Section 10:Stability and Reactivity
Stability:
Stable under normal conditions
Conditions to Avoid:
Avoid shorting circuit or sparks near battery.
Avoid prolonged over-charging.
Use only approved charging methods. Do not
charge in gas tight containers. Sparks, open
flames, keep battery away from strong
oxidizers.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Combustion can produce carbon dioxide and
carbon monoxide.
Hazardous Polymerization
Hazardous Polymerization has not been
reported.
Section 11:Toxicological Information
General:
The primary routes of exposure to lead are ingestion or inhalation of dust and fumes.
Chronic: Inhalation/Ingestion:
Prolonged exposure to lead and its compounds may produce many of the symptoms of
short-term exposure and may also cause central nervous system damage,
gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, and wrist drop. Symptoms of central nervous
system damage include fatigue, headaches, tremors, hypertension, hallucination,
convulsions and delirium. Kidney dysfunction and possible injury has also been
associated with chronic lead poisoning. Chronic over-exposure to lead has been
implicated as a causative agent for the impairment of male and female reproductive
capacity, but there is at present, no substantiation of the implication. Pregnant women
should be protected from excessive exposure. Lead can cross the placental barrier and
unborn children may suffer neurological damage or developmental problems due to
excessive lead exposure in pregnant women.
Acute: Inhalation/Ingestion:
Exposure to lead and its compounds may cause headaches, nausea, vomiting,
abdominal spasms, fatigue, sleep disturbances, weight loss, anemia. Kidney damage,
as well as anemia, can occur from acute exposure.
Section 12:Ecological Information
In most surface water and groundwater, lead forms compounds with anions such as
hydroxides, carbonates, sulfates, and phosphates, and precipitates out of the water
column. Lead may occur as sorbed ions or surface coatings on sediment mineral
particles or may be carried in colloidal particles in surface water. Most lead is strongly
retained in soil, resulting in little mobility. Lead may be immobilized by ion exchange
with hydrous oxides or clays or by chelation with humic or fulvic acids in the soil.
Lead(dissolved phase) is bioaccumulated by plants and animals, both aquatic and
terrestrial.
