IV. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flash Point: Not Applicable Flammable Limits: LEL = 4.1% (Hydrogen Gas) UEL = 74.2%
Extinguishing media: CO2; foam; dry chemical
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: If batteries are on charge, shut off power. Use positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus. Water applied to electrolyte generates heat and causes it to spatter. Wear acid-resistant clothing.
Unusual Fire and Explosion hazards: Highly flammable hydrogen gas is generated during charging and operation of batteries.
To avoid risk of fire or explosion, keep sparks or other sources of ignition away from batteries. Do not allow metallic materials to simultaneously contact negative and positive terminals of cells and batteries. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for installation and service.
V. REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Stable X Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged overcharge; sources of ignition
Unstable
Incompatibility: (materials to avoid)
Sulfuric acid: Contact with combustibles and organic materials may cause fire and explosion. Also reacts violently with strong reducing agents, metals, sulfur trioxide gas, strong oxidizers and water. Contact with metals may produce toxic sulfur dioxide fumes and may release flammable hydrogen gas.
Lead compounds: Avoid contact with strong acids, bases, halides, halogenated, potassium nitrate, permanganate, peroxides, nascent hydrogen and reducing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Sulfuric acid: Sulfur trioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfuric acid mist, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen.
Lead compounds: High temperatures likely to produce toxic metal fume, vapor or dust; contact with strong acid or base or presence of nascent hydrogen may generate highly toxic arsine gas.
VI. HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Routes of Entry:
Sulfuric acid: Harmful by all routes of entry.
Lead compounds: Hazardous exposure can occur only when product is heated, oxidized or otherwise processed or damaged to create dust, vapor or fume.
Inhalation:
Sulfuric acid: Breathing of sulfuric acid vapors or mists may cause severe respiratory irritation.
Lead compounds: Inhalation of lead dust or fumes may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract and lungs.
Ingestion:
Sulfuric acid: May cause severe irritation of mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach.
Lead compounds: Acute ingestion may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and severe cramping. This may lead rapidly to systemic toxicity and must be treated by a physician.
Skin Contact:
Sulfuric acid: Severe irritation, burns and ulceration. Lead compounds: Not absorbed through the skin. Eye Contact:
Sulfuric acid: Severe irritation, burns, cornea damage, and blindness.
Lead compounds: May cause eye irritation.
Effects of Overexposure - Acute:
Sulfuric acid: Severe skin irritation, damage to cornea, upper respiratory irritation.
Lead compounds: Symptoms of toxicity include headache, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, muscular aches and weakness, sleep disturbances and irritability.
Effects of Overexposure - Chronic:
Sulfuric acid: Possible erosion of tooth enamel, inflammation of nose, throat and bronchial tubes.
Lead compounds: Anemia; neuropathy, particularly of the motor nerves, with wrist drop; kidney damage; reproductive changes in males and females.
Carcinogenicity:
Sulfuric acid: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified "strong inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid" as a Category I carcinogen, a substance that is carcinogenic to humans. This classification does not apply to liquid forms of sulfuric acid or sulfuric acid solutions contained within a battery. Inorganic acid mist.
(sulfuric acid mist) is not generated under normal use of this product. Misuse of the product, such as overcharging, may result in the generation of sulfuric acid mist.
VI. HEALTH HAZARD DATA (continued)
Lead compounds: Lead is listed as a 2B carcinogen, likely in animals at extreme doses. Proof of carcinogenicity in
humans is lacking at present.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Overexposure to sulfuric acid mist may cause lung damage and aggravate pulmonary conditions. Contact of sulfuric acid with skin may aggravate skin diseases such as eczema and contact dermatitis. Lead and its compounds can aggravate some forms of kidney, liver and neurologic diseases.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation:
Sulfuric acid: Remove to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Lead: Remove from exposure, gargle, wash nose and lips; consult physician. Ingestion:
Sulfuric acid: Give large quantities of water; do not induce vomiting; consult physician.
Lead: Consult physician immediately.
Skin:
Sulfuric acid: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing completely, including shoes.
Lead: Wash immediately with soap and water.
Eyes:
Sulfuric acid and lead: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes; consult physician.
Proposition 65:
Warning: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling
.
VII. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Spill or Leak Procedures:
Stop flow of material, contain/absorb small spills with dry sand, earth, and vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials. If possible, carefully neutralize spilled electrolyte with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc. Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves, and face shield. Do not allow discharge of unneutralized acid to sewer.
Waste Disposal Methods:
Spent batteries: Send to secondary lead smelter for recycling.
Place neutralized slurry into sealed containers and handle as applicable with state and federal regulations. Large water-diluted spills, after neutralization and testing, should be managed in accordance with approved local, state and federal requirements. Consult state environmental agency and/or federal EPA.
Handling and Storage:
Store batteries in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas with impervious surfaces and adequate containment in the event of spills. Batteries should also be stored under roof for protection against adverse weather conditions. 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.
VIII. CONTROL MEASURES
Engineering Controls:
Store and handle in well-ventilated area. If mechanical ventilation is used, components must be acid-resistant.
Work Practices:
Handle batteries cautiously to avoid spills. Make certain vent caps are on securely. Avoid contact with internal components. Wear protective clothing when filling or handling batteries.
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.
Protective gloves:
Rubber or plastic acid-resistant gloves with elbow-length gauntlet.
Eye Protection:
Chemical goggles or face shield.
VIII. CONTROL MEASURES (continued)
Other Protection:
Acid-resistant apron. Under severe exposure or emergency conditions, wear acid-resistant clothing and boots.
Emergency Flushing:
In areas where sulfuric acid is handled in concentrations greater than 1%, emergency eyewash stations and showers should be provided, with unlimited water supply.
