Lead Compounds: Lead is listed as a Group 2A- carcinogen, likely in animals at extreme doses. Per the guidance found in OSHA 29
CFR 1910.1200 Appendix F, this is approximately equivalent to GHS Category 1A. Proof of carcinogenicity in humans is lacking at
present.

OSHA Specifically Regulated Substances (29 CFR 1910.1001-1050)
Not listed.
Reproductive toxicity
May damage fertility or the unborn child.
Specific target organ
toxicity -
single exposure
No data available.
Specific target organ
toxicity -
repeated exposure
Lead: May cause damage to organs (blood, central nervous system) through prolonged or
repeated exposure.
Aspiration hazard
Not classified.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environmental Fate
Lead is very persistent in soil and sediments. No data on environmental degradation. Mobility of
metallic lead between ecological compartments is slow. Bioaccumulation of lead occurs in aquatic
and terrestrial animals and plants but little bioaccumulation occurs through the food chain. Most
studies include lead compounds and not elemental lead
Environmental toxicity
Aquatic Toxicity:
Sulfuric Acid
24-hr LC50, freshwater fish (Brachydanio rerio): 82 mg/L
96 hr- LOEC, freshwater fish (Cyprinus carpio): 22 mg/L
Lead
48 hr LC50 (modeled for aquatic invertebrates): <1 mg/L, based on lead bullion
Additional Information
No known effects on stratospheric ozone depletion
Volatile organic compounds: 0% (by Volume)
Water Endangering Class (WGK): NA
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste disposal method
Material should be recycled if possible. Lead-acid batteries are completely recyclable. Dispose
waste and residues in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
Hazardous waste code
D008: Lead
Waste from residues /
unused products
Dispose of in accordance with local regulations. Empty containers or packaging may retain some
product residues. This material and its container must be disposed of in a safe manner (see:
Disposal instructions).
Contaminated packaging
Empty containers should be taken to an approved waste handling site for recycling or disposal.
14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION
Note: Transportation requirements do not apply once the battery pack has been installed in a vehicle as part of the vehicle’s
functional components.
United States DOT:
DOT rules specified in 49 CFR 173.159 regulate the transport of wet spillable batteries.
