=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:LD50 (ORAL RAT) IS UNKNOWN.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES	  OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:AVOID CONTACT WITH ELECTROLYTE FROM
    SPILLED OR BROKEN BATTERY. ELECTROLYTE IS CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
    ACUTE: ACID MAY CAUSE IRRITATION AND SERIOUS BURNS TO EYES, SKIN,
    RESPIRATORY  SYSTEM, AND DIGEST IVE SYSTEM. CHRONIC: ACID MAY CAUSE
    SERIOUS BURNS TO EYES, SKIN, RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, AND DIGESTIVE
    SYSTEM.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS I	  A	  [7440-38-2]
    WHICH IS LISTED BY NTP AND IARC AND REGULATED BY OSHA AS A
    CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:FROM CONTACT WITH THE ELECTROLYTE: CHEMICAL
    BURNS OR IRRITATION OF EYES, SKIN,	RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, DIGESTIVE
    SYSTEM.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:EXPOSURE TO ACID MISTS MAY CAUSE
    LUNG DAMAGE AND AGGRAVATE PULMONARY CONDITION.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. FLUSH AREA WITH
    LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. IF ADVERSE SYMPTOMS DEVELOP, GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. INHALATI ON: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BREATHING DIFFICULT,
    GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE
    VOMITING. GIVE MILK TO DRINK. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NOT COMBUSTIBLE
Extinguishing Media:US MEDIA APPRPREIATE FOR SURROUNDING MATERIALS. DRY
    CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER FOG, WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A
    FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. EVACUATE AREA. COOL
    FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:WATER APPLIED TO SULFURIC ACID GENERATES
    HEAT AND CAUSES ACID TO SPATTER. SULFURIC ACID REACTS WITH MOST
    METALS TO YIELD EXPLOSIVE/FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:CONTAIN SPILL USING INERT MATERIALS;
    VERMICULITE, DRY SAND, EARTH. NEUTRALIZE WITH LIME, SODA ASH,
    SODIUM BICARBONATE.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM BICARBONATE, SODA ASH OR LIME.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE
    MATERIALS. KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE, SPARKS, AND HEAT. PROTECT BATTERY
    FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. DO NOT INCINERATE.
Other Precautions:AVOID CONTACT WITH BATTERY ELEMENTS (LEAD OR ACID
    ELECTROLYTE). CONTACT OF ELECTROLYTE WITH METALS MAY PRODUCE TOXIC
    SULFUR DIOXIDE FUMES AND MAY ALSO RELEASE FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS.
    THIS REACTION IS  INTENSIFIED WHEN DILUTED.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:IF VENTILATION DOES NOT MAINTAIN INHALATION
    EXPOSURES BELOW PEL (TLV), USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED, FITTED, FULL
    FACE RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:MECHANICAL (GENERAL) VENTILATION IS USUALLY ADEQUATE.
    VENTILATION SYSTEM MUST BE ACID AND EXPLOSIVE RESISTANT.
Protective Gloves:ACID RESISTANT GLOVES.
Eye Protection:GOGGLES/FULL FACE PORTECTION.
Other Protective Equipment:ACID RESISTANT CLOTHING AND BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE EATING,
    DRINKING, OR SMOKING. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
NONE
