First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove person to fresh air, keep comfortable for breathing. Get medical advice/attention.
(Lead, lead dioxide, lead sulfate) Wash skin with plenty of water and soap. If skin irritation occurs, get medical advice/attention. (dilute sulfuric acid) Take off or remove immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water or shower. If skin irritation or chemical injury occurs, get medical advice/attention.
Open the eyelids with your fingers, rinse thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention/advice.
(Lead, lead dioxide, lead sulfate) Rinse mouth. Get medical advice/attention. (dilute sulfuric acid) Rinse mouth. Give plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical advice/attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical advice/attention.
Medical Treatment
It is necessary to take a rest and medical observation.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Extinguish the fire by extinguishers of dry chemical agent, foam fire extinguish agent, and non-flammable gas.
No information.
In case of fire, there is a possibility that irritative, corrosive or toxic fumes or gases are generated. There is a possibility of explosion of the product by heat.
Cut off the power in case of connection/energizing the product into the device, if can be coped with safely. Move the product from the fire area if it is not dangerous. After extinguishing the fire, continue to cool the container thoroughly with plenty of water. Immediately move the movable product to safe place when fire occurs in surrounding. If it is not movable, cool the product with water spray. Keep away the combustible materials to prevent spread fire around.
Firefighter Protection
Extinguish fire from upwind. Wear appropriate protective clothes for chemical (self-contained breathing apparatus, protective glasses, etc.) to fire fighting.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Do not touch or walk through the leakage. Do not breathe dust, mist and vapour. Absorb by sprinkling misty water when the gas is generated.
Be careful to not discharge the product into the rivers, sewer, and soil.
remove by absorbing with them. And then, neutralized with sodium bicarbonate or slaked lime, and wash off with plenty of water.
Materials: absorbing mat, sodium bicarbonate or slaked lime, water

Stability and Reactivity
Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials
(lead) When oxygen is present, it will be eroded by pure water and the weak organic acid. At normal temperature, it will be eroded by fluorine or chlorine. (lead dioxide/ lead sulfate) It is considered to be stable under normal handling and storage. (dilute sulfuric acid) At first, vapor is generated by heating, and generate sulfuric acid vapors if continue to heat. Rapid contact with water might be generate a large amount of heat, and sometimes the acid is scattered. Dilute sulfuric acid which is generated by diluting with water, generates hydrogen gas by the corrosion of various metals and may cause flash explosion by mixing with air. There is hygroscopic.
(lead) It does not occur hazardous reaction under normal condition. (lead dioxide) React violently with combustible materials and organic matter (sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric acid), and it may cause risk of fire. (lead sulfate) It may react with strong oxidizing agents. (dilute sulfuric acid) It may cause fire or explosion by many reactions. It is strong oxidant and reacts with combustible and reducing materials. It is strong acid and reacts violently with bases and is corrosive to most common metals forming a flammable/explosive gas(hydrogen). React with water and organic materials violently and release heat.

Heating, contact with ignition sources (open flame, spark, etc.,)
(lead): Oxidizing agent. (lead dioxide): Flammable materials, reducing materials. (lead sulfate): Strong oxidizing agents. (dilute sulfuric acid): Combustible materials, reducing materials, strong oxidizing agents, strong bases.
In case, there is a possibility that irritative or toxic gases or fumes (sulfur trioxide, carbon monoxide, mist sulfate, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide) are generated. In case of fire, there is a possibility that irritative or toxic gases or fumes are generated.
