11. Toxicological Information
11.1. Information on toxicological effects:
The hazardous components of the cell or battery are contained within a sealed unit. Under recommended use
conditions, the electrode materials and liquid electrolyte are non-reactive provided that the cell or battery integrity
remains and the seals remain intact. The potential for exposure should not exist unless the battery leaks, is exposed
to high temperature or is mechanically, electrically or physically abused/damaged. The following toxicology data is
in respect to if a person comes into contact with the electrolyte.
11.2. Acute Toxicity:
11.2.1. Swallowed: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is a corrosive liquid. Ingestion of this
electrolyte
would be harmful. Swallowing may result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and chemical burns to the
gastrointestinal tract. During normal usage ingestion should not be a means of exposure.
11.2.2. Eye: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is a corrosive liquid and it is expected that it would
cause irreversible damage to the eyes. Contact may cause corneal burns. Effects may be slow to heal after eye
contact. Correct handling procedures incorporating appropriate eye protection should minimize the risk of eye
irritation.
11.2.3. Skin: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is a corrosive liquid and it is expected that it would
cause skin burns or severe irritation to the skin if not washed off immediately. Correct handling procedures should
minimize the risk of skin irritation. People with pre-existing skin conditions, such as dermatitis, should take extreme
care so as not to exacerbate the condition.
11.2.4. Inhaled: Inhalation of vapors from a leaking cell or battery is expected to cause severe irritation of the
mouth and upper respiratory tract with a burning sensation, pain, burns and inflammation in the nose and throat;
there may also be coughing or difficulty breathing.
11.3. Skin Corrosion/Irritation: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is classified as a corrosive liquid
and is expected to exhibit Dermal Corrosivity/Irritation.
11.4. Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: The electrolyte contained within the cell or battery is classified as a corrosive
liquid and is expected to exhibit serious Damage/Corrosivity.
