Section 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ACUTE TOXICITY DATA: Lead/lead compounds: No data is available. Sulfuric Acid: LD50 oral rat: 2140 mg/kg LD50 inhalation: 510 mg/m3/2 hour CARCINOGENICITY: The National Toxicological Program (NTP) and The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have classified “strong inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid” as a Category 1 carcinogen, a substance that is carcinogenic to humans. The ACGIH has classified “strong inorganic acid mist containing sulfuric acid” as an A2 carcinogen (suspected human carcinogen). These classifications do not apply to liquid forms of sulfuric acid or sulfuric acid solutions contained within a battery. Inorganic acid mist (sulfuric acid mist) is not generated under normal use of this product. Misuse of the product, such as overcharging, may result in the generation of sulfuric acid mist. The NTP and the IARC have classified lead as an A3 carcinogen (animal carcinogen). While the agent is carcinogenic in experimental animals at relatively high doses, the agent is unlikely to cause cancer in humans except under uncommonly high levels of exposure. For further information, see the ACGIH’s pamphlet, 1996 Threshold Limit Values and Biological Exposure Indices. 183089‐000 Rev B Page 3 of 6 REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY: Lead is known to cause birth defects in human and animals. TERATOGENICITY: Lead is known to cause birth defects in human and animals. MUTAGENICITY: Lead has been found to be mutagenic. SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS: Other heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, mercury) may cause additive toxic effects. Section 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION EFFECTS OF MATERIALS ON PLANTS OR ANIMALS: Lead and its compounds may cause an adverse effect to animals and plants that come into contact with them. EFFECTS ON AQUATIC LIFE: Lead and its compounds may cause an adverse effect to animals and plants in an aquatic environment that come into contact with them.
