Lithium Ion Cell

Health hazards

Acute and Chronic) For the battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed aluminum laminate case, designed to withstand temperatures and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use, there is no physical danger of ignition or explosion and chemical danger of hazardous materials leakage. However, if exposed to a fire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, or added electric stress by misuse the cell case will be breached and hazardous materials may be released. Moreover, if heated strongly by the surrounding fire, acrid gas may be emitted. Carcinogenicity: NTP None IARC Monograph None OSHA Regulated None 1

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure

An acute exposure will not generally aggravate any medical condition.

Potential health effects

Inhalation: The steam of the electrolyte has an anesthesia action and stimulates a respiratory tract. Skin contact: The steam of the electrolyte stimulates a skin. The electrolyte skin contact causes a sore and the stimulation on the skin. Eye contact: The steam of the electrolyte stimulates eyes. The electrolyte eye contact causes a sore and the stimulation on the eye. Inflammation of the eyes may occur.

Environmental effects

Since a battery cell remains in the environment, do not throw out it into the environment. Specific hazards: If the electrolyte contacts with water, it may generate detrimental hydrogen fluoride. Since the leaked electrolyte is inflammable liquid, do not bring close to fire.
