Not determined.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Not determined.
Hazardous Combustion Products Sulfuric acid: Sulfur trioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfuric acid mist, sulfur dioxide, and
hydrogen sulfide.
Lead Compounds: High temperatures above the melting point are likely to produce toxic metal fume, vapor, or dust; contact
with strong acid or base or presence of nascent hydrogen may generate highly toxic arsine gas.

dry sand, earth, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials. Neutralize spilled material
with soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, lime, etc. Wear acid-resistant clothing, boots, gloves,
and face shield. Dispose of as hazardous waste. Do not discharge acid to sewer.
Methods for Clean-Up
Spent Batteries - send to secondary lead smelter for recycling. Follow applicable federal,
state and local regulations Neutralize as in preceding step. Collect neutralized material in
sealed container and handle as hazardous waste as applicable. A copy of this SDS must be
supplied to any scrap dealer or secondary lead smelter with the battery.
