Nickel Cadmium Battery （rechargeable Battery）

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

A sealed Nickel-Cadmium cell is not hazardous in normal use. Hazardous Components contained into the cell.: Name CAS Number

Hazard pictograms

Identification of danger Cadmium 21041-95-2 Cd(OH)2 Harmful Hydroxide Nickel 12054-48-7 Ni(OH)2 Harmful Hydroxide Cobalt 21041-93-0 Co(OH)2 Harmful Hydroxide Alcalines 1310-58-3 KOH Hydroxide NaOH Corrosive LiOH 3. Health Hazard Data Effects of Overexposure Eye effect: Exposure to the electrolyte contained inside the battery may result in severe irritation and chemical burns. Skin Effect: Contact with electrolyte inside battery may cause serious chemical burns. Contact with nickel may cause dermatitis in some sensitive individuals. Ingestion: Ingestion of electrolyte may cause chemical burns to throat area and gastro/respiratory tract. Ingestion of Cadmium compound may cause dry throat, cough and prostration. Inhalation: Battery exposed to extreme heat or pressures causes a breach in the cell case, 1 exposure to the constituents may occur. Inhalation of cobalt dusts may result in pulmonary conditions. 4. First Aid Measures In case of electrolyte solution spill precautions must be taken to avoid any contact of human tissues. If it accidentally happens following must be done: Eye Contact: Flush with plenty of water during at least 15-30 minutes. Get immediate hospital treatment. Consult eye specialist. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and flush effected areas with plenty of water. Medical treatment. Ingestion If the injured is fully conscious plenty of drink, preferably milk. Do not induce vomiting. Immediate hospital treatment. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Rinse mouth and nose with water. Medical treatment. 5. Fire and Explosion Hazard Data Extinguishing Media: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical or Foam extinguishers Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full fire-fighting protective clothing. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Do not dispose of battery in fire---may explode. Do not short-circuit battery----may cause burns. Do not break open cell---may cause leakage of electrolyte. 6. Spill Management Procedure Spill and leaks are unlikely because cells are contained in an hermetically-sealed case. If the battery case is breached, wear protective clothing that is impervious to caustic materials and absorb or pack spill residues in inert material. Dispose in accordance with applicable state and local regulations.
