Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE: SULFURIC ACID MAY
CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE EYES, NOSE AND THROAT. DIFFICULTY IN
BREATHING MAY BE EXPERIENCED. ACID SPLASHED IN THE EYES OR ON THE
SKIN MAY CAUSE BURNS OR IRRITATION. CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE: REPEATED
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO DILUTE SULFURIC ACID MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF
THE SKIN. REPEATED OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO MIST OR VAPORS OF
SULFURIC ACID MAY CAUSE EROSION OF THE TEETH, CHRONIC IRRITATION
OF THE EYES OR CHRONIC INFLAMMATION TO THE NOSE, THROAT, AND
BRONCHIAL TUBES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: INHALATION OF ELECTROLYTE CAN CAUSE
BURNS OF THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT. LUNG IRRITATION AND PULMONARY
EDEMA MAY OCCUR. SKIN CONTACT: MAY CAUSE BURNS OR LOCALIZED
IRRITATION. EYE CONTACT: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION, CORNEAL BURNS AND
CONJUNCTIVITIS. BLINDNESS OR SEVERE OR PERMANENT INJURY MAY RESULT.
INGESTION: MAY CAUSE BURNS TO THE MOUTH, ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NOT PROVIDED

First Aid:EYES: WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER, LIFTING
THE LOWER AND UPPER LIDS CONTINUOUSLY. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH THE EXPOSED AREA OF THE SKIN WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF
WATER . REMOVE ANY CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND SHOES (THIS CAN BE
DONE WHILE UNDER SHOWER). GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: REMOVE
EMPLOYEE FROM AREA OF EXPOSURE TO FRESH AIR. IF PERSON IS NOT
BREATHING AN D HAS NO PULSE, PERFORM CPR. IF BREATHING IS
DIFFICULT. GIVE OXYGEN. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION:
GIVE EMPLOYEE LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER IF CONSCIOUS. DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. GET MEDICAL A TTENTION.

Extinguishing Media:USE DRY CHEMICAL OR CO2 EXTINGUISHER FOR SMALL
FIRES. WATER FOG FOR LARGE FIRES.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:WHILE BATTERY IS BEING CHARGED, HYDROGEN
GAS IS PRODUCED. BATTERY MAY EXPLODE IF HYDROGEN GAS IS TRAPPED
INSIDE THE BATTERY CASE. KEEP IGNITION SOURCES AWAY.

Spill Release Procedures:ELECTROLYTE SHOULD BE ABSORBED WITH A
NON-ORGANIC TYPE ABSORBENT SUCH AS DRY SAND OR EARTH. AVOID
DILUTION WITH WATER.
Neutralizing Agent:USE SODA ASH OR BAKING SODA TO NEUTRALIZE
ELECTROLYTE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:NOT PROVIDED
Other Precautions:AVOID USE OF UNINSULATED TOOLS. DO NOT MAKE A
CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO BATTERY TERMINALS. PROVIDE SUFFICIENT
VENTILATION IN WORK AREA. HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN GASES ARE PRODUCED
DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERA TION, ESPECIALLY DURING CHARGING. USE
EXHAUST SYSTEM CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO OUTSIDE AIR.

Respiratory Protection:UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION IS NOT REQUIRED. HOWEVER. SHOULD CONDITIONS ARISE WHERE
RESPIRATORS ARE NEEDED, USE ONLY NIOSH/MSHA RESPIRATORS APPROVED
FOR DUST, FUME AND MIST.
Ventilation:BATTERY CHARGING AREAS MUST BE ADEQUATELY VENTILATED TO
KEEP VAPOR AND MIST CONCENTRATIONS BELOW EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:GLOVES APPROVED FOR SULFURIC ACID
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES, FULL FACE SHIELD.
Other Protective Equipment:ACID RESISTANT APRON.
Work Hygienic Practices:NOT PROVIDED
