11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Information on likely routes of exposure
Inhalation Contents of an open battery can cause respiratory irritation. Hypersensitivity to
nickel can cause allergic pulmonary asthma.
Eye contact Contents of an open battery can cause severe irritation and chemical burns.
Skin contact Contents of an open battery can cause skin irritation and/or chemical burns.
Nickel, nickel compounds, cobalt, and cobalt compounds can cause skin
sensitization and an allergic contact dermatitis.
Ingestion Swallowing a battery can be harmful.
Contents of an open battery can cause serious chemical burns of mouth,
esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract.
