Other information:
Carcinogenic Effects:
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified “strong inorganic acid mist
containing sulfuric acid” as a Category 1 carcinogen, a substance that is carcinogenic to humans. This
classification does not apply to liquid forms of sulfuric acid or sulfuric acid solutions contained
within a battery. Batteries subjected to abusive charging at excessively high currents for prolonged
periods without vent
caps in place may create a surrounding atmosphere of the offensive strong inorganic
acid mist containing sulfuric acid.
11.2.2 Routes of exposure:
11.2.2.1 In case of ingestion:
Acute (Immediate): Under normal conditions of use, no health effects are expected. Lead ingestion may
cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and severe cramping.
Chronic (Delayed): No data available
11.2.2.2 In case of skin contact:
Acute (Immediate): Under normal conditions of use, no health effects are expected.
Chronic (Delayed): No data available
11.2.2.3 In case of inhalation:
Acute (Immediate): Under normal conditions of use,
no health effects are expected. Contents of an open
battery can cause respiratory irritation.
Chronic (Delayed): Repeated and prolonged exposure may cause irritation.
11.2.2.4 In case of eye contact:
Acute (Immediate): Under normal conditions of use, no health effects are expected. Exposure to dust may
cause irritation.
Chronic (Delayed): No data available
