First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove to fresh air immediately. If breathingis difficult, give oxygen. Consult aphysician.
Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes; remove contaminated clothing completely, including shoes. If symptomspersist,seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothingbefore reuse. Discard contaminated shoes.
Flush immediatelywith large amounts of water for a least 15 minutes;consultphysician.
Give large quantities of water; do not induce vomiting or aspiration into the lungs may occur and can cause permanent injury or death; consult aphysician.
Immediate Medical Attention
Consult a physician. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
CO2; foam; dry chemical; water; water fog.
Water applied to sulfuric acid generates heat and causes acid to splatter.
Reacts violently with metals, nitrates, chlorates, carbides and other organic materials. Reacts with most metals to yield explosive and flammable hydrogengas.
Firefighter Protection
Wear full-cover sulfuric acid resistant clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Stop flow of material, contain/absorb small spills with dry sand, earth or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials. If possible, carefully neutralize spilled electrolyte with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc. Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves and face shield. Do not allow discharge of unneutralized acid to sewer.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Handle cautiously; avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas with impervious surfaces and adequate containment in the event of spills.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Store and handle in well-ventilated area. If mechanical ventilation is used, components must be acid-resistant.
Use rubber or plastic acid-resistant gloves with elbow-length gauntlet.
Use chemical goggles or face shield. Face shield recommended when adding water or electrolyte to batteries.
None required under normal conditions. When concentrations of sulfuric acid mist are known to exceed the PEL, use NIOSH or MSHA-approved respiratory protection.
Acid-resistant apron, clothing, and boots. Under severe exposure emergency conditions, wear acid-resistant clothing and boots.

neutralization
Place neutralized slurry into sealed containers and handle as applicable with state and federal regulations. Large water-diluted spills, after neutralization and testing, should be managed in accordance with approved local, state and federal requirements. Consult state environmental agency and/or federal EPA. Following local, State/Provincial, and Federal/National regulations applicable to end-of-life characteristics will be the responsibility of the end-user.
