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
swallowed.
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
sensation and/or feel soapy or slippery to

of California to cause birth defects or other re-
productive harm.

Potential for fire and explosion: The electrolyte in the Micro-Fuel Cells is

not flammable. There are no fire or explosion hazards associated with Mi-

cro-Fuel Cells.

Potential for reactivity: The sensors are stable under normal conditions of

use. Avoid contact between the sensor electrolyte and strong acids.
