Follow good personal hygiene to avoid inhalation and ingestion: wash hands, face, neck, and arms thoroughly before eating, smoking, or
leaving the worksite. Keep contaminated clothing out of non-contaminated areas or wear cover clothing when in such areas. Restrict the
use and presence of food, tobacco, and cosmetics to non-contaminated areas. Work clothes and work equipment used in contaminated
areas must remain in designated areas and never be taken home or laundered with personal non-contaminated clothing. This product is
intended for industrial use only and should be isolated from children and their environment.

Section XIII: Disposal Considerations (United States)
Spent
batteries
Send to secondary lead smelter for recycling. Spent lead-acid batteries are not regulated as hazardous waste
when the requirements of 40 CFR Section 266.80 are met. Spilled sulfuric acid is a characteristic hazardous
waste; EPA hazardous waste number D002 (corrosivity) and D008 (lead).
Electrolyte
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.
NOTE
: Following local, State/Provincial, and Federal/National regulations applicable to end-of-life characteristics will be the responsibility of the end user.
