MSDS

Sulphuric Acid: The international Agent for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified”

strong inorganic acid mist containing sulphuric acid” as a Category 1 carcinogen, a

substance that is carcinogenic to humans. This classification does not apply to liquid

forms of sulphuric acid contained within a battery. Inorganic acid mist (sulphuric acid

mist) is not generated under normal use of this product. Misuse of the products such

as overcharging , may result in the generation of sulphuric acid mist.

Lead Components:

Lead is listed as 2B carcinogen, likely in animals at extreme doses.

Proof of carcinogenicity in human is lacking at precent.

Arsenic:

Listed by National Toxicology Program (NTP), IARC, OSHA and NIOSH as a

carcinogen only after prolonged exposure at high levels.

5. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: (SULPHURIC ACID)

1) INHALATION :

Remove from exposure and consult a physician if any of the acute effects listed above

develop.

2) SKIN :

Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If acid is splashed on clothing, immediately

remove them and discard. If acid is splashed in shoes, remove them immediately and
