*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. WHEN
    CONCENTRATIONS OF SULFURIC ACID MIST ARE KNOWN TO EXCEED PEL, USE
    NIOSH OR MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
Ventilation:GENERAL (MECHANICAL) VENTILATION WITH ACID-RESISTANT
    COMPONENTS.
Other Protective Equipment:ACID-RESISTANT APRON. UNDER SEVERE EXPOSURE
    OR EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING AND BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:HANDLE BATTERIES CAUTIOUSLY TO AVOID SPILLS.
    MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. AVOID CONTACT WITH INTERNAL
    PARTS.
Supplemental Safety and Health
IN AREAS WHERE SULFURIC ACID IS HANDLED IN CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN
    1%, EMERGENCY EYEWASH STATIONS AND SHOWERS SHOULD BE PROVIDED, WITH
    UNLIMITED WATER SUPPLY. SPENT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES ARE NOT REG
    ULATED AS HAZARDOUS WASTE WHEN RECYCLED. POLYPROPYLENE IS THE
    PRINCIPAL CASE MATERIAL.

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES  OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: VAPORS OR MISTS MAY CAUSE
    SEVERE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. INGESTION: MAY CAUSE SEVERE
    IRRITATION OF MOUTH, THROAT, ESOPHAGUS & STOMACH. SKIN: SEVERE
    IRRITATION, BURNS & ULCERATION. EYE: SEV ERE IRRITATION, BURNS,
    CORNEA DAMAGE, BLINDNESS. OVEREXPOSURE TO LEAD MAY CAUSE
    RESPIRATORY & STOMACH IRRITATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:ARSENIC IS LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN BY
    NTP, IARC AND OSHA WITH PROLONGED EXPOSURE AT HIGH LEVELS ONLY.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE, SKIN & RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION,
    BURNS, OR ULCERATION. ACUTE INGESTION OF LEAD MAY CAUSE ABDOMINAL
    PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING, DIARRHEA AND SEVERE CRAMPING FOLLOWED BY
    RAPID SYSTEMIC TOXICITY. SY MPTOMS INCLUDE HEADACHE, FATIGUE,
    ABDOMINAL PAIN, LOSS OF APPETITE, MUSCULAR ACHES AND WEAKNESS, &
    LOSS OF SLEEP.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:ACID MIST MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE AND
    AGGRAVATE PULMONARY CONDITIONS & MAY AGGRAVATE SKIN DISEASES SUCH
    AS ECZEMA & CONTACT DERMATITIS. LEAD CAN AGGRAVATE KIDNEY, LIVER &
    NEUROLOGIC DISEASES.
*  First Aid Measures  *
    EYELIDS OPEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. SKIN: FLUSH WITH
    GET MEDIC AL ATTENTION. INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF
    BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
    INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER.
    GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NONE
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:NONE
Lower Limits:4.1 H2 GAS
Extinguishing Media:CO2; FOAM; DRY CHEMICAL; HALOGEN
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF BATTERIES ARE ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER.
    USE POSITIVE PRESSURE, SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. WATER
    APPLIED TO ELECTROLYTE GENERATES HEAT & SPATTERS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HIGHLY FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS IS
    GENERATED DURING CHARGING AND OPERATION OF BATTERIES. KEEP SPARKS
    OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION AWAY FROM BATTERIES.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:STOP FLOW OF ACID. ABSORB SMALL SPILLS WITH
    INERT MATERIAL. DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IF POSSIBLE,
    AND FACE SHIELD. DO NOT AL LOW DISCHARGE OF UNNEUTRALIZED ACID TO
    SEWER.
Neutralizing Agent:SODA ASH (SODIUM CARBONATE), SODIUM BICARBONATE, OR
    LIME.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, DRY WELL-VENTILATED
    AREAS WITH IMPERVIOUS SURFACES AND ADEQUATE CONTAINMENT IN THE
    EVENT OF SPILLS. STORE IN PROTECTED AREA.
Other Precautions:SEPARATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. STORE AND
    HANDLE ONLY IN AREAS WITH ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY AND SPILL CONTROL.
    AVOID DAMAGE TO CONTAINERS. KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE, SPARKS AND HEAT.
    DO NOT SHORT CIRCUI T TERMINALS.

AVOID CONTACT OF SULFURIC ACID WITH COMBUSTIBLES, ORGANIC MATERIALS,
    STRONG OXIDIZING AGENTS, STRONG ALKALIS, & METALS.
Stability Condition to Avoid:PROLONGED OVERCHARGE; SOURCES OF IGNITION.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:SULFUR TRIOXIDE, CARBON MONOXIDE,
    SULFURIC ACID MIST, SULFUR DIOXIDE, HYDROGEN FROM ELECTROLYTE &
    LEAD VAPOR
*  Disposal Considerations  *
Waste Disposal Methods:PLACE NEUTRALIZIND SLURRY INTO SEALED CONTAINERS
    AND DISPOSE OF AS HAZARDOUS WASTE, AS APPLICABLE. LARGE,
    WATER-DILUTED SPILLS, AFTER NEUTRALIZATION AND TESTING, SHOULD BE
    MANAGED IN ACCORDANCE WITH A PPROVED LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL
    REGULATIONS.
