chemical burn hazards may occur. Apperance, Solid object with no odor, no color. Color, and Odor Primary These chemicals are contained in a sealed stainless steel enclosure. Risk of exposure Route(s) of occurs only if the cell is mechanically, thermally or electrically abused to the point of Exposure compromising the enclosure. If this occurs, exposure to the electrolyte solution contained within can occur by Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye contact and Skin contact

Potential health effects

ACUTE (short term): see Section 8 for exposure controls In the event that this battery has been ruptured, the electrolyte solution contained within the battery would be corrosive and can cause burns. Inhalation: A battery volatilizes no gas unless it was damaged. Damaged battery will volatilize little gas that may stimulate the respiratory tract or cause an anaphylaxis in serious condition. Ingestion: Swallowing battery will be Damaged to the respiratory tract and Cause chemical burns to the stomach; in serious conditions it will cause Permanent damage. Skin: In normal condition, Contact between the battery and skin will not cause any harms. Contact with a damaged battery may cause skin allergies or chemical burns. Eye: in normal condition, Contact between the battery and eyes will not cause any harms. However, the gas Volatilize from a damaged battery may be harmful to eyes.

Long term hazards
