5. HEALTH AND SAFETY
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth immediately and drink plenty of water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician or poison control center
immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention
immediately. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the
substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way
valve or other proper respiratory medical device. If breathing is difficult, (trained personnel
should) give oxygen. Delayed pulmonary edema may occur. Get medical attention
immediately if symptoms occur.
Skin contact:
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water while removing all contaminated
clothes and shoes. Immediate medical attention is required. May cause an allergic skin
reaction.
Eye contact:
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Keep
eye wide open while rinsing. Do not rub affected area. Remove contact lenses, if present and
easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek immediate medical attention/advice.
Self-protection of the
first aider:
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to
protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Avoid direct contact with skin. Use barrier to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Use personal protective equipment as required. Wear personal protective clothing (see
section 8).
6. FIRE HAZARD & FIREFIGHTING
Fire Hazard
Batteries may rupture or leak if involved in a fire.
Extinguishing Media
Use any extinguishing media appropriate for the surrounding area.
Special hazards arising
from the chemical
In case of fire where lithium batteries are present, flood area with water or smother with a
Class D fire extinguishant appropriate for lithium metal, such as Lith-X. Water may not
extinguish burning batteries but will cool the adjacent batteries and control the spread of
fire. Burning batteries will burn themselves out. Virtually all fires involving lithium batteries
can be controlled by flooding with water. However, the contents of the battery will react with
water and form hydrogen gas. In a confined space, hydrogen gas can form an explosive
mixture. In this situation, smothering agents are recommended. A smothering agent will
extinguish burning lithium batteries.
Precautions for
fire-fighters
Emergency Responders should wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Burning lithium
manganese dioxide batteries produce toxic and corrosive
lithium hydroxide fumes.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage
Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Elevated temperatures can result in shortened battery
life. In locations that handle large quantities of
