Chronic Toxicity
Chronic Toxicity
Upon rupture of sealed battery:
Contains a known or suspected reproductive toxin.
This product contains one or more substances which are classified by IARC as carcinogenic to
humans (Group I), probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A) or possibly carcinogenic to
humans (Group 2B)
Chronic exposure to corrosive fumes/gases may cause erosion of the teeth followed by jaw
necrosis. Bronchial irritation with chronic cough and frequent attacks of pneumonia are
common. Gastrointestinal disturbances may also be seen. May cause adverse effects on the
bone marrow and blood-forming system.
