SECTION 2. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Most Important Hazard and Effects:

The battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed metal case, designed to withstand temperatures and pressures

encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use, there is no physical danger of ignition or explosion and chemical danger

of hazardous materials leakage.

However, if exposed to a fire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, added electric stress by misuse, the gas release vent will be

operated. The battery cell case will be breached at the extreme. Hazardous materials may be released.

Moreover, if heated strongly by the surrounding fire, acrid or harmful fume may be emitted.

Human Health Effects:

Inhalation: The electrolyte inhalation affects the respiratory tract membrane and the lungs. Cadmium fume may cause a cough, chest

pain and dyspnea. Bronchitis and pneumonia will be occurred. Probably, it is carcinogen

Skin Contact: The electrolyte skin contact affects the skin seriously and may cause dermatitis.

Eye Contact: The electrolyte leaked from the battery cell is strong alkali. When it goes into eye, the cornea may be affected and it

may lead to blindness.

Ingestion: The electrolyte ingestions irritates the mouth and the throat seriously results in vomiting, nausea, hematemesis,

stomach pains and diarrhea.

Environmental Effects: Since a battery cell remains in the environment, do not dispose it into the normal waste stream.

Specific Hazards: As previously described.
