Section III – Physical Hazards
Primary route of entry: Ingestion, eye/skin contact
Exposure limits: OSHA PEL: .05 mg/cu.m. (Pb)
ACGIH TLV: 2 mg/cu.m. (KOH)
Effects of overexposure
Ingestion: The electrolyte could be harmful or fatal if swal-
lowed.
Oral LD50 (RAT) = 3650 mg/kg
Eye: The electrolyte is corrosive; eye contact could result
in permanent loss of vision.
Dermal: The electrolyte is corrosive; skin contact could result
in a chemical burn.
Inhalation: Liquid inhalation is unlikely.
Signs/symptoms of exposure: Contact with skin or eyes will cause a burning sensa-
tion and/or feel soapy or slippery to touch.
Medical conditions aggravated
by exposure: None
Carcinogenity: NTP Annual Report on Carcinogens: Not listed
LARC Monographs: Not listed
OSHA: Not listed
Other health hazards: Lead is listed as a chemical known to the State of
California to cause birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.
Potential for fire and explosion: The electrolyte in the Micro–Fuel Cells is not flam-
mable. There are no fire or explosion hazards associated with Micro–Fuel Cells.
Potential for reactivity: The sensors are stable under normal conditions of use.
Avoid contact between the sensor electrolyte and strong acids.
