Principle Routes of Exposure

Skin Contact: No Skin Adsorption: No Eye Contact: No Ingestion: No Inhalation: No Emergency Overview: Although composed of chemical that have the health effects listed in Section 3 Composition, all chemicals are sealed in a durable metal form and unless severely damaged, will not be a concern for exposure. The main concern for health and safety is when a button cell battery vents. Leaking material from a venting battery may cause respiratory irritation and irritation to the eyes and skin. Batteries are small and may be accidentally swallowed by infants and children. Effects of Short-Term (Acute) Exposure: Inhalation: Inhalation of vapours from a venting battery may cause respiratory irritation. Skin Contact: The only risk of skin contact is exposure to chemicals in the unlikely case of a battery venting. Skin irritation may occur in such an event. Eye Contact: The only risk of eye contact is exposure to chemicals in the unlikely case of a battery venting. Eye irritation may occur in such an event. Ingestion: Because this product is in the form of a small “button” shape, the likelihood of ingestion by infants and children is more of a risk. Keep away from children. If a child swallows a battery, seek immediate medical attention. Effects of Long-Term (Chronic) Exposure: None expected or anticipated.
