Li-Po Battery

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

a. Lithium cobalt oxide:Bule-black powder(odorless),cobalt and cobalt compounds are considered to be possible human carcinogen(s).By IARC: May irritate eyes, skin, nose, throat and respiratory system and may cause allergic skin sensitization. b. Carbon:Black powder(odorless),no cases of carbon being harm to human have been reported. WHO and ILO have never verified that carbon irritation of the shin and mucous membrane, etc. Electric agent Black powder (Garlic-Like),Toxicity (Am. Conf. Of Gov. Ind. Hygienists ACGIH 2000 Edition) Simple Asphyxiant, Flammability limits in air (STP conditions) 2.4-83vol%(The upper limit could reach 100%) d. Bond: White powder(odorless),inhalation and skin contact are expected to be the primary routs of occupational exposure to this material. As a finished product, it is a synthetic, high molecular weight polymer. Due to its chemical and physical properties, this material does not require special handing other than the good industrial hygiene and safety practical employed with any industrial material of this type. Under normal processing conditions, this material release fume or vapor components of these release may vary with processing time and temperature. These processer release may produce eye, skin and/respiratory tract irritation and ,with repeated or prolonged exposures, nausea, drowsiness, headache and weakness. Although unlikely under normal handling conditions, if this materials is heated in excess of 600F(315°C),hazardous, decomposition products will be produced. Hazardous decomposition products include hydrogen fluoride and oxides of carbon, the concentrations of which vary with temperature and heating regimens. e. Electrolyte: Liquid(colorless),may cause moderate to severe irritation, burning, and dryness of the skin. May cause eye irritation or burning. Breathing of the mists, vapors or fumes may irritate the nose, throat and lungs or fumes may irritate the nose, throat and lungs. Exposure of material with areas which contain water may generate hydrofluoric acid which can cause immediate burns on shin, severe eye burns to the mouth and gastrointestinal tract if inhaled. Direct exposure to areas of the body needs to be treated immediately to prevent injury. Under normal conditions of use the battery is hermitically sealed article. The products referenced herein are exempt article and are not subject to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard requirements for preparation of material safety date sheets.
