Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE: CONTACT WITH ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION
    INSIDE BATTERY CAUSES VERY RAPID, SEVERE DAMAGE. EXTREMELY
    CORROSIVE TO EYE TISSUES. MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT BLINDNESS. SKIN:
    CONTACT WITH ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION I NSIDE BATTERY MAY CAUSE SERIOUS
    BURNS TO SKIN TISSUES. INGESTION: INGESTION OF ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION
    CAUSES TISSUE DAMAGE TO THROAT AREA & GASTRO/RESPIRATORY TRACT.
    INHALATION: DURING ACTIVATION PROCED URES MIST GENERATED MAY CAUSE
    VARYING DEGRESS OF IRRITATION TO NASAL MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND
    RESPIRATORY TRACT ISSUES, DAMAGE TO LUNG TISSUES PROPER.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NIOSH RECOMMENDS THAT NICKEL AND CADMIUM
    BE TREATED AS OCCUPATIONAL CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:EYE: CONTACT WITH ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION INSIDE
    BATTERY CAUSES VERY RAPID, SEVERE DAMAGE. EXTREMELY CORROSIVE TO
    EYE TISSUES. MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT BLINDNESS. SKIN: CONTACT WITH
    ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION I NSIDE BATTERY MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS TO

Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:BATTERY ELECTROLYTE: EYE: FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT
    CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND FLUSH AFFECTED AREAS WITH PLENTY OF WATER
    BY GIVING LARGE VOLUMES OF WATER OR MILK. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
    INHALATION : REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE OXYGEN OR ARTIFICIAL
    RESPIRATION IF NEEDED. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:CO2, SAND.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS TO
    AVOID BREATHING TOXIC FUMES. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT
    TO PREVENT POTENTIAL BODY CONTACT WITH ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION OR
    MIXTURE OF WATER AND ELECTR OLYTE SOLUTION. DISCONNECT OR CUT ALL
    CABLES TO AND FROM BATTERY ESPECIALLY GROUND CONNECTION.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION IS CORROSIVE TO ALL
    HUMAN TISSUES. IT WILL REACT VIOLENTLY WITH MANY ORGANIC CHEMICALS,
    ESPECIALLY NITROCARBONS & CHLOROCARBONS. ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION
    REACTS WITH ZINC, ALUMINUM, T IN & OTHER ACTIVE MATERIALS RELEASING
    FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN GAS. CADMIUM FUMES RELEASED WHEN BATTERIES IN
    HIGH TEMPERATURE.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION SPILLS: SMALL (UP TO 5
    GALLONS): FLUSH WITH WATER AND NEUTRALIZE WITH DILUTE CITRIC ACID.
    LARGE: CONTAIN MATERIAL IN SUITABLE CONTAINERS OR HOLDING AREA. DO
    NOT ALLOW MATERIAL TO  ENTER SEWERS, STREAMS, OR STORM CONDUITS.
    RECOVER MATERIAL WITH VACUUM TRUCK AND DISPOSE OF PROPERTY.
Neutralizing Agent:DILUTE CITRIC ACID
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:THESE CELLS AND THE BATTERIES
    CONSTRUCTED FROM THEM MAY BE HIGHLY CHARGED AND ARE CAPABLE OF HIGH
    ENERGY DISCHARGE. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO HANDLE CELLS PROPERLY TO
    AVOID SHORTING OR MISUSE THAT WILLRESULT IN A RAPID, UNCONTROLLED
    ELECTRICAL, CHEMICAL, OR HEAT ENERGY RELEASE.
Other Precautions:DO NOT TRANSPORT ACTIVATED BATTERIES WITHOUT VENT CAP
    IN PLACE. WHEN REMOVING BATTERY FROMS SERVICE, VISULALLY INSPECT
    FOR LEAKAGE PRIOR TO HANDLING. IF LEAKAGE HAS OCCURRED FOLLOW SPILL
    MANAGEMENT PR OCEDURES. DO NOT ALLOW AN EXPOSED FLAME OR SPARK TO
    COME NEAR THE CELLS.
