SECTION 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance/Odor: Solid article, odorless
WARNING: No exposure during routine handling of product. Hydrofluoric Acid Exposure During Fire
Fighting: This information is given for the use of professional fire fighters responding to a warehouse fire where
fire from other materials may incinerate batteries. This section is provided solely in case of exposure, during
fire fighting, to the combustion by-products.
Flammable: Organic components will burn if cell is incinerated. Combustion of cell contents may cause
evolution of Hydrogen Fluoride.
Potential Health Effects: Fluoride interferes with nerve impulse conduction causing severe pain or absence
of sensations
Likely Routes of Exposure: Eye contact, skin contact, skin absorption, inhalation. Hydrofluoric acid is
extremely corrosive. Contact with hydrogen fluoride fumes is to be avoided. Permissible exposure limit is
3ppm. In case of contact with hydrogen fluoride fumes, immediately leave the area and seek first aid and
emergency medical attention. Symptoms may have delayed onset. Fluoride ions penetrate skin readily causing
destruction of deep tissue layers even bone. Fluoride interferes with nerve impulse conduction causing severe
pain or absence of sensations. Immediately flush eyes or skin with water for at least 20 minutes to neutralize the
acidity and remove some fluoride. Remove and destroy all contaminated clothing and permeable personal
possessions. Before re-use, impermeable possessions should be soaked in benzalkonium chloride after washing.
Following flushing of the affected areas, an iced aqueous solution of benzalkonium chloride or 2.5% calcium
