Lithium-ion Battery - Rechargeable
06A
Likely Routes of Exposure: Eye contact, skin contact, skin absorption, inhalation. Hydrofluoric acid is
extremely corrosive. Contact with hydrogen fluoride fumes is to be avoided. Permissible exposure limit
is 3ppm. In case of contact with hydrogen fluoride fumes, immediately leave the area and seek first aid
and emergency medical attention. Symptoms may have delayed onset. Fluoride ions penetrate skin
readily causing destruction of deep tissue layers even bone. Fluoride interferes with nerve impulse
conduction causing severe pain or absence of sensations. Immediately flush eyes or skin with water for
at least 20 minutes to neutralize the acidity and remove some fluoride. Remove and destroy all
contaminated clothing and permeable personal possessions. Before re-use, impermeable possessions
should be soaked in benzalkonium chloride after washing. Following flushing of the affected areas, an
iced aqueous solution of benzalkonium chloride or 2.5% calcium gluconate gel should be applied to
react with the fluoride ion. Compresses and wraps may be used for areas where immersion is not
practical. Medicated dressing should be changed every 2 minutes. Exposure to hydrofluoric acid fumes
sufficient to cause pain requires immediate hospitalization for monitoring for pulmonary edema.
