| HEALTH HAZARD DATA | |
LEAD:
THE TOXIC EFFECTS OF LEAD ARE ACCUMULATIVE, AND SLOW TO APPEAR. IT AFFECTS
THE KIDNEYS, REPRODUCTIVE, AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS. THE SYMPTOMS OF
LEAD OVER EXPOSURE ARE ANEMIA, VOMITING, HEADACHE, STOMACH PAIN (LEAD
COLIC), DIZZINESS, LOSS OF APPETITE AND MUSCLES AND JOINTS PAIN. EXPOSURE
TO LEAD FROM A BATTERY MOST OFTEN OCCURS DURING LEAD RECLAIM OPERATION
THROUGH THE BREATHING OR INGESTION OF LEAD DUSTS AND FUMES. THIS SHEET MUST
BE PASSED TO ANY SCRAP DEALER OR SMELTER WHEN THE BATTERY IS RESOLD.
SULFURIC ACID:
SULFURIC ACID IS A STRONG CORROSIVE CONTACT WITH THE ACID CAN CAUSE SEVERE
BURNS TO THE SKIN AND EYES. INGESTION OF SULFURIC ACID WILL CAUSE GASTRO
INTESTINAL TRACT BURNS.
SEE OTHER SIDE FOR FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS.
| REACTIVITY DATA | |
COMPONENT: SULFURIC ACID
STABILITY: STABLE AT ALL TEMPERATURES
POLYMERIZATION: WILL NOT POLYMERIZE
INCOMPATIBILITY: REACTIVE METALS, STRONG BASES, MOST ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
SULFURIC DIOXIDE, SULPHER TRIOXIDE, HYDROGEN SULFIDE, HYDROGEN
CONDITIONS TO AVOID:
PROHIBIT SMOKING, SPARKS, FLAMES, ETC. FROM BATTERY CHARGING AREA. AVOID
MIXING ACID WITH OTHER CHEMICALS.
| SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES | |
STEPS TO TAKE IN CASE OF LEAK OR SPILL:
IF SULFURIC ACID IS SPILLED FROM A BATTERY, NEUTRALIZE THE ACID WITH SODIUM
BICARBONATE (BAKING SODA), SODIUM CARBONATE (SODA ASH) OR CALCIUM OXIDE
(LIME). FLUSH THE AREA WITH WATER, AND DISPOSE OF AS HAZARDOUS WASTE
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
1) SPENT LEAD ACID BATTERIES ARE DISPOSED OF USING THREE (3) ACCEPTABLE
METHODS: SEND THE BATTERIES TO: (A) LICENSED SECONDARY LEAD SMELTERS FOR
RECYCLING (B) REPUTABLE BATTERY HANDLERS (C) REPUTABLE SCRAP DEALERS.
2) IF THE USER HAS TO TRANSPORT THESE BATTERIES TO THE SMELTERS, THE USER
MUST FOLLOW DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT) REGULATIONS.
A COPY OF THIS MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET MUST BE SUPPLIED TO ANY SCRAP
DEALER OR SECONDARY LEAD SMELTER. FOLLOW APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, AND
LOCAL REGULATIONS.
| PROTECTION | |
EXPOSURE SITE: PROTECTION
SKIN: RUBBER GLOVES, APRON
RESPIRATORY:
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT MUST BE WORN IF THE BATTERY IS CRACKED OR OTHERWISE
DAMAGED. HEPA RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE WORN DURING RECLAIM OPERATIONS, IF THE
OSHA PEL IS EXCEEDED.
EYES: SAFETY GOGGLES, FACE SHIELD
| ELECTRICAL SAFETY | |
DUE TO THE PRC BATTERY'S LOW INTERNAL RESISTANCE AND HIGH POWER DENSITY,
HIGH LEVELS OF SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT CAN BE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE BATTERY
TERMINALS. DO NOT REST TOOLS OR CABLES ON THE BATTERY. USE INSULATED TOOLS
ONLY. FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND DIAGRAMS WHEN INSTALLING OR
MAINTAINING BATTERY SYSTEMS.
| FIRST AID | |
SULFURIC ACID:
SKIN CONTACT:
FLUSH WITH WATER, SEE PHYSICIAN IF CONTACT AREA IS LARGE, OR IF BLISTERS
FORM.
EYE CONTACT:
CALL PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY, FLUSH WITH WATER UNTIL PHYSICIAN ARRIVES.
INGESTION:
CALL PHYSICIAN. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING TO AN
UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
