Section 4: First Aid Measures
4.1 Description of first aid measures:
Electrolyte (diluted sulphuric acid): sulphuric acid acts corrosively and damages skin
Lead compounds: lead compounds are classified as toxic for reproduction (if swallowed)
4.1.1 Electrolyte (Sulphuric acid)
after skin contact:
rinse with water, remove and wash wetted clothing
after inhalation of acid mist:
inhale fresh air, seek advice of a medical doctor
after contact with the eyes:
rinse under running water for several minutes, seek advice of a medical doctor
after swallowing:
drink lot of water immediately, swallow activated carbon, do not induce vomiting, seek advice of
a medical doctor
4.1.2 Lead compounds
after skin contact:
clean with water and soap
after inhalation:
inhale fresh air, seek advice of a medical doctor
after contact with the eyes:
rinse under running water for several minutes, seek advice of a medical doctor
after swallowing:
wash mouth with water, seek advice of a medical doctor
Section 5: Firefighting measures
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Hydrogen and Oxygen gases are produced in cells during normal battery operation
and expel into air through vent caps.
Suitable fire extinguishing agents:
CO2 or dry powder extinguishing agents
Unsuitable fire extinguishing agents:
Water, if the battery voltage is above 120 V
Special protective equipment:
Protective goggles, respiratory protective equipment, acid protective equipment,
acid proof clothing in case of larger stationary battery plants or where larger
quantities are stored.
Special Firefighter Procedures
Use Positive Pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus.
Note:
Hydrogen Flash point: -259°C. Hydrogen Auto ignition point: 580°C
Hydrogen Flammable Limits in Air (% by Volume): Lower Explosion Limit (LEL) : 4.1 ; Upper Explosion Limit (UEL) : 74.2
