*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:THIONYL CHLORIDE ELECTROLYTE DECOMPOSES TO SULFUR DIOXIDE AND
    HYDROCHLORIC ACID IN THE PRESENCE OF MOISTURE. EMPLOYEE BREATHING
    VAPORS FROM VENTING CELL SHOULD BE REMOVED TO FRESH AIR. ANY SKIN,
    EYE O R MUCOUS MEMBRANE CONTACT CAN CAUSE BURNS AND SHOULD BE
    FOLLOWED BY FLUSHING WITH LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER. WASH EYES FOR

Spill Release Procedures:IF CELL VENTS OR IS PUNCTURED, VENTILATE AREA
    WELL. COVER ANY LIQUID RESIDUE WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE, SCOOP
    RESULTING RESIDUE INTO PLASTIC BAG OR FIBER DRUM: THE REMAINS CAN
    THEN BE FLUSHED WITH LARGEAMOUNTS OF WATER. WEAR EYE AND HAND
    PROTECTION WHEN CLEANING SPILLS.
