*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:NOT REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL USE. USE
    NIOSH-APPROVED ACID-MIST FILTER RESPIRATOR IF 1 MG/M3 TWA IS
    EXCEEDED (ACID).
Ventilation:ADEQUATE GENERAL VENTILATION
Other Protective Equipment:RUBBER APRON AND BOOTS. EYES WASH STATION
    AND SAFETY SHOWER. USE ACID-PROOF CLOTHING FOR MAJOR SPILLS.
Work Hygienic Practices:REMOVE METALLIC JEWELRY-SHOCK POTENTIAL. WASH
    THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE EATING AND DRINKING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
DO NOT STACK BATTERIES ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER. ALL LEAD ACID CELLS HAVE
    ENORMOUS CIRCUIT CAPABILITY. EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED TO
    AVOID SHORTING OF CELL TERMIANLS. USE A BATTERY CARRIER TO LIFT  A
    BATTERY OR PLACE HANDS AT OPPOSITE CORNERS TO AVOID SPILLING ACID
    THROUGH VENT. AVOID CONTACT WITH INSIDE THE BATTERY.

Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE-LEAD MAY CAUSE GI UPSET,LOSS OF
    APPETITE,DIARRHEA,CONSTIPATION,CRAMPING,LACK OF SLEEP &
    FATIGUE.CONTACT WITH SULFURIC ACID MAY LEAD TO EYE,SKIN &
    RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION, CORNEAL & LUNG DAM AGE.CHRONIC-LEAD
    MAY CAUSE ANEMIA,KIDNEY & NERVOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE.ACID CAN CAUSE
    BRONCHITIS,EROSION OF TOOTH ENAMEL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:LEAD IS IARC-2B;SULFURIC ACID MISTS ARE
    IARC-2B.
Effects of Overexposure:LEAD MAY CAUSE GI UPSET, LOSS OF APPETITE,
    DIARRHEA, CONSTIPATION, CRAMPING, LACK OF SLEEP & FATIGUE. CONTACT
    WITH SULFURIC ACID MAY LEAD TO EYE, SKIN & RESPIRATORY TRACT
    IRRITATION, CORNEAL & LUNG DA MAGE.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INORGANIC LEAD AND ITS COMPOUNDS
    CAN AGGRAVATE CHRONIC FORMS OF KIDNEY, LIVER AND NEUROLOGIC
    DISEASES. CONTACT OF SULFURIC ACID WITH THE SKIN MAY AGGRAVATE SKIN
    DISEASES SUCH AS ECZEMA AND DERMATITIS.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES OF
    OPEN. INHALATION:MOVE TO FRESH AIR.INGESTION:DO NOT INDUCE
    VOMITING.IF CONSCIOUS, DRINK LARGE A MOUNT OF MILK/WATER.CALL
    PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, OR DRY CHEMICAL. WATER SPRAY
    MAY BE USED TO COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINER & DECREASE VAPORS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND NIOSH-
    APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL FACEPIECE
    OPERATED IN THE POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SULFURIC ACID, WHEN DILUTED WITH WATER,
    CAN REACT WITH METALS TO FORM FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. HYDROGEN GAS
    IS PRODUCED IN THE CELLS DURING NORMAL OPERATION.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTS. REMOVE
    COMBUSTIBLES & IGNITION SOURCES (H2 MAY BE PRESENT). CONTAIN BY
    DIKING AND COVER SPILL WITH SODA ASH OR LIME. MIX WELL. CHECK THAT
    MIXTURE IS NEUTRAL. COLLECT AND PL ACE IN A DRUM. DO NOT FLUSH TO
    SEWER.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE), SODIUM BICARBONATE
    SOLUTION (ONE POUND PER GALLON)
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORAGE-STORE NEAR EYEWASH FOUNTAIN
    AND SAFETY SHOWER. STORAGE AREA SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH A DRAIN
    WHICH CAPTURES SPILLS OF ACID FOR PROPER DISPOSAL.
    AVOID SHORTING BATTERIES. DO NOT CRACK OR OVERCHARGE BATTERIES.
    KEEP LIGHTED CIGARETTES, SPARKS, AND FLAMES AWAY FROM CHARGING
    BATTERIES. KEEP OUT O F REACH OF CHILDREN. STORE IN COOL PLACE
