2.HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
For the battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed metal case, designed to
withstand temperatures and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result, during normal use, there
is no physical danger of ignition or explosion and chemical danger of hazardous materials' leakage.
However, if exposed to a fire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, added electric stress by misuse, the
gas release vent will be operated. The battery cell case will be breached at the extreme. Hazardous materials
may be released.
Moreover, if heated strongly by the surrounding fire, acrid or harmful fume may be emitted.
・Most important hazard and effects
Human health effects:
Inhalation: The electrolyte inhalation affects the respiratory tract membrane and the lugs. Cadmium
fume may cause a cough, chest pain and dyspnea. Bronchitis and pneumonia will be
occurred. Probably, it is carcinogen.
Skin contact: The electrolyte skin contact affects the skin seriously and may cause dermatitis.
Eye contact: The electrolyte leaked from the battery cell is strong alkali. When it goes into an eye, the
cornea may be affected and it may lead to blindness.
Ingestion: The electrolyte ingestion irritates the mouth and the throat seriously results in vomiting,
nausea, hematemesis, stomach pains and diarrhea.
Environmental effects:
Since a battery cell remains in the environment, do not throw out it into the environment.
・Specific hazards：
As previously described.
