2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview
Revision Number 2
This product is an article. No exposure to hazardous chemicals is expected to occur during intended product use.
Misuse of the product may result in exposure to hazardous chemicals.
Potential Health Effects
Principle Routes of Exposure
Acute Toxicity
Eyes
Skin
Inhalation
Ingestion
Chronic Effects
Aggravated Medical
Conditions
Environmental Hazard
Eye contact. Skin contact.
In case of rupture: Corrosive to the eyes and may cause severe damage including blindness.
In case of rupture: Causes burns.
In case of rupture: Harmful by inhalation. Causes burns.
In case of rupture: Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion causes burns of the upper digestive and
respiratory tract.
Upon rupture of sealed battery: Possible risks of irreversible effects. Chronic exposure to
corrosive fumes/gases may cause erosion of the teeth followed by jaw necrosis. Bronchial
irritation with chronic cough and frequent attacks of pneumonia are common. Gastrointestinal
disturbances may also be seen. Avoid repeated exposure. May cause adverse effects on the
bone marrow and blood-forming system. May cause adverse liver effects.
Central nervous system. Pre-existing eye disorders. Blood disorders. Kidney disorders. Liver
disorders. Skin disorders. Respiratory disorders. Central Vascular System (CVS).
See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information. Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may
cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Odor NoneAppearance Green Physical State Solid.
