 MATERISLS. COOL EXTERIOR OF BATTERY IF EXPOSED TO FIRE
TO PREVENT RUPTURE. THE ACID MIST AND VAPORS GENERATED BY
HEAT/FIRE ARE CORROSIVE. WEAR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (SCBA) AND
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN GAS AND SULFURIC ACID VAPORS ARE
GENERATED UPON OVERCHARGE. VENTERLATE CHARGING AREAS AS PRE ACGIH
INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION A MANUAL OF RECOMMENDED PRACTICE AND
NATIONAL FIRE CODE 1980 VOL. 1 P . 12, P-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, OR OTHE R NEUTRALIZING AGENT.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODA ASH

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP AWAY FROM FLAMES DURING AND
IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHARGING. COMBUSTION OR OVERCHARGING MAY CAUSE OR
LIBERATE TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS GASES AND LIQUIDS INCLUDING HYDROGEN,
SULFURIC ACID MIST, SULFUR DIOXI DE, SULFUR TRIOXIDE, ARSINE,
SULFURIC ACID. STORE BATTERIES IN COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATEED AREA.
Other Precautions:DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT BATTERY TERMINALS, OR REMOVE
VENT CAPS DURING STORAGE OR RECHARGING. AVOID PROLONGED OVERCHARGE.
SODA BICARBONATE, SODA ASH, SAND OR LIME SHOULD BE KEPT ON-SITE FOR
SPILL CLEAN-UP .
