COMMON NAME: (Used on label) Valve Regulated Lead-acid Battery Trade Name & Synonyms VRB, VRLA, SLAB, Recombinant lead acid RG, GPL, AGM, PVX or FD Series, D8565 series Chemical Family: Toxic and Corrosive Material Mixture Chemical Name: Battery, Storage, Lead Acid, Valve Regulated Formula: Lead/Acid 3. Hazard Identification Signs and Symptoms of Exposure 1. Acute Hazards Do not open battery. Avoid contact with internal components. Internal components include lead and absorbed electrolyte. Electrolyte - Electrolyte is corrosive and contact may cause skin irritation and chemical burns. Electrolyte causes severe irritation and burns of eyes, nose and throat. Ingestion can cause severe burns and vomiting. Lead - Direct skin or eye contact may cause local irritation. Inhalation or ingestion of lead dust or fumes may result in headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal spasms, fatigue, sleep disturbances, weight loss, anemia and leg, arm and joint pain. 2. Subchronic and Chronic Health Effects Electrolyte - Repeated contact with electrolyte causes irritation and skin burns. Repeated exposure to mist may cause erosion of teeth, chronic eye irritation and/or chronic inflammation of the nose, throat and lungs. Lead - Prolonged exposure may cause central nervous system damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, irritability, metallic taste, insomnia, wrist-drop, kidney dysfunction and reproductive system disturbances. Pregnant women should be protected from excessive exposure to prevent lead from crossing the placental barrier and causing infant neurological disorders. California 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, and during charging, strong inorganic acid mists containing sulfuric acid are evolved, a chemical Known to the State of California to cause cancer. Wash hands after handling. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure Contact with internal components if battery is broken or opened, then persons with the following medical conditions must take precautions: pulmonary edema, bronchitis, emphysema, dental erosion and tracheobronchitis. Routes of Entry Inhalation: YES Ingestion:YES Eye Contact: YES Chemical(s) Listed as Carcinogen or potential Carcinogen Proposition 65 YES National Toxicology Program YES I.A.R.C.
